Embarrassing adolescent confession time: I had a crush on Uncle Jesse. Uncle Jesse was Greek and therefore in honor of Uncle Jesse I give you the quintessential Greek dish: Spanakopita (Originally published in I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris) 5 eggs 3 10-oz packages of frozen, chopped spinach, defrosted (ring [...]
