Greek Foods

Something I like is Greek cuisine.  There used to be a Greek restaurant close by that I liked to visit, but they moved somewhere else.  But that won't bother me too much because there are a couple dishes that I make at home to satisfy any craving for Greek food that I may have.  A main course and a dessert - perfect!

The first and favorite of mine are Gyros - a wrap of pita bread filled with lamb meat, tomatoes and with a cucumber sauce.  I make it all homemade, as fresh items always seem to taste better.  Here is a shot of some pita bread I made recently:

 


And here is what a finished gyro looks like.  I can guarantee they are very tasty:



Of course, for any meal, you must have dessert afterwards.  A Greek pastry that I really like and have made, is called Loukoumades.  They're deep-fried and then sprinkled with powdered sugar.  They come out looking like this and are mouthwatering, for sure:

 


So, there you have it - two dishes that will satisfy any cravings for Greek food you might have.
