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.
The day before my 48th birthday, I felt in sort of celebratory mood. My brother, who had just flown in from a year in South Korea; and his wife, who had stayed at my house that entire year; all went to the city for some dining and shopping. His wife and I had been to the city a couple times during that year and had noticed a nice-looking Greek restaurant that we wanted to try out. And we had already stopped at a certain Mexican restaurant on our last visit, so we knew it was good. We planned on arriving around lunch time, filling the entire afternoon with shopping, then eating dinner before we left for home. This would allow us to have Greek for lunch and Mexican for dinner.
