GREEK FEST 2015
Yesterday after work, I went with a friend to Greek Fest! It was my first time going to this amazing annual event. I was very excited to check it out, not only for the food, but for the Greek dancing, music, shopping, and tour of the Church as well!! We fortunately lucked out with the weather! It was supposed to rain, but thankfully it turned out to be a gorgeous day!
The dancing and music was very entertaining!
And of course, there was an insane amount of food to choose from!
I'm so glad I went with a friend, because we were able to split a TON of food! I would not have been able to try so many different types of food all by myself.
First we split a plate of the dolmades and saganaki:
Dolmades - stuffed grape leaves with seasoned spiced rice.
Saganaki - Greek kasseri cheese flamed with brandy served on crust bread with a squeeze of lemon.
Next we tried the gyro sandwich:
Gyro Sandwich - seasoned blend of beef and lamb slices on pita bread, topped with tomatoes, onions, and tzatsiki sauce.
We also tried the pastichio, spanakopita, and baklava sundaes:
Spanakopita - thin layers of filo dough filled with a mixture of feta cheese, eggs, and spinach, then baked until golden brown.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of the Pastichio or the Spanakopita, but trust me when I say they were SO delicious!!
Baklava Sundaes - vanilla ice-cream topped with whipped cream, shredded baklava, syrup, and a cherry on top. :)
I couldn't resist trying a glass of Greek wine! ;)
I am certainly looking forward to going back to Greek Fest next year! :)
