A Greek Lunch

Spinach pie and feta cheese And grape leaves stuffed with rice Formed the basis for a lunch That really was so nice. Eggplant dip, tzatziki sauce And salad, smartly dressed And served with olives; who could ever Sit there unimpressed? Sliced up chicken, pita bread Plus other dips and cheese Made a meal which all could see Was meant to sate and please. Of course, there also was dessert And snacky treats before, The kind of food that fills you up But still, you eat some more. So thank you, Pam, my hostess friend, For starting off my week With a lovely luncheon, filled with dishes Tasty, fresh and Greek!

Ilene, I love Greek food and occasionally make my own stuffed grape leaves. I also enjoy homemade spinakopita made with philo (filo?) dough and shaped in small triangles. Delicious! And then for dessert there's fabulous galatabourikos (a custard made with wheat, honey, vanills and baked wrapped in philo dough. As a young airman I visited Athens, an experience I still hold dear to this day. Wonderfully written poem, too. Thanks for reading me. / M
