Greek Festival

Greek Festival I've waited an entire year for this! More exciting than Christmas, for me... If only I had a wish list. The foods magnificent, the love expressed tastefully, yet simply extravagant. The aroma of Frappes and gyros set me reeling. Stuffed grape leaves and the best pastitsio on earth. Cooked by volunteer cooks~ sweating with love and mirth. Another time of communal OPA, with great feeling. The dancing, oh! The Sirtaki and the wonderful, Hasapiko.which are danced with beauty and total grace! There's no better time than this. It leaves a beaming smile on my face.  Greek bread drives me to total gastronomic oblivion. Pastries, lift me to heaven, off I go! Ah, Greek Festival, one more special event with Hellenic, great feeling! "Philitomo", well you have to look that one up-:)) As it has multiple meanings. Thank you.

this shows such passion for Greek culture and its food. Sounds incredibly yummy. Was this for the food contest or something? Where was the festival? Thanks for telling me about this one.
