Go Greek!

Did you know I like Greek food? In fact, I really LIKE it. So much so that whenever I see a sign like this, you can bet I'll be there!

Maybe I should say, I'll TRY to be there. You see, I really haven't been to a Greek festival in, well, about 6 years. There was this one time in Memphis, when my sweet husband attempted to take me. We only had one available night during the entire festival that we could go, so the kids and I were going to meet Matt after work to walk around the festival and enjoy some Greek food. We parked, we walked and we got there only to find out you had to have cash.

Well, neither Matt nor I EVER have cash on hand. And in a crazy twist of fate, Matt didn't have his ATM card either. I did have the checkbook, but our attempt to cash a check at the local grocery store failed. Sad to say, we had to load the kids up and drive to the local Mexican restuarant for dinner! Now, you know I love me some Mexican. But this particular night, I was REALLY, REALLY craving Greek food!

Fast forward to last night. The Greek Festival is in town, and guess what this wonderful festival has--A DRIVE THRU! GENIOUS! Matt had to attend a football game, so the kids and I loaded up in the car, drove downtown, and with a large stack of cash, I bought myself a fabulous Greek dinner!

I enjoyed it so much, I am tempted to go back tonight:) The good news is, if you live in this area, you can enjoy Greek food all year long. Here are a few of my local favorites...


Here are some more options for enjoying the Greek life all year round!

I think I might even learn to make baklava. Looking at this recipe, I think I can do it! Of course, a trip to the Greek Isles just might be my most preferred way to experience all things Greece!
