We Flew To Greece

Well... not really...
But we did base an entire menu around Greek foods!!
We ate at my brother's house (payment for my babysitting for them LOL)

What I made is in blue, what my sil made is in red
Dolma: meat/rice stuffed grape leaves
and in the pot on the right has lemon rice pilaf

Being cut is Spanacopita: spinich/feta in flaky pastry crust
Souzoukaklia: spiced beef on skewers and grilled

Greek Salad: mixed greens, Kalamata olives, peperonici, feta, croutons and Greek vinaigrette
pitas, which... *ahem*  I bought instead of making homemade
Tzatziki: cucumber sauce
Greek Chicken: cooked with Greek Vinaigrette and then I added a dried tomato tampanad
There are also 2 other tampanads in the black jars there, an olive and a feta

Lemon Cake
Sweet Sesame bread


Brother, sil and 2 nephews


Sophie and 2 nieces

baby nephew :)

Christian and the teen nephew were too cool to hang around with us downstairs, therefore they were already gone by the time I got out the camera for 'eating' pictures

It was sooo yummy!  I loved everything!!  The kids for the most part loved everything too, only a few icks here and there.
