"On the house" hummus prepped at the table. Here our waiter is crushing the chick peas, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper together at the table. Oh my goodness! That's the way to have hummus. And it was served with freshly made, warm from the oven, pita bread slices.
Here's the appetizer we ordered: Saganaki, which translates to flaming cheese. Our waiter even yelled "Oopa!" as he lit it on fire.
I ordered slow roasted lamb...
And GJW ordered lamb chops which were marinated for 36 hours. Both dinners came with lemon potatoes and yiayia vegetables which were green beans with onions in a mysterious but delicious sauce.
And of course, dessert. Our reward after 2.5 days of hard work. (Plus, we've had dessert every night and you can't stop a streak like that!) This is Galaktoboureko. The description "honey phylo filled with custard" hardly does it justice. Super yummy.
Look closely at the girl with her back to us. Yes, she's wearing a veil and a satin sash like Miss America would wear. We're pretty sure this is a bachelorette party because she's wearing the veil and everyone else brought gifts. I've never heard of this trend, but Google it and it's everywhere. In fact, when we were waiting for the trolley after dinner, we saw 12 girls out walking, 11 dressed in black and carrying gifts, and 1 with a sash and no gifts wearing pink and yellow. You never hear of it and then it's everywhere.
Yes, we're down to just 2. Luke missed last night 'cuz he had work stuff to do and a 7:00 Skype call. The conference was over today, so Luke skipped the last session and took a late afternoon flight. Pam's dad lives an hour away, so she rented a car and headed off to visit him for a few days before heading back to Maine. GJW and I are leaving in the morning and I should get back to my place around 7pm.
