Greece. We have eaten greek food a thousand times. And never once thought about it. But really, we have been eating fast-food greek, not actual Greece. So we decided to take a break from the gryo (great word meaning sandwich in America), the three gallons of tzatziki dressing (greek ranch) they put on the sando, and the full pound of mystery meat that is shaved off the meat pole. This ain’t fast-food my friends. This is authentic Greece.
This was the year the great freeze came to Tennessee. True zero degrees temps that froze the pipes in so many houses. And made then burst. Turns out it made my mother and father in laws pipes burst too. So on xmas day, they had massive flooding in their home and no water. Just so happens that we have 3 extra bedrooms and could easily accommodate them. So for the only time in global-cook history, guess who’s coming to dinner???
Turned out to be a really good time. Our guests stayed for 3 days and it was awesome. Like sleep over camp for much older adults. LOL. We drank, we ate, we laughed, we wore Netflix out. And in the end, we were just a little bit sad to see our unexpected guests leave.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… GREECE.
