I love the food from Greek Festival. Of course, we did not get to any other part of the fun. However, the atmosphere was upbeat.
Of course, I could not sleep the night before. So, we set out with my having only two hours sleep. We have never gone on Saturday before. Surprisingly, it was less busy in the drive-up line than during the week. It took an hour to get there and back even with going through the line twice.
Tommy had marinated lamb, skewered and grilled (two skewers), rice pilaf, spanakopita, tiropita, Greek salad and pita bread. I had the Greek chicken with the same sides as he did. Plus, I ordered two servings of chocolate baklava. For almost $60, we had lunch and dinner.
Tommy does not care for baklava, so both the boxes of chocolate baklava were mine...lol. He says it tastes weird. I wonder. I think the baklava I had today was the best I have ever had, chocolate or not.
I cannot stand lamb! It is a texture thing more than taste, but the taste is not to my taste.
spanakopita- filo triangle stuffed with feta, tiropita--filo trangle stuffed with spinach and feta.
I will make Greek chicken one of these days because it is delicious. I wonder if they sell a Greek cookbook.
Of course, I took a nap before dinner. Afterwards, I finished the Greek dinner. Today was a day without cooking. YAY
After I ate at lunch, I became very ill with food not going from my esophagus into stomach, I didn't really finish lunch, just was in such pain and quit. After throwing up, I sat for an hour in pain and finally went to bed for a nap. Chicken and rice are the top two offenders for not going down. Tonight, I still feel like I have been punched in midsection.
The first time this happened, I went to ER. They had to give me a shot to keep me from throwing up continually. It seems the stomach just gets irritated or something and cannot quit, like a spasm. I was eating chicken and rice that time.
Today was a pretty day--sunny, clear, not too hot, a perfect day for a festival. There was an art show somewhere, and something else happening around town, so I am glad there was no precipitation.
Tommy watched football for about four hours while we ate and then when I slept. So, it was a good day for him.
Publix has some really cute reusable bags. These have Halloween designs. I can see parents buying these for their children for Trick or Treat. I would. The Christmas ones are beautiful, at least they were last year. One employee says she buys those as gift bags instead of ones meant only for gift bags. Good idea. Most of their bags advertise Publix, not these.
Yes, it was a pretty boring day overall, but very pleasant with good food. And, I cleaned the outside of my pink purse that was sorely in need of attention and cleaning.
Tonight, I am dragging out all the fake pumpkins and Halloween/Thanksgiving items.
Mostly, there was no drama, personal attacks, or loudness. That makes a great day. I had a talk with him when all calmed down, and he said he would try to do better if I would.
Do you think baklava tastes weird?
Do you like lamb?
Does your esophagus have low motility so that food does not go into your stomach quickly as it should?
