GREEK FEST time!

As my cube mate Caitlin would say OH EMM GEE....so exciting, I was just marking days off the calender and guess what this weekend is??? GREEK FEST

The plan was that this was the week I was going to start eating better (and had even considered *gasp* exercising!) ...but honestly, with Greek Fest mere days away it has to be next Monday that I start because the Kataifi, Calamari and Roast Lamb await me....and I dont think that any of those foods are known for their low calories - god bless each one of their delicious calories actually. 

If you havent been to this festival and you are one of my people here in Seattletown, you should definatly take time to attend.  First - the church itself is a masterpiece of guilded gorgeousness.  The church offers complimentary tours through the church on the hour and its worth going so you can ooh and aaah at the lovely interior.  Second - you can snag some wonderous deals on specialty foods like olives, homemade pita bread etc.  Third - you can learn about the Greek culture through song and dance, the dance of course being useful to join in with when you have a tumtum full of lamb...and speaking of the lamb, thank you lambies for dying of natural causes so that a lovely Greek man could roast your succulent self over coals. 

I'm glad that you had a good life sniffing the flowers in your own beautiful green field, shimmying to your favorite music and smiling when you saw a rainbow or a butterfly till that day when you had had enough of all that and turned up at the Greek Fest.  And fourth - did I mention the food? Oh my goodness its wonderful.  The congruents bake for days leading up to this festival - almost everything is homemade and delectable.

Its a three day event and they are open till 9pm so no excuses.
