What a lovely family and wonderful friends! Hope you get to visit them in Crete again soon. I love lamb too and baklava. I never had Souvlaki but it sounds and looks delicious. How nice to have that Greek Fest there. Nice photos too, makes me want to go to Crete and eat Greek food!JerseyLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381518701383106141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579692746110891017.post-58668058902937996162013-06-25T15:08:34.763-07:002013-06-25T15:08:34.763-07:00Kris, your Polish salad sounds much like the Hunga...Kris, your Polish salad sounds much like the Hungarian salad Grandma made - cukes, onions, sour cream and cider vinegar.<br /><br />I simply LOVE tzatziki!

I noticed in another post you like Greek potatoes. I have a blog entry with a recipe i found that came close to what I remember.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338293880104502524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579692746110891017.post-67553272200328108072013-06-21T07:04:52.531-07:002013-06-21T07:04:52.531-07:00A close friend of mine is choir leader in our loca...A close friend of mine is choir leader in our local Greek Orthodox Church. Every month they have a public dinner which my wife and I attend. Even though I'm not a meat eater I still find plenty of good food to eat, and the warmth of the people, their gaiety and conviviality is infectious. I've become friends with their oldest member, a 96 year old woman named Dottie, who used to own and run a Greek restaurant here in town. I often run into her while I'm walking downtown, and we always have lively and interesting talks. nothing profoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538561601096574876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579692746110891017.post-71382583595736042802013-06-21T02:46:08.413-07:002013-06-21T02:46:08.413-07:00Reading this post made me hungry!

I'm half-Polish, and there is a salad that's similar to tzatziki, made with cucumbers, dill, and sour cream. The photos were a nice accompaniment to your reminiscences of your Greek friends and their family's hospitality. It's great that you keep in touch with them, and I hope you get to visit them again soon! Looks like Cleveland's Greek Festival is foodie heaven! Loved seeing the dancing. Reminds me of the Polish Club get togethers my family and I went to when I lived in Cincinnati.Helena Fortissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038388794311046455noreply@blogger.com
