I Have Died and Gone to Greek Food Heaven!

Hello Food Diary and Hungry Food Bloggers!

Cool machine that shoots out the
 dounuts into the oi

It is not a school day but I had to pop on and tell you all about my wonderful and delicious experience today! Wes took me to the Greek Festival today! When we got there it was packed full of happy people eating great food and partaking in all of the fun festivities! There were tons of booths set up with many different types of Greek food and pastries. I was seriously in food heaven!! Wes and I started out with a lamb/beef gyro and Tzatziki sauce (one of my favorite things ever!) It was so yummy!  Next we went and got in line for fresh Loucoumathes (Greek Donuts). The line was really long (almolst like a theme park roller coaster line!) but everyone said it was worth the wait - and they were right!! While in line I got to watch the guy make the donuts. He had this really cool kitchen aide type thing that he would wind and little balls of dough would shoot out the bottom into the hot oil. When they
were done he scooped them up with a big tray and let them cool. Once cooled they took the donuts and coated them in a warm honey sauce and cinnamon. They were so good! Wes and I ate 10 in like 5 minutes! After devouring the donuts we went and visited a couple of our good friends who were working the beer booth. We grabbed a beer and it was time for MORE FOOD!! We picked up some grilled pork kabobs and lamp shanks. They were seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice - the traditional Greek flavoring. They were grilled to perfection with a crispy outside and a juicy inside! yummy! You cant have a Greek feast without having baklava! So our last stop was the pastry booth! We picked out a variety of different pastries - baklava, chocolate baklava, dimples and a few others I never got the names of.  Everything was crispy, flaky, honey-y, and amazing!! 

Assortment of pastries!

Pork Skewers!! 

Stick a fork in me I am done!! Ten pounds heavier... I am a happy camper...my belly is stuffed and my taste buds are satisfied! Today has been a great day! Eating all this wonderful food really reassures me that I am on  the right path...and
being a Chef is my true calling! I LOVE FOOD!

At the Greek market booth they were selling boxes of pre-made bechamel -
Which is the sauce we just learned how to make last week! Thought it was kind of cool!

Till next time!!!
