Greek Festival!

The food

Loukoumades

The local orthodox church holds a Greek Festival once a year. The first year we were here we probably didn't know it existed. The second year, we were probably at soccer, or something, but finally, this year, we got there...
It seems to be about food and Greek music and jumping castles, but more about food. We ate lunch there, heaps of lovely Greek food, the standouts of which were: the moussaka, the dolmades (vegetarian and meat) and the baklava. And a new one, loukoumades - little fried dough balls, like savory dumplings, not quite doughnut mixture, fried, with honey sauce drizzled over, and then sprinkled with cinnamon. We also tried Galaktobouriko - buttered sheets of philo pastry filled with egg custard and semolina, baked and topped with honey syrup, and the boys went halves in what I understand was chocolate covered baklava, but I think was is officially known as flogeres.
The kids got a go on the jumping castle that was a slide, for about 20 mins, until they were exhausted (and had carpet burns on their knees from various tricks they were trying), and then we went home!
