Greek Week

This week it's one of my dad's favorite cuisines.... Greek Week. Bonus fact- the Greeks serve fries with their meals. I made a gyro with tzatziki sauce, greek green beans, french fries and baklava for dessert. I tried the tzatziki sauce and it was pretty good. This is important because I'm an incredibly picky eater and won't try most things. I also tried a part of the baklava. I loved it, but it was too sugary and I would be on a sugar rush all night.

This is the recipe I used for the gyro meat.

  1. Wow Owen.... a totally different style of cooking for you in this Blog entry. Great Job... looks delicious too. You might consider whether you could cut back on the sweeting / sugar in your Baklava if you liked it enough to retry at a later date.. I would love the opportunity to share some with you in the future. Keep up the great culinary work and the Blog entries... P.S. I liked the special wrinkle of you adding French Fries so that you too could thoroughly enjoy this latest Owen Burdo masterpiece.
