I'm already looking ahead to this weekend and one of my must-do items is to attend Greek Fest. I'm planning on going at noon on Saturday if anyone is interested in joining me. Admission and parking are free, if that helps you decide.
It's kind of mind-boggling that this is the 51st year of the annual festival. I've never been before, but my Greek friends have been talking it up and I was considering it even before I got the opportunity to score some free food there in exchange for blogging about it.
There will be ample amounts of dancing, homemade food and imported Greek items for sale.
Even if you can't attend, you can win a Greek cookbook by leaving a comment on this post and telling me your favorite Greek delicacy. I'm a big baklava fan myself.
Comments must be received by Sunday, September 9th at 6:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time.
UPDATE: Comments are now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered! Winner will be announced in tomorrow's blog post.
Mousaka. Oh, hubba hubba.
2nd runner-up? Saganaki. Although, in a pinch, just a plain gyros sandwich will suffice.

Souvlaki is one of my favorites. I also love Greek green beans. I haven't been able to make them as good at home as they do at the Mad Greek in Lawrence.

I'm not sure if I've ever had Greek food. :(
More reason I need a cookbook, perhaps....

OK, years ago there was some recipe in Better Homes and Gardens that claimed to be Green, but I don't believe it. I NEED that cookbook!

Gyro + Baklava combo. Yummy! I've made baklava at home before, but nothing else. Would be fun to try!
