Happy Greek Independence Day!

St.Patrick's Day gets all of the fanfare but just over one week later is Greek Independence Day! March 25th is Greek Independence Day and here's how I am celebrating!

I am of Greek heritage, both sets of grandparents came over from Greece in the early 1900's.

I love Greek food and really don't eat it often enough.

My favorites include: Pastitsio, a baked pasta dish. Gyros are very popular and yummy. Baklava for dessert.

Blue and White are the Greek colors to wear for Greek Independence Day.

Tarpon Springs, Florida has a large percentage of Greek population. I lived there for seven months when I was ten years old and I loved it! The sponge docks are filled with Greek restaurants and shops. If you can't afford a trip to Greece, try a trip to Tarpon Springs, Florida!

So, Yasoo! That's basically hello in Greek. Impress your friends and tell them Yasoo (Ya-Sue).
