Where could all the Greek Americans in the greater Portland area be found last weekend? Why the Greek Festival of course! Last Sunday found us eating our way through the Greek Festival and oh was Papou happy, he waits for those loukoumades all year long! We had a wonderful time, and left with very full bellies, just the way those Greeks like it!
Our first, yes first, batch of loukoumades
Aren't those the faces of people who have been waiting months to eat little fried bundles of honey?
After the loukoumades we moved on to kourambiedes, of which we voted and decided that we like Papou's better
After all those sweets I of course needed a Frappe
So did she...
And then it was on to the main event... the lamb! Somehow I made friends with this little old YaYa in a dress that looked like the Greek flag. Well, her husband just happened to be the pit master and needles to say, I somehow found us first in line for the first lamb of the day... oh the luck!

Oh, what fun we had. And remember this movie, well after being around many-a-greek, I know that it is funny because it is so true :)
