Glorious Glendi!


Wow, hard to believe it's been over a month since my last post! It's been a busy time! We've been to NY state (to the Cabin that belongs to Thom's daughter and family..) and out and about here in NH as well. Last weekend, I went to something called "Glendi", a local Greek Festival that is very popular! Of course the crafts, and displays were amazing, but it's alllll about the delicious food!! I sampled some Lamb Shanks, greek salad, and brought home spanikopita (spinach in phyllo pastry) for Thom. In honor of this, I'm passing along a yummy Greek Casserole recipe that was in the local paper this weekend. Going to try it this week!
