OMG!
This individual olive loaf from Naousa's Tzepo's Bakery is to die from...which is why I can't look in the window when I walk by.

Maghiritsa (don't ask me what's in it!) after midnight services on Good Saturday!
This amazing soup is eaten to break the Lenten Fast...thank you Evangelia Thynori '70, who makes it for her family but won't eat it herself :)

Getting ready for Easter...
...at my corner Naousa chicken/egg store -- and when I buy a chicken for soup, the nice lady removes the fat and skins it for me!!!

Economical baked goods spectacular!
Also at open markets, where things are always cheaper -- especially around 1 pm when things are closing up and sales are always in full swing...

Economical seafood spectacular!
Weekly open air market in Thessaloniki (and everywhere in Greece) -- where you can buy kalamari, thrapsala (like kalamari, a bit bigger), gavros (great fried, eaten whole), fresh sardines and octopus. Where's the ouzo :)

Update!
Sorry that other projects prevented me from updating GreekFoodyTalk for over a year -- yikes! Will be bringing this blog up-to-date with at minimum photos of Greek dishes and captions, gearing up to my return next month to Naousa in Northern Greece where my father was born, where I now live 6 months a year (until I get my Greek passport) and where there are 20 wineries specializing in the indigenous Xinomavro grape -- Double Opa!
