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.

Getting ready for Easter...

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!
