Baa does Greek Easter

Namaste and Happy Greek Easter from Baa, I’m back!

Loki went on a new adventure and decided to celebrate Greek Easter by craving the great Greek foods she knew and loved. First, she made her second version of her favorite Greek dish, Spanakopita.  This new recipe called for eggs.  Yikes, a dilemma.  She is such an adventurous soul, she went with the new Greek recipe.  She learned a great deal for next time.

So today, it was in her mind to get Greek Easter “cookies”.  She has always been blessed with knowing and loving Greek peoples.  Thus, her desire for their foods on holidays.  Remember, she has NO Greek lineages whatsoever.

She called several up-scale bakeries in the area of our home called Sanctuary in Clarksville, Maryland.   She learned that only a few , not “local enough”, sold Greek Easter Biscuits.  What are they called, I heard her say.  Biscuits??  Oh well, they really are called Koulourakia Lambriatika.  Then she told the gentleperson on the phone she wanted 3 dozen Biscuits.  Then he told her it would cost $17 per dozen.  Yikes.  Then she went to the store.  Only thing she needed was the Brandy.

After lots of hard work and tons of “not so healthy stuff” she had her project underway. Lots of re-reading & talking out loud but she seemed happy in her heart.  I personally DO NOT DO STRESS at all. But she needed my support.  So, naturally, I stayed.

The end results were terrific.  Even I could tell she had “nailed it”.  My words, not hers.

So, “it just goes to show you” that with love in her heart of hearts, Loki truly did get to be Greek for a little while.  The wine and the Greek music made it magic to observe.
