Sacramento Greek Festival

Dawn and I attended the 48th annual Sacramento Greek Festival on Saturday. :o) http://sacramentogreekfestival.com/


Noting for 2012: We tried stifado, moussaka, fasolakia, tiropita, dolmathes, pilafi, avgolemono soup and horiatiki salata plus dessert of kourambiedes, galaktobouriko, koulourakia, diples, yiaourtopita, and melomakarona, with drinks including Retsina (wine) and Greek coffee. ^__________________^


Retsina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retsina ; we drank a bottle (with two others) of the Retsina shown in the Wikipedia article, from Greek producer Kourtaki.


Felt greedy when I saw all the other foods we missed, like the gyros, kalimari, and so forth, but very happy I listened to my stomach's fullness sensors.


A vendor from "Sheet Guys" (http://sheetguys.com) told us he would give free shipping if we call him (his name was RT) and tell us we saw him at a Greek festival. He sells 1,500 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets.


The place was packed with people on a Saturday night around 6:30 p.m. We stayed until 9:30 p.m.
