Boriana Celebrates her Birthday at Gardens!!

Boriana, a former employee and the designer of our new retail deli labels, celebrated her birthday with family and friends tonight. Unbeknownst to her, we had a Millefaiy--yes, that would be the Greek version of Millefeuille--we had the makings in our kitchen and layered it up. Daughter Sophia carried the platter, nearly her own size, with the lit pastry out to surprise her mom.

For her birthday, Kathryn invited her friend she had known since she was four and ordered her very own pan of Vegetarian Mousakas together with a couple bottles of Amethystos.

Symposia: A Series.

Arguably one of the best inventions of the ancient Greeks, the Symposia, (from "syn" and "pinein" literally "to drink together") involved drawn-out drinking and dining with entertainment and intellectual discussion. Relive this tradition at the Gardens of Salonica every third Wednesday of the month. Our first guest is Minnesotan Marilyn Jax, author of "Road to Omalos". Marilyn will speak about her book and sign your copies. Check out her website at www.marilynjax.com!

High School Graduation Open House: Personal Gyro Carver

Guess who sliced 30lb of Gyros for Steve Zeece III graduation? Lazaros! Yep, Steve had his own personal carver and the skies cooperated. No rain fell. Top photo Steve Zeece II, Steve Zeece III, Lazaros, and SZIII's mom, Amy. Build your own Gyros or Chicken Pitas, Pilafi and, of course, Greek Salad, with a bowl of Tzatziki that rivaled the swimming pool in girth, attracted the guests who could not help but focus on the food rather than the gray, threatening skies.

They Named the Rocks!

Westcott and Calder visited us tonight with their parents, long-time server, John, and Dena. After an appropriate amount of "good boy behavior" the two set out for their favorite rock pile--Zoran's "Table and Chairs" installation. The sun was casting its "Golden Hour" and, hey, who can resist two charming articulate boys, blasting their energy on a heap of inert stone? To wit they named them: "The Fish," The Saucer," "The Motorcycle," and "The Surfboard." There were any number of sequences, hop-scotch-like, with ensuing story lines....the night was young.
