Let's be honest. The thing I am looking forward to MOST on my trip to Europe is not the fact that I will be meeting lots of interesting people. It's not the fact that I will be seeing many beautiful sights. The number one thing I am most excited about is all the delicious food I will be eating. I know, Jenny Craig will not be happy with me, but screw it, I'm on vacation! Pizza, gelato, fresh seafood, and my favourite- Greek food. Souvlaki, tzatziki, feta...my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
I love Greek food so much, in fact, that I couldn't wait the few weeks until I actually made it to Greece. So this evening I headed to the Danforth (the Greek area of Toronto) with some of my girlfriends for dinner. I definitely INDULGED tonight (I gotta work extra hard at the gym tomorrow!) but it was worth it! If you want amazing Greek food and you don't have the luxury of actually going to Greece like I do, then go to Astoria on the Danforth!!! (I swear, they are not paying me to promote the restaurant, but I tell EVERYONE about them!) I ordered the souvlaki like I always do, and we also tried "Greek Fries" as an appetizer. I'm not sure how "authentic" it is, but it was delicious! It's like a Greek twist on a poutine- fries, tomato sauce, feta and oregano!
Besides the food, I am also looking forward to the WINE! (haha look where my priorities are!) There are soooo many great wineries in France and Italy that I hope to take at least one wine tour when I'm there. I never used to be a big wine drinker, but after living in BC for a year, I'm hooked! That's all they drink out there! And don't worry guys- I know you'll be missing out on all this delicious food and wine, but I'll eat and drink enough for all of you!
Love, Dianna
