My SO and I went to the Raleigh Greek Festival for dinner last night. The music was a bit on the loud side, but it had a great party atmosphere, and of course the food was amazing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’m glad we finally got to go. I’ve been wanting to go to this festival for a number of years, but I could never get my schedule to align with it, or I would find out too late to plan anything. I’m also glad she wanted to go, too, because going to Raleigh is a bit of a drive for us.<\/p>\n

The pastitsio <\/em>was awesome, so was the spanikopita<\/em>. That was some of the best spanikopita <\/em>I’ve ever <\/strong>had, and I’ve had a lot. The lamb skewers were good, too.<\/p>\n

Our plan was simple: buy a bit of everything, and take it all home for leftovers the next day.<\/p>\n

We also tried some of the desserts, too: the donuts were really good (covered in honey, cinnamon, and a little brown sugar), and the galactaburos <\/em>was good, too. (I really wanted to cover that in dark chocolate, though.)<\/p>\n

There was a baklava <\/em>sundae that we also tried. It was a bit on the sweet side for me. Okay, it was nuclear sweet.<\/p>\n

It didn’t cost a whole lot more than going out to a nice restaurant, and we got two days’ worth of food out of it, so it’s a win-win kind of thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
