I am SO sure she would be happy to leave some at her door for you. call her Say "Christos Anesti" you will melt her heart.

Happy Orthodox Easter. First year that a ton of us Greeks aren’t getting together to eat lamb.

Christos Anesti!
It is too bad we can’t celebrate properly, but next year we will make up for it. Our Parish has been streaming services for a few weeks so that at least we can worship in our homes. Best wishes to all.

Christos Anesti !!

It was odd having last night's Easter services broadcast via Facebook live instead of being in Church.

My Yiayia and Papou are from the island of Patmos. Today, it will just be my Mom and I together and I don't have a single lamb recipe for only two people!

I ended up using my lamb prep and marinade for whole lamb souvia on just a leg that is going into the oven to roast.

Take care!!!
