Greek To Us, But Good Eats!

Last Saturday we finally got around to eating at the little Greek cafe on the corner of Bunce and Richland. It was great! I had a variety of things - a little taste of everything - and Joanne had a really great panini with roast turkey, smoked gouda, red peppers, onion, and baba ganoush. This last item is apparently a "grilled eggplant dip". I had some Mediterranean Penne Pasta, a dolemathe "stuffed grape leaf" (see picture at right, on the white plate), some falafel (see picture at right, in the clear bowl). And to put on the falafel, a kind of "paste" made of chopped olives of all varieties, mixed with some other stuff and in olive oil. It was by far my favorite thing, and was excellent on the falafel. Upon the suggestion of the owner, I took some home and mixed it with cream cheese and had it on wheat thins and pita chips. Wow, what great stuff! I took some over to Pete & Mel, so I am interested to hear what they thought of it.
