No Plates Were Harmed in the Making of this Greek Night

I love the flavors of Greek cuisine: feta cheese, rich olive oil, robust wines, lots of lemon, tomato and interesting spices. It's along the lines of Italian food and unless you're chomping on an Americanized gyro with fries, the food is super fresh and clean.

For weeks before Greek night, I prepared by creating a "Greek" Pandora station (which, despite calculated 'thumbs down' on my part, ended up playing mostly Spanish guitar music), researching Greek wines (we ended up with Italian) and texting my sister several times a day: FETA. I feel like this was pretty good preparation. Was the feast 100% authentic? 'Fraid not. Was it a ball? Absolutely!
