Festivals 2011

With the weather getting cooler and a whole lot more bearable - there have been festivals all over town.  Several of them are just down the street from Evan's apartment.  

First was the Greek Festival which is one of the most popular festivals in Houston.  Last year they sold 37,000 shish kabobs!  That's a lot of kabobs! Evan and I met a couple Greek friends of mine and we divided and conquered the festival.  Each person was responsible for getting one item- then we met in the middle and tried everything.  The giros were classically delicious, the Ethos wine was splendidly yummy, and the grape leaf wrapped lamp.....mmmmmmmmm!!!!!

Then it was Italian Festival time!  You could smell the food wafting over to Evan's apartment and we had a fun night walking around the booths and food venues sampling pizza margarita, fried artichoke hearts and sardine focacia bread.  Of course we ended the night with a small scoop of strawberry gellato.
