The Greek financial crisis has no effect on food tastiness…

My good friend and psuedotwin Grishma decided to take on an “Olympic-sized” endeavor for her mother’s birthday. (I’m full of puns today. It’s probably good that I didn’t write this post.)

She wrote a guest blog post for me!

----------------------------------------

Because we’re twins, Nidhi decided I should write a guest blog post. So, to all her regular followers, here goes nothing…

It was my mom’s birthday today, so my brother and I decided to be all worldly and cook her a Greek dinner.

Issue #1: I’m not sure my mom even knows exactly what constitutes Greek cuisine.

Issue #2: I’m not sure I can cook Greek food without messing it up.

But, since it was rainy and frigid in Michigan (in the middle of MAY!), and I had nothing to do, I experimented in the kitchen… I think the dishes turned out decently.

Greek Salad (crap, I forgot the olives!)

Fried Zucchini (courtesy of Shlok, my brother… also, sorry for the blurry picture.)

Tzatziki dip with pita crisps (tasty, albeit slightly burnt…)

Spanakopita (what’s with the blurry pictures?!)

…and, for dessert, baklava! (I halved the amount of honey and sugar in the recipe and it was STILL too sweet!)

And, that’s about it. That’s my guest blog post, because that’s what twins do. Thanks for bearing with my writing (I’m a science student for a reason). Nidhi’s posts are way more interesting.

Doesn’t that dinner look blurrily yummy? I already ate dinner but now I’m salivating…Thanks a lot, twinny!!
