Now *that* sounds like something I'd like (but I pretty much like *all* Greek food).

We pass an Orthodox church all the time (it's really close to the Rutgers football stadium).
Last week it was so busy, they had a policman directing traffic into their parking lot...this week, I'm sure it'll be even busier.

I went to high school with a lot of Russian Orthodox kids and it was always interesting to me that their holidays were on slightly different dates than Catholic and Protestant holidays.

Have a nice holiday, Mike! (plus anyone else here who this may apply to).

Awesome sight at the Greek Orthodox Church last night...about 300 people outside with candles. Happy Easter!

Does this mean the snow is finally going to stop?

The best restaurants have Greek chefs! Man, can those guys cook! I love Greek food also! Don't get much of it around Myrtle Beach and none of it out here in the sticks where I live.
