08/04/09 - Opa! Greek Cuisine

Oh, yeah, updates! We decided to meet down in Tacoma, partly because we hadn't met that far south before, and partly because it guaranteed an appearance by Deleva's husband, Aaron. In addition to those two, we also had Anna, and, of course, Eric and me. We drew, and, as it happened, Deleva and Eric both chose Opa! Greek Cuisine, and conveniently enough, it got drawn.






It was a fairly small place, and didn't seem very busy. Then again, it's a Tuesday night. We got some pita and skordalia to start, but I was a bit too busy fighting for the very last bits to get any pictures.

Onto the entrees!


Lamb gyros - I believe everyone but Aaron and I ended up with them, and by all accounts, they were quite tasty.


A shrimp pasta dish with a tomato sauce, that Aaron was quite happy with.

I decided to be a bit more diverse, and got two appetizers instead of an entree.

This was basically a tiropita (like a spanikopita without spinach) with honey and grapes. The honey helped cut down on the salt of the cheese - I enjoyed this a lot.


Basically, gyro balls with tzatziki. They were fabulous.

Finally, the group shot:

It was great to see Aaron, and we look forward to next month's meeting. We'll be meeting in Everett (next week already! Sheesh!), so we hope to see you there!
