Late lunch / early dinner was a friend’s family’s Greek Easter celebration which was a FEAST.
Spit-roasted lamb (perfectly tender and delicious), cheese pie, spinach pie (made with homemade phyllo), a big salad, roasted baby potatoes, stuffed pasta, pita, tzatziki, and some more things I’m forgetting because my plate was already piled precariously high.
When we were too stuffed to eat any more, we lingered at the table and chatted while the food settled so dessert could be done justice. (Half the family apparently took a nap while “watching tv” during this phase 
).
The nappers stumbled back in looking for a caffeine fix, so coffee was made, and then dessert put out - this was a WHOLE second meal. Ekmek (kataifi topped with custard and cream), chocolate mousse cheesecake, profiteroles, fresh fruit, koulourakia cookies, and some more things I’m forgetting because… yup, plate was too full.
We rolled back home with leftovers (there were special containers for this purpose) because of course we’d be hungry later, right?
I love moms, and family holiday celebrations
