At 9:30 last night in Concord, you could still get a paper plate of baklava or syrup-drenched loukoumas, a glass of red wine, a lamb sandwich or some garlicky Greek potatoes. The band was still playing, and a loose circle of dancers, hands joined, were revolving around the floor. Someone was doing a brisk business in glow-stick light sabers, seen waving from the hand of every child under 10. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were tchotchkes for sale, carved wooden items, bits of painted pottery, t-shirts, the ubiquitous Zorba-style black fisherman's caps, but, judging by the vast sea of white plastic tables set up under the tent, food (and wine) was the point here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A whole lamb was roasting on a spit next to one booth, ready to be turned into plates of lamb, lamb sandwiches, lamb dinners with rice and salad. There were booths for fried calamari, for gyros, for souvlaki on a stick. Several bars offered a selection of Greek wines, along with a few local wines made by Greeks. Made from the Assyritko grape, the Hatziyiannis white wine from Santorini was beautifully golden, with notes of honeysuckle and peaches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The place to get the real deal, though, was inside, where the ladies of Philoptochos, the church's good-works organization, were earning their place in heaven by dishing out generous platefuls of roast lamb, moussaka, pastitsio (baked macaroni), baked chicken, stuffed eggplant, stuffed peppers, dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), green beans with tomato, and more. For under twenty bucks, we got a cup of feta cubes, a cup of kalamata olives, a hefty square of moussaka, cinnamon-scented ground beef layered with eggplant and potatoes under a thick layer of creamy bechamel sauce, some sesame bread, and an enormous lamb shank braised with tomato. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We cleaned up the moussaka, feta, and olives in no time; the lamb shank we picked at, then realized that what it really needed was to go home with us, destined to be the centerpiece of a thrown-together rainy-day soup. The next day, into the pot it went, with sauteed onions, celery, carrots, and garlic, some tomatoes from the garden, sage and thyme, some soaked and parboiled white beans, a few chunks of potato, a glug of wine and just enough water to cover. A long, slow simmer, and last night's dinner becomes tonight's, and probably tomorrow's, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we paid for our plate, I asked the woman making change if all the food was made here. Oh yes, she told me, they've been working for months, chopping, cooking, and freezing. It's the church's 32nd annual festival, and by now they've got it down. \"I call us the YaYa Sisterhood, you know, because \"yaya\" means grandmother in Greek,\" she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at the pastry stall, we hear the same thing: all volunteers, working for months. I ask the woman handing us our baklava and kataifi if she was one of the bakers. \"No, I'm a runner!\" she laughed. \"The bakers are these 85-year-old women. I call them 'the machines'--their hands move boom-boom-boom, so fast! Me, I run for them--I run to get the butter, I run to put the trays in the oven, I run to take them out. It's exhausting, but it's easier.\" She's working on her own baklava, though. First try, the nuts--too big. Second try--too small. So she's getting up her courage for round three, sure to be the charm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I don't know if my own baklava would pass the yaya test, but I can tell that there's nothing like freshly made baklava, made with lots of nuts, honey, and butter, the pastry crackling and shiny with syrup infused with cinnamon or orange. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best way to get the consistency of the nuts right is to chop them by hand, handful by handful, on a heavy cutting board with a big knife. You want them rough and nubbly, and even one pulse too many in the food processor will turn them to powder. If you don't already have a pastry brush, get one before you start. There's a lot of buttering that needs to happen, and while you could use your fingertips or the back of a spoon in a pinch, a pastry brush is neater and does a much more consistent job. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Baklava\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trick to getting the perfect balance of sticky and crisp (rather than stolid and soggy) is to have the syrup and pastry at opposite temperatures when they meet. Either pour hot syrup over cold pastry, or pour cold syrup over hot pastry. Let the syrup soak into the pastry for a few hours before serving. The baklava is best on the day it's made, but it will keep for a few days, if you can possibly resist it for that long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can find frozen phyllo dough in the freezer aisle of most supermarkets, usually next to the puff pastry and frozen cakes. Let it defrost a little before you use it. Unroll the sheets carefully, and always keep a clean, barely damp dishtowel draped over the sheets while you're using them, to keep them from drying out and becoming crackly and hard to use. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor pastry:\u003cbr>\n2 1/2 cups walnuts, almonds, and/or pistachios, or a combination, finely chopped\u003cbr>\n2 tablespoons sugar\u003cbr>\n2 tablespoons honey\u003cbr>\npinch salt\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>One\u003c/em> of the following flavorings: 1 tsp grated orange or lemon peel and 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of ground cloves; 1 teaspoon rosewater; 1 teaspoon orange-flower water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/2 lb phyllo dough (half a standard package)\u003cbr>\n1/2 cup butter, melted\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Syrup:\u003cbr>\n1/3 cup sugar\u003cbr>\n1/2 cup honey\u003cbr>\n2 tsp lemon juice\u003cbr>\n1/3 cup water\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>One\u003c/em> of the following flavorings: 1 tablespoon grated orange rind; 1 cinnamon stick; 1 tablespoon rosewater or orange-flower water\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nPreparation:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Preheat oven to 325F. Lightly grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. In a small bowl, mix nuts, honey, sugar, salt, and your choice of flavoring. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Unfold phyllo dough and trim into 8-by-8-inch squares. Spread a sheet over the bottom of the baking pan. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush sheet with melted butter. Repeat with 5 more sheets, lightly buttering each sheet before adding the next. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Spread half of the nut mixture over the top phyllo sheet in the pan. Top with another four sheets, lightly buttering each sheet before adding the next. Rewarm melted butter slightly if it gets too thick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Spread remaining nut mixture over the top phyllo sheet. Top with another 6 sheets, lightly buttering each sheet before adding the next. Lightly butter the top sheet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Using a sharp knife, make four equal vertical cuts (about 1 1/2 inches apart) through the top layer of pastry. Then, make eight equally-spaced diagonal cuts (about 1 inch apart) across these strips to form 18 diamond shapes. There will be a few triangular pieces left over along the edges --perfect for the cook to snack on before serving!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until pastry is crisp and pale golden. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. While pastry is baking, make the syrup. In a small, heavy-bottomed pan, bring sugar, honey, water, and lemon juice to a boil. Keep a close eye on it, as it will tend to froth and foam up. Add orange rind or cinnamon stick if using. Over low heat, simmer for 5 minutes until syrup has thickened slightly. Remove from heat. If using rosewater or orange-flower water, add now. Pour into a pitcher and let cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. When pastry is baked, pour cooled syrup over hot pastry. Alternately, let pastry cool to room temperature. Reheat syrup to almost boiling, then pour hot syrup over cooled pasty. You may not need all the syrup; you want the pastry to be glossy and sticky but not drowned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Following the previously made cuts, cut the pastry all the way through into diamonds. Let syrup soak in for at least 3 hours before serving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.stdemetrios.ca.goarch.org/festival.asp\">Contra Costa Festival of Greek Food & Wine\u003c/a> continues through Sunday at the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 1955 Kirker Pass Road, Concord, across from the Concord Pavilion.

At 9:30 last night in Concord, you could still get a paper plate of baklava or syrup-drenched loukoumas, a glass of red wine, a lamb sandwich or some garlicky Greek potatoes. The band was still playing, and a loose circle of dancers, hands joined, were revolving around the floor. Someone was doing a brisk business in glow-stick light sabers, seen waving from the hand of every child under 10. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were tchotchkes for sale, carved wooden items, bits of painted pottery, t-shirts, the ubiquitous Zorba-style black fisherman's caps, but, judging by the vast sea of white plastic tables set up under the tent, food (and wine) was the point here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A whole lamb was roasting on a spit next to one booth, ready to be turned into plates of lamb, lamb sandwiches, lamb dinners with rice and salad. There were booths for fried calamari, for gyros, for souvlaki on a stick. Several bars offered a selection of Greek wines, along with a few local wines made by Greeks. Made from the Assyritko grape, the Hatziyiannis white wine from Santorini was beautifully golden, with notes of honeysuckle and peaches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The place to get the real deal, though, was inside, where the ladies of Philoptochos, the church's good-works organization, were earning their place in heaven by dishing out generous platefuls of roast lamb, moussaka, pastitsio (baked macaroni), baked chicken, stuffed eggplant, stuffed peppers, dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), green beans with tomato, and more. For under twenty bucks, we got a cup of feta cubes, a cup of kalamata olives, a hefty square of moussaka, cinnamon-scented ground beef layered with eggplant and potatoes under a thick layer of creamy bechamel sauce, some sesame bread, and an enormous lamb shank braised with tomato. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We cleaned up the moussaka, feta, and olives in no time; the lamb shank we picked at, then realized that what it really needed was to go home with us, destined to be the centerpiece of a thrown-together rainy-day soup. The next day, into the pot it went, with sauteed onions, celery, carrots, and garlic, some tomatoes from the garden, sage and thyme, some soaked and parboiled white beans, a few chunks of potato, a glug of wine and just enough water to cover. A long, slow simmer, and last night's dinner becomes tonight's, and probably tomorrow's, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we paid for our plate, I asked the woman making change if all the food was made here. Oh yes, she told me, they've been working for months, chopping, cooking, and freezing. It's the church's 32nd annual festival, and by now they've got it down. \"I call us the YaYa Sisterhood, you know, because \"yaya\" means grandmother in Greek,\" she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over at the pastry stall, we hear the same thing: all volunteers, working for months. I ask the woman handing us our baklava and kataifi if she was one of the bakers. \"No, I'm a runner!\" she laughed. \"The bakers are these 85-year-old women. I call them 'the machines'--their hands move boom-boom-boom, so fast! Me, I run for them--I run to get the butter, I run to put the trays in the oven, I run to take them out. It's exhausting, but it's easier.\" She's working on her own baklava, though. First try, the nuts--too big. Second try--too small. So she's getting up her courage for round three, sure to be the charm. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, I don't know if my own baklava would pass the yaya test, but I can tell that there's nothing like freshly made baklava, made with lots of nuts, honey, and butter, the pastry crackling and shiny with syrup infused with cinnamon or orange. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best way to get the consistency of the nuts right is to chop them by hand, handful by handful, on a heavy cutting board with a big knife. You want them rough and nubbly, and even one pulse too many in the food processor will turn them to powder. If you don't already have a pastry brush, get one before you start. There's a lot of buttering that needs to happen, and while you could use your fingertips or the back of a spoon in a pinch, a pastry brush is neater and does a much more consistent job. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Baklava\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trick to getting the perfect balance of sticky and crisp (rather than stolid and soggy) is to have the syrup and pastry at opposite temperatures when they meet. Either pour hot syrup over cold pastry, or pour cold syrup over hot pastry. Let the syrup soak into the pastry for a few hours before serving. The baklava is best on the day it's made, but it will keep for a few days, if you can possibly resist it for that long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can find frozen phyllo dough in the freezer aisle of most supermarkets, usually next to the puff pastry and frozen cakes. Let it defrost a little before you use it. Unroll the sheets carefully, and always keep a clean, barely damp dishtowel draped over the sheets while you're using them, to keep them from drying out and becoming crackly and hard to use. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor pastry:\u003cbr>\n2 1/2 cups walnuts, almonds, and/or pistachios, or a combination, finely chopped\u003cbr>\n2 tablespoons sugar\u003cbr>\n2 tablespoons honey\u003cbr>\npinch salt\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>One\u003c/em> of the following flavorings: 1 tsp grated orange or lemon peel and 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of ground cloves; 1 teaspoon rosewater; 1 teaspoon orange-flower water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/2 lb phyllo dough (half a standard package)\u003cbr>\n1/2 cup butter, melted\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Syrup:\u003cbr>\n1/3 cup sugar\u003cbr>\n1/2 cup honey\u003cbr>\n2 tsp lemon juice\u003cbr>\n1/3 cup water\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>One\u003c/em> of the following flavorings: 1 tablespoon grated orange rind; 1 cinnamon stick; 1 tablespoon rosewater or orange-flower water\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nPreparation:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Preheat oven to 325F. Lightly grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. In a small bowl, mix nuts, honey, sugar, salt, and your choice of flavoring. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Unfold phyllo dough and trim into 8-by-8-inch squares. Spread a sheet over the bottom of the baking pan. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush sheet with melted butter. Repeat with 5 more sheets, lightly buttering each sheet before adding the next. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Spread half of the nut mixture over the top phyllo sheet in the pan. Top with another four sheets, lightly buttering each sheet before adding the next. Rewarm melted butter slightly if it gets too thick. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Spread remaining nut mixture over the top phyllo sheet. Top with another 6 sheets, lightly buttering each sheet before adding the next. Lightly butter the top sheet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Using a sharp knife, make four equal vertical cuts (about 1 1/2 inches apart) through the top layer of pastry. Then, make eight equally-spaced diagonal cuts (about 1 inch apart) across these strips to form 18 diamond shapes. There will be a few triangular pieces left over along the edges --perfect for the cook to snack on before serving!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until pastry is crisp and pale golden. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. While pastry is baking, make the syrup. In a small, heavy-bottomed pan, bring sugar, honey, water, and lemon juice to a boil. Keep a close eye on it, as it will tend to froth and foam up. Add orange rind or cinnamon stick if using. Over low heat, simmer for 5 minutes until syrup has thickened slightly. Remove from heat. If using rosewater or orange-flower water, add now. Pour into a pitcher and let cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. When pastry is baked, pour cooled syrup over hot pastry. Alternately, let pastry cool to room temperature. Reheat syrup to almost boiling, then pour hot syrup over cooled pasty. You may not need all the syrup; you want the pastry to be glossy and sticky but not drowned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Following the previously made cuts, cut the pastry all the way through into diamonds. Let syrup soak in for at least 3 hours before serving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.stdemetrios.ca.goarch.org/festival.asp\">Contra Costa Festival of Greek Food & Wine\u003c/a> continues through Sunday at the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 1955 Kirker Pass Road, Concord, across from the Concord Pavilion.

It would break the laws of \u003cem>philoxenia\u003c/em> (hospitality) or, worse-- it would break the heart of their dear, sainted \u003cem>yia-yias\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps that last statement was a little melodramatic, but it's the Greeks we're talking about here. I mean, they \u003cem>invented\u003c/em> drama. I can't say I blame them for overdoing it on the food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The odd thing I find about Greek people versus Greek food is that, where the Greeks themselves can be frequently over the top in their hand gestures, speaking voices, clothing and just about everything else, Greek food is refreshingly, wonderfully simple. It is what it is, which is often straightforward, fresh, and unadorned. And totally delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe they avoid high numbers of ingredients for any given dish because they know they're going to wind up cooking enough of it to feed Alexander the Great's army. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ah, those were the days. I can just hear an old Greek woman saying, \"Now \u003cem>there\u003c/em> was a great Greek man. Of course, he broke his mother's heart by not marrying a Greek girl and look what happened...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/Wooden-Spoon-in-Rice-Pudding.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/Wooden-Spoon-in-Rice-Pudding.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden Spoon in Rice Pudding\" title=\"Wooden Spoon in Rice Pudding\" width=\"285\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16018\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rizogalo\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greek rice pudding is just one of those delightfully straightforward, simple dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However simple it may be to make, it is not so simple for non-Greek people to pronounce. And I feel strongly that this dessert must be pronounced correctly before one should be allowed to eat it. Otherwise, one is just eating some rice pudding that any other culture might make. And then it wouldn't be Greek, so what would be the point?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It didn't take me long grasp the need to tackle the difficulties of mastering Greek pronunciation. In fact, it was this particular dessert that made me realize that, if I was going to be working in a Greek restaurant, I was going to have to start saying things correctly in order to be taken seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One evening as I delivered dessert menus to a sweet, elderly, Old Country Greek couple, I mentioned that our \u003cem>Ree\u003cstrong>-zo-Gah\u003c/strong>-low\u003c/em> was delicious. The woman blanched and said to me, \"You are not Greek!\" and then, took my arm and uttered the correct way to say it, pulling down as if to tear my limb from its socket at the correct moment of emphasis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"Ri-\u003cstrong>Zho\u003c/strong>-gha-loh!\"\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She then let go of my arm, ordered some Greek coffee and asked,\"If you are not Greek-- and you are \u003cem>not\u003c/em> Greek, where are your people from, because you look like you could be Greek.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, my dad's family is Sicilian,\" I answered, not wanting to explain that my father is, in fact, only half Sicilian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003cem>Sicilian?\u003c/em>\" she said as she looked at her husband. \"That's okay, isn't it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To which he replied, \"Una faccia, una razza.\" One face, one race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His wife beamed.

Add rice and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently (think of it as a very loose risotto-- you want to release the rice starch).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Temper your awaiting, lightly beaten egg yolks with some of the hot milk, then add the yolk/milk mixture to the simmering rice. Stir in sugar. Stir everything. Stir Crazy, for all I'm concerned. Continue to cook until the you can draw a line in the custardy sauce on the back of a wooden spoon (see: above photo). Add Vanilla extract. If you like your rice pudding loose and very creamy, stop cooking now. If you like it firmer and drier, continue to cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3.

After a full, hard day of sailing and gin-and-tonic drinking, we found ourselves extremely hungry, but without many dining options, thanks to our arriving very late in the season. By late September, a lot of Greek islanders tend to pack up their things and head for Athens to ride out the boredom of Winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near the top of a little hill above the harbor, we found a pleasant, brightly lit taverna, half-filled with what was left of the tourist trade and what was left of the locals. Perfect, we thought, and enough room to pull together a table for nine. As we looked over the menu posted in front of the entrance, my friend Gary noticed something in the distance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pointed to a bit of curling smoke that was coming from behind the scrubby, parched bushes several yards up the hill. I was intrigued, too. In my hunger-fueled imagination, those curls of smoke reached out to us with long, wispy cartoon fingers and pulled three of us by the nostrils further up the hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we found was another taverna-- dimly lit and much less crowded, unless one counts the two dozen or so cats roaming about, aggressively begging for food. We were greeted both by the smell of a whole lamb roasting-- unmanned-- over an open fire, and the shrill yell of a very tan, very blonde Greek woman. Her ire was cast in the direction of a very tan, very not-blond Greek boy. She pointed to the lamb as she yelled. He withered, made his way over to the rotisserie, and started to slowly turn the crank; sulking and looking at the lamb as though he felt it had fully deserved its death, but angered by the fact that he was the one chosen to carry out the disposal of its remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Oh, God. We \u003cem>have\u003c/em> to eat here,\" was what one of us said. It doesn't matter which of us, because it's what we were all thinking. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slow-roasted lamb and drama. It had all the delicious possibility of a dinner theatre specializing in Greek tragedy. We headed back to the other taverna to share our discovery. The rest of our crew were already seated and drinking, therefore unmoveable. They saw no reason on earth that they should pull themselves away from their beers and their sunset view, even if the sun might have been setting over the other side of the island. Their loss, I thought, as Gary, Bill, and I walked back to the cat-infested place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2009/09/639183404503_0_alb.jpg\" alt=\"Taverna Cats\" title=\"Taverna Cats\" width=\"334\" height=\"370\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7016\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apart from having to throw the occasional cat off the table, our dinner was marvelous. We dined off of the slow, grudgingly-roasted fruits of Greek child labor served over roasted potatoes with lemon and lamb drippings, grilled local octopus, and platter of little fried fish called \u003cem>athirina\u003c/em>, which nearly infested the harbor's waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2009/09/349183404503_0_alb.jpg\" alt=\"Athirina\" title=\"Athirina\" width=\"448\" height=\"332\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7017\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the fried fish that caught my attention. Where I work, we do the same thing with smelt-- dredging them in chickpea flour and frying them until crisp. Tossed with fresh lemon juice, salt, and parsley, we place a big pile of them on a blue plate (shaped like a fish, appropriately enough) and serve them with a big dollop of \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em> through which one might drag their little fried heads. When the blonde, big-lunged proprietress brought the fish to our table, they were accompanied solely by two wedges of lemon. leading to a profound sense of disappointment on my end. I had just assumed that they would come with that sharply garlicky dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>?\" I asked. I wanted to sound disappointed-- as though I had traveled 7,000 miles to come to this particular island, to sit among these particular semi-feral cats, to eat of this particular woman's famous garlic dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No, no \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>,\" she said. \"The people,\" she gesticulated with a sweep of her bronzed arms as though to suggest the other diners, both real and imagined, \"they do not like so much the garlic.\" I wondered if she was specifically referring to the older German couple we had earlier mistaken for an ancient sea captain and his long-suffering wife. I inwardly cast them as garlic-haters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, \u003cem>I\u003c/em> do. \u003cem>I\u003c/em> love \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>,\" I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You \u003cem>do\u003c/em>?\" Her eyes widened, she hunched over a bit in my direction, and with a big smile on her face said, \"Okay, I \u003cem>make\u003c/em> you some!\" She punched an index finger upwards as she said it, which added a nice visual exclamation mark to the end of that particular sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From our table, she dashed off into the kitchen, yelling something again to her child as she went. A couple minutes later, we could hear the whirring of a blender. We occupied ourselves in the meantime by elbowing cats from the table and off our laps. Shortly thereafter, the woman reappeared at our table with a bowl of fresh \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>. \"\u003cem>Kalisas orexi\u003c/em>!\" she said rather formally, wishing us good eating. And on that note, she turned on her heel and headed back inside with a noticeably lighter step and an audibly more gentle calling out to her child/slave. Or so it seemed to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were left with enough \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em> to drag a whole harbor's worth of fried fish through. I was worried that, if we didn't finish the whole thing, we might offend our hostess. No matter, really. I was delighted, she was delighted and, most of all, I think, those cats were delighted when we coated what was left of that pile of fish in gobs of skordalia and threw bits into the shrubbery for them to fight over when no one was looking. Everybody was happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, I make \u003cem>you\u003c/em> some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Skordalia with Roasted Beets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Serves 2 to 4 people, 20 to 40 cats.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since I was too lazy to trawl San Francisco Bay for small, edible fish, I did the next best thing, which was trawl the Tuesday farmer's market for small, edible beets, which are conveniently in season and-- even more conveniently-- traditionally served with skordalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2009/09/beets-with-skordalia.jpg\" alt=\"beets-with-skordalia\" title=\"beets-with-skordalia\" width=\"262\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7018\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the skordalia:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 1 pound of Russet potatoes, well scrubbed\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt, plus a scant handful for the potato water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8 to 10 cloves of garlic, minced\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 cup blanched almonds, whole or slivers\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Use Greek to keep in theme.

On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss beets in oil, salt, and cinnamon, making sure they are all well-coated. Place beets on the middle rack of an oven that has been pre-heated to 350 F. Roast until tender, which will depend upon the size of your beets. These took about 35 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. While beets are roasting, place potatoes is a large pot of generously salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender (when a knife blade slips easily into the center of one).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. While the beets are roasting and the potatoes boiling, combine garlic and almonds in a food processor, slowly adding 1/2 cup of olive oil as you go. Since one is not making an emulsion, one need not worry about pouring to quickly or too slowly. Just blend until a smooth consistency is achieved. Set aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Reserving 1/2 cup of the potato water, drain the potatoes. Let cool for a few moments, then rubs them free of their jackets in a clean towel. Roughly chop the potatoes and press them through a potato ricer or mash them manually. Do not, however, try to blend them in your food processor or they will get all gummy. Rice them into a large, clean bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Add the garlic/almond mixture to the potatoes while the potatoes are still warm and combine; adding the lemon juice, potato water, salt, and vinegar as you go. Add pepper and more salt, if necessary, to taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congratulations-- you now have your very own \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Remove beets from the oven when tender. Let stand a few minutes to cool slightly, then peel and cut to whatever size you desire them to be. Return the beets to the olive oil/salt/cinnamon-dirtied sheet pan and coat them once again in that particular goop. Add a touch more salt and cinnamon, if desired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. To serve, spoon a heaping tablespoon or so of skordalia onto a small plate or other serving dish, using to back of the spoon to then \"frost\" the plate with a layer of the stuff. Place beets (best if slightly warm, but just swell in a cooler state) over the top. Garnish if you wish, yell at a small child if one is in the vicinity, and serve.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"\u003cem>Skordalia\u003c/em>. Skor-dahl-\u003cem>YA\u003c/em>.

Their loss, I thought, as Gary, Bill, and I walked back to the cat-infested place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2009/09/639183404503_0_alb.jpg\" alt=\"Taverna Cats\" title=\"Taverna Cats\" width=\"334\" height=\"370\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7016\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apart from having to throw the occasional cat off the table, our dinner was marvelous. We dined off of the slow, grudgingly-roasted fruits of Greek child labor served over roasted potatoes with lemon and lamb drippings, grilled local octopus, and platter of little fried fish called \u003cem>athirina\u003c/em>, which nearly infested the harbor's waters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2009/09/349183404503_0_alb.jpg\" alt=\"Athirina\" title=\"Athirina\" width=\"448\" height=\"332\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7017\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the fried fish that caught my attention. Where I work, we do the same thing with smelt-- dredging them in chickpea flour and frying them until crisp. Tossed with fresh lemon juice, salt, and parsley, we place a big pile of them on a blue plate (shaped like a fish, appropriately enough) and serve them with a big dollop of \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em> through which one might drag their little fried heads. When the blonde, big-lunged proprietress brought the fish to our table, they were accompanied solely by two wedges of lemon. leading to a profound sense of disappointment on my end. I had just assumed that they would come with that sharply garlicky dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>?\" I asked. I wanted to sound disappointed-- as though I had traveled 7,000 miles to come to this particular island, to sit among these particular semi-feral cats, to eat of this particular woman's famous garlic dip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No, no \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>,\" she said. \"The people,\" she gesticulated with a sweep of her bronzed arms as though to suggest the other diners, both real and imagined, \"they do not like so much the garlic.\" I wondered if she was specifically referring to the older German couple we had earlier mistaken for an ancient sea captain and his long-suffering wife. I inwardly cast them as garlic-haters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, \u003cem>I\u003c/em> do. \u003cem>I\u003c/em> love \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>,\" I said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You \u003cem>do\u003c/em>?\" Her eyes widened, she hunched over a bit in my direction, and with a big smile on her face said, \"Okay, I \u003cem>make\u003c/em> you some!\" She punched an index finger upwards as she said it, which added a nice visual exclamation mark to the end of that particular sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From our table, she dashed off into the kitchen, yelling something again to her child as she went. A couple minutes later, we could hear the whirring of a blender. We occupied ourselves in the meantime by elbowing cats from the table and off our laps. Shortly thereafter, the woman reappeared at our table with a bowl of fresh \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>. \"\u003cem>Kalisas orexi\u003c/em>!\" she said rather formally, wishing us good eating. And on that note, she turned on her heel and headed back inside with a noticeably lighter step and an audibly more gentle calling out to her child/slave. Or so it seemed to me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were left with enough \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em> to drag a whole harbor's worth of fried fish through. I was worried that, if we didn't finish the whole thing, we might offend our hostess. No matter, really. I was delighted, she was delighted and, most of all, I think, those cats were delighted when we coated what was left of that pile of fish in gobs of skordalia and threw bits into the shrubbery for them to fight over when no one was looking. Everybody was happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, I make \u003cem>you\u003c/em> some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Skordalia with Roasted Beets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Serves 2 to 4 people, 20 to 40 cats.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since I was too lazy to trawl San Francisco Bay for small, edible fish, I did the next best thing, which was trawl the Tuesday farmer's market for small, edible beets, which are conveniently in season and-- even more conveniently-- traditionally served with skordalia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2009/09/beets-with-skordalia.jpg\" alt=\"beets-with-skordalia\" title=\"beets-with-skordalia\" width=\"262\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7018\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>For the skordalia:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 1 pound of Russet potatoes, well scrubbed\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt, plus a scant handful for the potato water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8 to 10 cloves of garlic, minced\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 cup blanched almonds, whole or slivers\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil.

On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss beets in oil, salt, and cinnamon, making sure they are all well-coated. Place beets on the middle rack of an oven that has been pre-heated to 350 F. Roast until tender, which will depend upon the size of your beets. These took about 35 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. While beets are roasting, place potatoes is a large pot of generously salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender (when a knife blade slips easily into the center of one).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. While the beets are roasting and the potatoes boiling, combine garlic and almonds in a food processor, slowly adding 1/2 cup of olive oil as you go. Since one is not making an emulsion, one need not worry about pouring to quickly or too slowly. Just blend until a smooth consistency is achieved. Set aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Reserving 1/2 cup of the potato water, drain the potatoes. Let cool for a few moments, then rubs them free of their jackets in a clean towel. Roughly chop the potatoes and press them through a potato ricer or mash them manually. Do not, however, try to blend them in your food processor or they will get all gummy. Rice them into a large, clean bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Add the garlic/almond mixture to the potatoes while the potatoes are still warm and combine; adding the lemon juice, potato water, salt, and vinegar as you go. Add pepper and more salt, if necessary, to taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congratulations-- you now have your very own \u003cem>skordalia\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Remove beets from the oven when tender. Let stand a few minutes to cool slightly, then peel and cut to whatever size you desire them to be. Return the beets to the olive oil/salt/cinnamon-dirtied sheet pan and coat them once again in that particular goop.

No wonder we are required to give a little tour of the dip platters whenever we deliver them to our guests. Sometimes, I have to describe them three times to the same two people. I don't mind really, it's simply a part of what I do. And please notice that nowhere in this paragraph (except here) have I mentioned our delectable \u003cem>hummus\u003c/em>. Why? \u003cstrong>BECAUSE WE DO NOT SERVE HUMMUS\u003c/strong>, that's why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can understand the confusion. Both \u003cem>favosalata\u003c/em> and \u003cem>hummus\u003c/em> are made from legumes cooked with water and garlic. Both have olive oil and lemon juice. They are near neighbors on the yellowish end of the color spectrum. They do not, however, taste anything alike. Really. And, though \u003cem>hummus\u003c/em> can be found in many a Greek restaurant, we choose not to serve it. I sometimes like to tell non-Greek people that hummus is a politically sensitive dish; that it makes some Greek people feel oppressed, since it is a recipe that has Ottoman Empire written all over it. Then again, the Greeks love their baklava and coffee, which were also introduced by the Turks, so there you have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favosalata\u003c/em> is itself confusing. The name of the dish would rightly lead one to think that this is a dish made from fresh or dried fava beans. In some cases, a favosalata can be exactly that-- a beautiful, vibrant green purée of fresh favas, with olive oil, a hint of feta, and fresh mint. This particular dish, however, is made from yellow split peas. Ideally, yellow split peas from the island of Thira (aka Santorini), where it is somewhat of a specialty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cannot be absolutely sure, but I am fairly certain that there are different recipes using different beans for this dish, and that someone out there in the blogoshpere, more than likely Greek, is going to tell me that this isn't the way they learned to make this dish. Well, \u003cem>gia sou\u003c/em>, baby, bring it on. I'd love to hear about it. Seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mean time, this is the \u003cdel datetime=\"2009-09-03T22:35:34+00:00\">hummus\u003c/del> favosalata recipe I'm sticking to. Enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Favosalata\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sometimes call this my Friday-with-a-martini dip. Served slightly warm and liberally sprinkled with caper, onion, fresh lemon, and olive oil, it plays nicely with cold, cold gin. Scoop it up with pita, crackers, crusty bread, a spoon, your fingers, whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like a lot of things in cooking, this is a pretty elastic recipe. The measurement of ingredients is merely suggestive, not final. Want a your dip tangier? Add more lemon and vinegar. Saltier? Go for it. The key is the consistency of the peas. If you undercook them, the result will be unpleasant, if you overcook them, you've got mush. If forced to choose between the two, I would err towards the mush-end of the spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes about 4 cups\u003c/strong>, which serves about one in my house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 pound yellow split peas (about three cups)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6 cloves of garlic, peeled and left whole\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6 cups cold water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 cup white wine (Optional. If using, subtract one cup of water.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The juice of three lemons\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 tablespoons finely grated red onion\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A liberal amount of salt, kosher or sea salt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thinly sliced red onion, for garnish\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Capers, also for garnish\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. In a medium-sized sauce pan or dutch oven (my preference), add split peas, water (and wine, if using), and a good dose of salt. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer until the peas are tender. I repeat: undercooking them will lead to an unappetizing texture; overcooking them will take you all the way to split pea soup, which certainly does not spell the end of the world, simply the end of this recipe. Cooking time: about 35 to 40 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. When peas are done, remove from heat and strain into a cheesecloth-lined colander and gently strain, removing as much of the liquid as possible. Place the peas (along with the garlic they were cooked with) into a food processor or blender while still warm. Add the grated onion, lemon juice, and vinegar. Blend while drizzling in the olive oil. Note: you are not emulsifying the oil with anything, it is merely adding texture and flavor. Stop when the desired texture is reached, which is somewhere in the vicinity of smooth mashed potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Place desired serving amount in desired serving vessel, sprinkle with capers and sliced red onion, drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and serve warm to those whom you desire to serve.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"I don't care what you say, this is not \u003cem>hummus\u003c/em>.

Then again, the Greeks love their baklava and coffee, which were also introduced by the Turks, so there you have it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Favosalata\u003c/em> is itself confusing. The name of the dish would rightly lead one to think that this is a dish made from fresh or dried fava beans. In some cases, a favosalata can be exactly that-- a beautiful, vibrant green purée of fresh favas, with olive oil, a hint of feta, and fresh mint. This particular dish, however, is made from yellow split peas. Ideally, yellow split peas from the island of Thira (aka Santorini), where it is somewhat of a specialty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cannot be absolutely sure, but I am fairly certain that there are different recipes using different beans for this dish, and that someone out there in the blogoshpere, more than likely Greek, is going to tell me that this isn't the way they learned to make this dish. Well, \u003cem>gia sou\u003c/em>, baby, bring it on. I'd love to hear about it. Seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mean time, this is the \u003cdel datetime=\"2009-09-03T22:35:34+00:00\">hummus\u003c/del> favosalata recipe I'm sticking to. Enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Favosalata\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sometimes call this my Friday-with-a-martini dip. Served slightly warm and liberally sprinkled with caper, onion, fresh lemon, and olive oil, it plays nicely with cold, cold gin. Scoop it up with pita, crackers, crusty bread, a spoon, your fingers, whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like a lot of things in cooking, this is a pretty elastic recipe. The measurement of ingredients is merely suggestive, not final. Want a your dip tangier? Add more lemon and vinegar. Saltier? Go for it. The key is the consistency of the peas. If you undercook them, the result will be unpleasant, if you overcook them, you've got mush. If forced to choose between the two, I would err towards the mush-end of the spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes about 4 cups\u003c/strong>, which serves about one in my house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 pound yellow split peas (about three cups)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6 cloves of garlic, peeled and left whole\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6 cups cold water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 cup white wine (Optional.

In a medium-sized sauce pan or dutch oven (my preference), add split peas, water (and wine, if using), and a good dose of salt. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer until the peas are tender. I repeat: undercooking them will lead to an unappetizing texture; overcooking them will take you all the way to split pea soup, which certainly does not spell the end of the world, simply the end of this recipe. Cooking time: about 35 to 40 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. When peas are done, remove from heat and strain into a cheesecloth-lined colander and gently strain, removing as much of the liquid as possible. Place the peas (along with the garlic they were cooked with) into a food processor or blender while still warm. Add the grated onion, lemon juice, and vinegar. Blend while drizzling in the olive oil. Note: you are not emulsifying the oil with anything, it is merely adding texture and flavor. Stop when the desired texture is reached, which is somewhere in the vicinity of smooth mashed potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3.

The last time this happened was 2004. It will happen again in 2010. That date sounds marvelously futuristic. 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a child, I loved Easter-- it meant candy, cannoli, watching Judy Garland and Ann Miller and, quite possibly, money. My family's Easter rituals were nearly interchangeable with our \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/2006/11/hold-pie-pass-cannoli.jsp#links\">Thanksgiving ones\u003c/a>. We just traded in the turkey for a ham and wore brighter colors. Of course, there was one notable, Easter-specific activity...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Easter Egg Hunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a certain lack of enthusiasm for the hunt at my house. My brother and sister were much older than I and, therefore, largely bored by it. While Betty Ford was busying herself on the South Lawn showing children how to roll Easter Eggs, the only things rolling at my house were the jaded eyes of my siblings. At least they were kind enough to humor me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday night was spent breaking out the Paas egg dyeing kit, creating two-toned eggs and trying to somehow work the accompanying decals onto the eggs without tearing them. My brother sometimes attempted to create narrative tension on the surface of his eggs, which is a challenge when pastel colors and bunnies are involved. I believe one year my sister dyed one egg blue and painted the original movie poster from Jaws onto it. If anyone could make an Easter egg look menacing, it would have to be my sister. Once finished, we would admire our handiwork until the nausea induced by the acrid smell of the Heinz white wine vinegar wafting up from the egg dyeing cups finally drove us away. And then, at some point during my sleeping hours, the eggs would go into hiding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I never really understood why the eggs felt the need to hide themselves-- it's not as though anyone in my family really enjoyed eating hard boiled eggs. They were in no real danger. I would have preferred to decorate my bookshelf with them or plant one in the back yard and pray that something interesting grew from it. Perhaps they were afraid of being buried alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they hid. Usually in the same places every year. One always found its way into the piano bench, another in the chandelier which I could never quite reach. We always made an even dozen. When ten or so were found, the already low level of enthusiasm would wane. My mother always stepped into the Judas role, betraying the hiding place of one of the eggs. Eventually, one hiding under the living room sofa or concealed in a recycled Country Crock margarine container would betray itself by its own putrefaction. Usually sometime in May. Or June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, thanks to my new-found interest in things Greek (or, at least, my interest in one particular Canadian of Greek descent), I am embracing the Greek Easter egg. I made a dozen of them yesterday. Why I keep making an even dozen, I'll never know. I suppose it would be more correct to make thirteen, since there were thirteen people present at the Last Supper and that, it would seem, is what got this whole Easter ball --or egg--rolling. Remind me to do that next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/uploaded_images/poopegg.thumbnail-768401.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/uploaded_images/poopegg.thumbnail-768355.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traditions involving the Greek Easter egg are much different from our own, and much more no-nonsense than, say, the Russians'. The Russian Easter egg is far too expensive to be produced yearly, but they are a good investment if you have the money. The Greeks don't bother to hide their eggs. Why hide food you know you're going to eat later? Unless, of course, one is re-enacting an historical event and therefore hiding it from the Turks or the Germans. No, they just dye them blood red and put them in the middle of their dinner table. There's more to it than that, of course. There's a power game involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What to do when confronted with a Greek Easter egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Show no fear. This egg will most likely be presented to you by a Greek person. They can smell fear almost as well as they can smell lamb or a bargain. Just keep calm, smile and say \"Kalo Pascha.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>This egg now in your possession will be given to you after a dinner of spit-roasted lamb and many glasses of wine or ouzo. Take it and partake in a symbolic and faintly violent game of egg smashing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One person will turn to another participant seated next to him and say something in Greek. The other person will respond, also in Greek, and they will smash the pointed ends of their respective eggs together. The participant whose egg emerges uncracked moves on to his next victim.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If that next victim is you, he will say to you \"Christos Anesti!\" (Christ is risen!) to which you must respond, \"Alithos Anesti!\" (He is truly risen!\") and smash your egg into his.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you are victorious, repeat this process until all eggs except one are cracked. If that egg is yours, it means that Jesus likes you better than anyone else in the room and that you will have good luck throughout the year.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>What it all means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The red coloring of the eggs represents the Blood of Christ to the Greeks. I just happen to think they are highly attractive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cracking of the egg symbolizes Christ breaking out of his tomb as he rises from the dead. If this is true, then I don't really understand why the person with the uncracked egg is favored. If there is a crack anywhere, in my opinion, it is in the logic of this game. Perhaps the others are simply masking their grief for the damned soul of someone who is now certain never rise to heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you decide to play the game but are somewhat uncomfortable with so much Jesus talk, you might try substituting your own ritual call-and-response during the game. Something non-religious, yet still meaningful. One person shouting out a love for corduroy while his challenger announces his preference for suede is one such suggestion. I find the Greek tradition of being in such strong verbal agreement with each other while engaging in such aggressive behavior unconvincing and lacking in any real dramatic tension. I suppose if the first person shouted out the usual \"Christ is risen!\" and the second person responded \"Actually, I think he's still napping\" or \"Christ was a Turk\", there might be some tension.

I read the badly translated instructions off the back of a Greek Easter egg dye package, which called for a cold dyeing. I was unwilling to go out and buy more eggs and dye them properly. I already have more hard boiled eggs than I know what to do with. As a result, my eggs look more like the pocked surface of Mars than the pure life force of a Savior whose blood is said to have come directly from King David on his Mother's side and, well, whatever flows through His Father's side of the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a better recipe:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ingredients:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>12 uncooked eggs\u003cbr>Water\u003cbr>3/4 cup white wine vinegar\u003cbr>1 package of Greek Easter egg dye\u003cbr>Olive oil\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preparation:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Carefully wash and dry each egg (I missed this part, so it must be important).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Set a large pot of water to boil.

We just traded in the turkey for a ham and wore brighter colors. Of course, there was one notable, Easter-specific activity...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Easter Egg Hunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a certain lack of enthusiasm for the hunt at my house. My brother and sister were much older than I and, therefore, largely bored by it. While Betty Ford was busying herself on the South Lawn showing children how to roll Easter Eggs, the only things rolling at my house were the jaded eyes of my siblings. At least they were kind enough to humor me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday night was spent breaking out the Paas egg dyeing kit, creating two-toned eggs and trying to somehow work the accompanying decals onto the eggs without tearing them. My brother sometimes attempted to create narrative tension on the surface of his eggs, which is a challenge when pastel colors and bunnies are involved. I believe one year my sister dyed one egg blue and painted the original movie poster from Jaws onto it. If anyone could make an Easter egg look menacing, it would have to be my sister. Once finished, we would admire our handiwork until the nausea induced by the acrid smell of the Heinz white wine vinegar wafting up from the egg dyeing cups finally drove us away. And then, at some point during my sleeping hours, the eggs would go into hiding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I never really understood why the eggs felt the need to hide themselves-- it's not as though anyone in my family really enjoyed eating hard boiled eggs. They were in no real danger. I would have preferred to decorate my bookshelf with them or plant one in the back yard and pray that something interesting grew from it. Perhaps they were afraid of being buried alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they hid. Usually in the same places every year. One always found its way into the piano bench, another in the chandelier which I could never quite reach. We always made an even dozen. When ten or so were found, the already low level of enthusiasm would wane. My mother always stepped into the Judas role, betraying the hiding place of one of the eggs. Eventually, one hiding under the living room sofa or concealed in a recycled Country Crock margarine container would betray itself by its own putrefaction. Usually sometime in May. Or June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, thanks to my new-found interest in things Greek (or, at least, my interest in one particular Canadian of Greek descent), I am embracing the Greek Easter egg. I made a dozen of them yesterday. Why I keep making an even dozen, I'll never know. I suppose it would be more correct to make thirteen, since there were thirteen people present at the Last Supper and that, it would seem, is what got this whole Easter ball --or egg--rolling. Remind me to do that next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/uploaded_images/poopegg.thumbnail-768401.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/uploaded_images/poopegg.thumbnail-768355.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traditions involving the Greek Easter egg are much different from our own, and much more no-nonsense than, say, the Russians'. The Russian Easter egg is far too expensive to be produced yearly, but they are a good investment if you have the money. The Greeks don't bother to hide their eggs. Why hide food you know you're going to eat later? Unless, of course, one is re-enacting an historical event and therefore hiding it from the Turks or the Germans. No, they just dye them blood red and put them in the middle of their dinner table. There's more to it than that, of course. There's a power game involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What to do when confronted with a Greek Easter egg.\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Show no fear. This egg will most likely be presented to you by a Greek person. They can smell fear almost as well as they can smell lamb or a bargain. Just keep calm, smile and say \"Kalo Pascha.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>This egg now in your possession will be given to you after a dinner of spit-roasted lamb and many glasses of wine or ouzo. Take it and partake in a symbolic and faintly violent game of egg smashing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One person will turn to another participant seated next to him and say something in Greek. The other person will respond, also in Greek, and they will smash the pointed ends of their respective eggs together. The participant whose egg emerges uncracked moves on to his next victim.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If that next victim is you, he will say to you \"Christos Anesti!\" (Christ is risen!) to which you must respond, \"Alithos Anesti!\" (He is truly risen!\") and smash your egg into his.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you are victorious, repeat this process until all eggs except one are cracked. If that egg is yours, it means that Jesus likes you better than anyone else in the room and that you will have good luck throughout the year.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>What it all means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The red coloring of the eggs represents the Blood of Christ to the Greeks. I just happen to think they are highly attractive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cracking of the egg symbolizes Christ breaking out of his tomb as he rises from the dead. If this is true, then I don't really understand why the person with the uncracked egg is favored. If there is a crack anywhere, in my opinion, it is in the logic of this game. Perhaps the others are simply masking their grief for the damned soul of someone who is now certain never rise to heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you decide to play the game but are somewhat uncomfortable with so much Jesus talk, you might try substituting your own ritual call-and-response during the game. Something non-religious, yet still meaningful. One person shouting out a love for corduroy while his challenger announces his preference for suede is one such suggestion. I find the Greek tradition of being in such strong verbal agreement with each other while engaging in such aggressive behavior unconvincing and lacking in any real dramatic tension. I suppose if the first person shouted out the usual \"Christ is risen!\" and the second person responded \"Actually, I think he's still napping\" or \"Christ was a Turk\", there might be some tension.
