It’s from Concorde Group Entertainment, which also runs Flames [...]]]> http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2010/05/01/calgary-opening-and-closing/feed/ 0 Eftikismenos o kenourisos kronos! http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2008/01/09/eftikismenos-o-kenourisos-kronos/ http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2008/01/09/eftikismenos-o-kenourisos-kronos/#comments Thu, 10 Jan 2008 05:26:05 +0000 are you gonna eat that? http://ugonnaeatthat.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/eftikismenos-o-kenourisos-kronos/

Christina’s mom made a gigantic vassilopita or Greek New Year’s bread as part of a fabulous dinner we were lucky enough to be invited to at their home.

The tradition in the Frangou house is for everyone to [...]]]> http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2008/01/09/eftikismenos-o-kenourisos-kronos/feed/ 1 Boxing day Greek-style http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2007/01/05/boxing-day-greek-style/ http://ugonnaeatthat.com/2007/01/05/boxing-day-greek-style/#comments Sat, 06 Jan 2007 03:30:44 +0000 are you gonna eat that? http://ugonnaeatthat.wordpress.com/2007/01/05/boxing-day-greek-style/

I love being adopted by my friends’ families, especially over the holidays. Funny enough, they like to feed me, and I happily oblige.

This year, Christina’s crazy, wonderful, gracious family invited us over for dinner on Boxing Day (that’s December 26 for all you non-Canadians). They’re Greek and put on a huge spread.

It’s a classic family-style restaurant where first dates and screaming kids would all feel comfortable. Though probably not next to each other.
