OPA!!

It was a perfect day for a "Greek" marathon, (My Life in Ruins, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1 & 2) served with the finest (straight from Greece) Trader Joe's and Santorini's cuisine!

"Give me a word, any word, and I show you that the root of that word is Greek."

"The only other people we know are Greeks, 'cause Greeks marry Greeks to breed more Greeks, to be loud breeding Greek eaters."

"If nagging were an Olympic sport, my Aunt Voula would win a gold medal!"

"There are two kinds of people - Greeks, and everyone else who wish they was Greek."

"My dad believed in two things: That Greeks should educate non Greeks about being Greek and every ailment from psoriasis to poison ivy can be cured with Windex."

National Cheese Day & A Visit to Tuttle's

Happy National Cheese Day!

a.k.a. National Tina Day

(https://www.buzzfeed.com/joannaborns/quiz-what-food-matches-your-personality)

What better way to celebrate than a delicious bagel with fresh goat cheese?

Strawberry Fest at Tuttle's allowed for many delicious treats...

Granny with her favorite "cheese head"

Strawberry "Nachos" & Fresh Strawberry Salsa

It wouldn't be a complete day without a thought of mexican food, so the perfect way to cap off the day: queso and margaritas! Added bonus: we were reunited with Sylvia, the best waitress we've ever had!

"Reunited and it feels so good..."

National Donut Day

Because who said there couldn't be back to back donut holidays??

After an eventful day yesterday, I was woken up by 3 missed calls and a text from Granny. My mission was to bring every dirty clothing item from our home to Granny's to be washed. Sworn to secrecy, I complied, and gathered up our laundry and ventured on to Granny's. But first, I had to stop by Dunkin' to celebrate NATIONAL Donut Day. The line was not as long as I had thought and after only about 10 minutes I drove away with 3 beverages and 3 FREE donuts in hand. Glorious.

Once I arrived to Granny's, I was instructed to begin writing in the 300 prompt journal. A new rule: everyone that comes to Granny's must now write in the journal. With only three prompts done...we've got a lot of work to do.

#IndyDonutDay

I woke up and completed the first Twitter scroll of the day. I discovered the trending hashtag, "#IndyDonutDay." I immediately texted Leah because I knew that she would be just as, if not more, excited as I was. So, Leah picked me up and after a few errands for Granny, she, Aunt T, and myself traveled downtown to the Fountain Square area to celebrate this glorious day at the Great American Donut Company. We walked in and after staring at the available options, Leah exclaimed, "I want the weirdest one." Typical. She chose the maple bourbon bacon donut. I got the toasted coconut. Aunt T got the raspberry lime glaze. We got the smores donut for Granny. After Leah and I inhaled our donuts, we happily agreed to finish off Aunt T's. A perfect way to enjoy #IndyDonutDay!

All followed by a trip to Trader Joes. Highlights include: frozen bananas, sunflowers, cookie butter, and bacon jam. Yes, BACON JAM.

An impromptu trip to the Children's Museum (against mom's will) happened next. Free admission allowed for carousal rides, access to exhibits and photo-ops that proved we were way too old for the Children's Museum. We couldn't leave without buying an overpriced cookie...

This "jump-into-summer" kind of day culminated at the first outdoor mall concert of the season. Little did we know that it was "head banger night..." (Side note: Leah dropped the cheese on the pavement, leaving us with no more snacks.) We all decided that the concert series can only improve following the below average "Rock of Ages..." 

  

Here's to countless more summer days just as great as #IndyDonutDay!

Keep Bitin'!
