Christos Anesti! (A few weeks later)

This weekend, we got to enjoy Greek easter with our favoritest Greek (and Irish) friends - delayed a couple of weeks by a pesky head cold for our chief extraordinaire Abby, as well as a Boston Marathon weekend that didn't allow for carbo-loading with feta cheese and pita.
Tremendous Greek delicacies abounded as the Vergados clan rolled out the red and white carpet for a mouth-watering feast that allowed us to happily get our Greek on for an Easter Feaster!
Here I am with my two favorite Greek For A Day Goddesses
The King himself, seated comfortably in his throne, Josh was the lord of all he surveyed.  He regaled us with songs much like those celebrated in the Greek feasts of yesterday - Bob the Builder, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and Snoopy Come Home.
Abby didn't cast any Dark Shadows over this incredible feast, which featured an award-winning platter of pastisio, not to mention pita, salad, lamb, stifado, potatoes, and braided koulourakia!
Collinswood itself never saw such a spread!
Being an Irish dog, Brogan didn't know what to make of the whole soiree.  Luckily, he had Heather there to explain it to him.
Great times with great friends!  Sadly, Andrew was unable to join us this time around, but that would have meant at least another platterful of lamb for the menu.
And lest we forget, this Friday sees the release of a movie us comic book fans have been waiting our entire lives to see.  Yea, verily, Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor! So let's leave you with The Mighty Josh uttering the immortal words heralding the arrival of the biggest movie of 2012.  Let the call go forth!
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!
