Mmmmmm Gyros...
-
Just returned from lunch. Went to my favorite gyros place. Grilled pita bread Fresh onion and tomato Creamy cucumber sauce Huge pile of gyro meat (lamb, beef, spices) *Serious Homer drool* :) But the big question is how do *you* pronounce gyro? I've heard: year-o (this is how I pronounce it) gear-o ji-row So which is it?
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.Yeah, I know, I can smell the onion from here! :|

Dance like nobody's watching.Back when I was in college, there was a Gyro shop right on Public Square. I treated myself to one about once a month and this place was run by a Greek. The one time he was low on help and took my order directly. When I asked for a "Jie-Row" he corrected me and said: "It is 'year-os' (rolling his r)" You got it directly from the originating language!!! :cool: _____________________________________________ The world is a dangerous place.

So Jörgen, a couple questions: What California wines go best with gyros? Where are you surfing from right now?

Dance like nobody's watching.- I have no ideas. I'm afraid I've never had a gyro. I guess I'll have to try one. I'm going to see a mall in today or tomorrow.. is Gyro the kind of restaurant you'd find in a food court? 2) I'm surfing from a nice hotel in Pleasant Hill, 25-30 minutes north of (i believe) SF. -- Counting the days in the haze around you Susanne let the ether fall Out of phase, I am all around you Susanne on the wall

Just under 30 more days till I am in the land of souvlaki, tzatziki, ouzo and original-light. *sigh* 30 days seems so long one moment and so close the next. Does anyone know what Arak is? Reading Zorba and they are always on about drinking Arak. Nothing to do with Iraq I am sure.
