blacklists, roman holiday, souvlaki, and baklava!

Today, Barbara did the driving, so I was able to sit back and enjoy the Christmas lights and decorations. What a lot there were over in Hilton Head, too!
Our first stop was at a fancy shoe store. Mama would have loved it! My friend has difficult feet to fit, so this was a shop of necessity for her, not a luxury outing. Miraculously, she found a lovely brown pair that would work and be a pretty addition to her wardrobe! Success!
Next stop: the cinema!
We had gone to Coligny Theatre for a South Carolina doubleheader, but the second film never showed up. That's okay! We were still able to see "Trumbo", a film never screened in the Savannah area and on its final day there. (You can read my thoughts about it here.)
Such an uplifting tale!
Time for some dinner!
But where to go? This was the off season in this beach-loving resort community. What was close by and still open after seven o'clock?
Tasty would be nice, too.
The Frosty Frog was open! Bright lights, covered patio area! But we couldn't seem to catch the eye of the waitstaff.
Strike one!
She recalled Gringo's Diner, so we walked over there. Dark enveloped the place. They now only serve breakfast and lunch.
Strike two!
But the next one we tried was the grand slam!
Hooray for It's Greek To Me!
Such incredible service!
(Thanks, AJ!)
Such spicy eggplant!
(Ya gotta try the Melitzanosalata!)
Such lemony Avgolemono soup!
(I can still taste it just thinkin' 'bout it!)
Such savory lamb gyro and pork souvlaki! Both were served in copious amounts, sans pita, with green beans and Greek potato barely making it onto the plate.
(I had plenty of each meat for take-home!)
And such fabulous, flaky, honey-drenched Baklava to round out our meal!

Ah, yes... success!
And a lovely soft rain to blur the holiday madness as we wended our way back home through the light traffic.
Thanks for a great Tuesday, Barbara!
