excerpt from The Homecoming Helena used to spend every summer in Athens with her yiayia, and her entire extended family would gather at her grandmother's house. With so many family members gathered under one roof, things were bound to get quite noisy! Helena remembered playing games with her cousins in the front yard, while the women chatted away loudly as they prepared elaborate meals for the family. Every day a feast would be laid out on the table, featuring all of Helena's favorite dishes—the spanakopita, freshly baked and hot from the oven, paired with the tzatziki, and the moussaka, oozing with vegetables and meat. However, Helena's favorite dish was the galaktoboureko, a custard-based dessert. Another fond memory was of attending weddings. Weddings were grand affairs in Greece, and the entire town would gather to celebrate. Helena remembered dancing the traditional horos to the music of the bouzouki. Her love for dance had been born in Greece, and had stayed with her even in America. 1 Select the correct answer.
