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.
