Weekend Report -> Very Disappointed with EVOO Greek Kitchen.

Food this weekend ->
Made mussels for lunch on Friday.  They were OK.  Nothing special.  Just steamed in garlic and black bean sauce.

Made steak for dinner on Friday.  The steak was on sale at Sobey's.  Seasoned with only salt and pepper.  I then cooked some green beans in the steak drippings.  Finally added some microwave instant rice.  Very satisfying :)

Went out for a belated Birthday dinner on Saturday with Gen, Julie and Roger.  We went to a place that none of us has been to: EVOO Greek Kitchen.  It looked good on their website and had good reviews.  We ordered a bunch of dishes for the table.  We got the House Spanakopita, Fried Calamari, Avocado and Halloumi salad, Patates Lemonates, and a $80 plank of spit roasted lamb and spit roasted pork.
Dissappointing and Expensive Food.
The meal was not good for the prices we paid.  The spanakopita was OK  Not amazing and not bad.  The fried calamari was very good (not shown in pic).  Cooked just right and very tender.  Best thing we ate.  The avocado and halloumi salad was dripping with olive oil.  It was more greasy than the meat and the oil just pooled on the plates.  It would have been good if they had used less oil.  The lemon potatoes were good, but very strong on the lemon side.  The worst was the plank of meat.  The lamb was mostly fat and bone, not alot of meat.  The roast pork was very over cooked and dry.   I ate alot of the burnt/charred pieces too.  I was expecting a spit roast to be juicy with crispy skin.  None of that was there or even close to being good.  We are 100% sure we are never going back.  
I expected to be full after the meal but we weren't.  So we went to Menchie's and got some good frozen yogurt for dessert.  FYI: if you show your Costco membership card at Menchie's on Merivale, you get 15% off!

Useless Gaming News:
Got the last 5 packs of Mighty Meeples at Comic Book Shoppe.  I had forgotten that these came out a little while ago.  The Might Meeples are printed with DC characters on them.  I think I want to get the set of 30.  I'll need to get more packs.  Not sure how I'll store them yet.
Mighty Meeples.
