excerpt fromThe 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.
