When Lynn and I spent the weekend in Tampa a couple weeks ago for my birthday, we decided to drive up to Tarpon Springs (Greek sponge docks) for dinner one night.

There are two things I can't resist when eating there ... one is the fried kasseri cheese. I'm tellin' you, it's to die for. Lynn sometimes makes it at home for me, but it stinks the house up for DAYS ... so it's a rare treat. Add a bit of lemon and some Greek bread and it's ... what does Bucky say? Larrupin?



Anyway, what I'm jonesing for right now is the octopus. Man-o-man, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Here's the meal I ordered the other night. I didn't think to snap a pic until I'd already devoured half of it ... but you can get the gist of it.

But this is what I was REALLY there for. Their octopus is killer! Dang! I think there may be a little drive in store for us this weekend. This was all that was left when I decided to snap a pic before I finished it off.
