we probably had pastistso as well at an extended family Thanksgiving get together. .

Layers of either ziti, or maybe the big long flat pasta w a ground beef mix w herbs, some tomato sauce, and topped w bechemel sauce. Yummy!

And probably tiropitas - phyllo dough made into little triangle filled w feta cheese. Appetizer. Also Yum!
