Gigantes (Giant Bean Stew) and a story about my dad, the ice cream man
Writing about my dad's hommus recipe the other day reminded me of another specialty dish of his.

These flavours are about as Greek as they get and the aroma throughout the house when a combination like this is stewing in the oven just makes me want to lie down on the kitchen floor and levitate to Greece. See? I was levitating…
