The first course for two of the dinners was a cup of vegetable soup that, while hale and hearty. was a bit weighted on the navy bean side Chicken soup was served with the other dinners

that greatly resembled oil and vinegar.
And then the moussakas arrived' As this was the first time that Bambi ever ate this ethnic specialty, she was unsure of the exact ingredients, but found it much to her liking it seem to be comprised of a layer of ground beel topped with a creamy egg mixture and served as if it wore a slice of quiche Very tasty r deed Served with it were half a large baked potato, drenched with tomato sauce, a spicy bean sauce with the usual green vegetable off to the side. Really a well-rounded meal to say the
least
For dessert, I had the baklava a nut roll dipped in honey Just exquisitel
The other Greck specialty we tried was the gyros Usually served as a makeshift sandwich the gyros that the Olympic serves is not One is given all the ingredients for the sandwich butitis left to the individual just what to do with them Nothing special or outstanding here
My overall impression of the Diympc was that if you want Good food quickly this is the The to go By no means us ta Y rmet's delight But for the good food fair prices, and quick service you can t go wrong

DIANA ROSS. THE BOSS (Motown)-This is the one disco single worth the price had felt that theory way to improve upon the 'p velsion would be tarnake it longer And I was right! I absoTutely love this song Ross is the boss The horns the strings the percussion, and the delirious voice join to make this one of the Pottest disco tunes over. And when Ms Ross lets out those screams in the middle it ren, nds me of the first night my overlyendowed honey chose to play the donur ant role

KAT MANDU: THE BREAK (TK Disco) -This song is both excing and disappointing Purely instrumental, the first and second halves of this tune are completely opposite The first portion is some of the best disco Ive ever heard Superbly crafted
