   Hi friends,
   We are here in hubpages working together as a family of writers. I know most of hubbers are full time freelancers. I write hubs on my free time, and I work as Sr. Design Engineer in a manufacturing company. What’s your full time work?

         I have two brothers in law who are Greek. One was born in Greece the other one here in U.S.A.
         I learned to cook many Greek foods which I love..I can't spell most of the foods I cook and or like..I will try to sound out a couple though.
         Mousaka-Egg plant, potatoes-Lamb (can use beef)
         Tee-rope-i-tus (It's like a Feta cheese Quiche)

                  We also have home-made Turkish delight made by our beautiful Effy. (Grandmother of 12 YO Nicholas) I have never questioned her as to it's origins. It tastes and smells strongly of roses and is amazing!
                  Grandmother is quite religious, so we all support her Easter. She typically never talks about religion. Most Greeks I know don't seem to bother much with religion here, other than belief in god.
                  I love the kissing and hugging that seems to be a part of who the Greeks are. A warm and loving family oriented lot!

                        Sorry for your loss. Strangely that's quite sweet - passing away within a few days of each other seems 'right.' Greek families are so close.

          I used to sell Ouzo, It is strong but it is supposed to taste that way. It's like Arakrazook  in Turkey.

                Well I'm a connoisseur of tsipporou in Volos. What I love there is you order a tsipporou and get some fantastic meze with it. Our friends from Veria would come to Volos, order tsipporou, pour the excess into a bottle to take home and end up having a free meal. I cannot forget the smoked octopus I received with one of my tsipporou orders, it was superb!

             Is that a specific name brand for raki?  Raki definitely has that anise taste.  My memory may be faulty, but I think Turks called it Lion's milk.  They drink it with water, which makes it white like milk.

                Not sure about the Turks, but in Greece we have two spirits.
                
                Tsipouro is distilled from the left over Grape mash after winemaking. Many Greeks still use the Turkish word, Raki. It is yellowish firewater!
                
                Ouzo is the refined version, with herbs and anise. This is the one that turns white with water. I have not heard the Turkish name before, but Lion's Milk does ring a bell
                
                Ernest: 'Tis true - most Greeks are devout Orthodox (Easter is fantastic!), but religion is seen as a taboo subject to talk about. Politics is much more fun

                   Thanks for the response Sufi!  In Turkey Raki is definitely the ouzo/anise tasting stuff.  Not a fan of that anise taste.  I'd be game to try the Tsipouro though!  Wonder if it's anything like the "first wine"?  Went to a great first wine party in Germany once.  Kinda like 'wine in the raw'.

                Cant you be a board certified psychiatrist and a resident psychiatrist?
                
                My understanding that board certification for psychiatry was the initial certification, then you applied for a residency position in a hospital.
                
                I know normally a residency is included within the medical certification, but only a few countries had psychiatric boards combined with medical and surgical.
                
                I could be wrong, I am just dredging up from memory something I wrote in an article a while back!
                
                Wouldn't really know what was right unless we had an unbiased psychiatrist on hand to answer the question!

       In your profile you state "I have an M.D. and I work for a hospital."
       
       Could you explain this? Hospitals don't hire doctors.
       
       Even emergency doctors are a group who use hospital facilities but don't actually work for the hospital. ER doctor groups say we will treat your emergency patients if you allow us to work out of your hospital. These doctors are paid by insurance companies and patients but not by hospitals.
