Juan, how's your Greek? I've always been told that "gyro" is pronounced "YEE-ro" but little waitresses in Greek restaurants don't seem to have heard that. Thanks for the tip on "bruschetta;" despite my Italian last name (it's my husband's, not my maiden name) I was guilty of saying "bru-SHET-a. "

And you can imagine how much trouble we have with the silent "g" in our last name!

Salut!
