Date Posted: 9/03/07 20:05 Jade that sounds marvolous!!! I do hope you have a really happy happy weekend and a wonderful day full of magic on monday..... Can we play the song 'dancing in the moonlight'? it makes me feel so happy, and we can all have a dance around our Pc's instead of our handbags in the garden... thinking of that... i'll go collect some wood for the fire. love Sam xx [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14/03/07 22:52 This food is all too British. How about a few dolmathes, some skorthalia, a dish or two of yigantes, some houmous and tzatziki, and plenty of baklavas, all washed down with a glass or two of retsina or, for those of a sweeter tooth, mavrodaphne? I could almost be persuaded to get into the party mood for that! Ellinas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17/03/07 23:18 Heee-hee... Just indulging in that mischievous sense that one who will eat anything has when suggesting a menu...! Dolmathes are stuffed vine leaves, usually stuffed with rice and onion. Skorthalia is potato mashed with (lots of) garlic and served cold as a sort of relish or sauce. The last time I ate it the ratio was 15 cloves of garlic to 3 potatoes, but it doesn't have to be that strong. Yigantes are butter beans, baked and often served in a spicy sauce. Houmous is a dip/spread made of chickpeas, garlic and olive oil. Tzatziki is also a dip/spread, made of Greek yoghurt, cucumber and olive oil. Baklavas is a very sweet pastry, constructed out of filo, stuffed with nuts (often pistachios) and pretty well drowned in honey. Retsina is wine flavoured with pine resin. Mavrodaphne is a red wine, unusual for reds in that it is sweet. Some of the above may well sound unappetizing, but it is actually very tasty. Not that I'm averse to chocolate - preferably with no less than 70% cacao. Ellinas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19/03/07 23:17 The skorthalia recipe is on Dragonswood. I've eaten but never made the rest, but I know the Tzatziki is straight forward. I'll do some research. M&S do a good baklavas - though they spell it without the final "s". It's better still if you can get it from a continental market. Ellinas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20/03/07 1:19 mmmmmmmmmm Baklava!!! delicious stuff!!! (feeling rather peckish now). There was a fantastic little greek cafe in Cardiff (on Salisbury Road and I think it was called 'Katerina's' - not sure if it's still there) and they did the BEST Baklava I have ever tasted. Truly Divine!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Well, in my house it does not anyways...... I lurve Baklava, actually had Retsina on my hen night, a trillion years ago!! Love all of the above really.

Date Posted: 26/03/07 22:21 Jade - I'm Welsh by birth and current residence, but think of myself as Greek at heart! Strange really...! I think retsina is available through the larger Tesco's stores, or maybe via their internet site, if anyone's interested. Kalee orexee (Bon appetit)! Ellinas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
