Storms, Feasts and Friends

It has been a bit stormy here in Greece lately...


and very cold, but in the last few days the winds have changed and it has warmed up again.  It is amazing what a difference in temperature we get from a Northerly to a Southerly wind.

Just as well it is warm again as we have friends coming from New Zealand to visit us next week.  I would hate for them to freeze on their first trip to Greece!  We can't wait to catch up with them!

I do think they are lucky that this time of year provides beautiful lighting for photographs. 


And we have had some lovely evenings since the Northerly winds got chased away by the Southerlies...


Anyway, I am off to work now as the owners of the boat we work on are having a dinner party tonight at their house and have asked me to cook for them.  I am making a mixed Asian style buffet... Asian chicken bites and compressed sushi for nibbles, followed by a buffet of Thai caramelized pork, Ginger beef with grilled eggplant, sushi rice with sesame seeds, Asian deli noodle salad, Thai green salad, Steamed bok choy, Japanese marinated carrots... 

And for dessert... something completely not Asian...  Profiteroles!

Okay, so I've got lots of prep to do....

Ciao!
