Well, our winter...Huh... we have the same seasons. Well, our winter is not very rainy. But our rainy (aka hurricane) season is a daily monsoon for about an hour, then back to oppressively humid 90+ degree-heat.<BR/><BR/>Lovely.<BR/><BR/>And next time? Go back and have a spinakopita and also the macaroni with mincemeat and bechamel. Can't remember what the Greek call that but we Egyptians just call it "macarona bechamel" because we're so clever. Also, don't bother with the grape leaves because the Greek kind is too thick and lemony but if they have proper ones, they'll be stuffed with minced lamb and rice and be absolutely divine. Try them with the lemon potatoes. Yum.<BR/><BR/>I hope you catch this post... I went back a bit, trying to catch up!JMaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539451622257583244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12474347.post-1145789870694580152006-04-23T20:57:00.000+10:002006-04-23T20:57:00.000+10:00In my experience, Hungarian resturants are very ra...In my experience, Hungarian resturants are very rare.<BR/><BR/>Being Hungarian, I think I know why.<BR/><BR/>The only thing people know about our food is goulash (we call it gulyas). They don't know anything else, so when a Hungarian resturant opens it doesn't get many customers. At least, that is what happened in my home town (here in Australia).<BR/><BR/>And Hungarians can cook their own national food well- why go out for something you would make yourself cheaper and possibly better?<BR/><BR/>Having said that, there are a few things I didn't learn to cook that I would LOVE to be able to get in a resturant. Things I miss from my childhood.<BR/><BR/>Oh, damn you, you've brought back food memories....cinnamon girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547856129124479433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12474347.post-1145759874400503182006-04-23T12:37:00.000+10:002006-04-23T12:37:00.000+10:00chrissie: shaddap!

I just didn't want some crazy Greek chef all pissed off at me for mispronouncing his cuisine LOL<BR/><BR/>suze: hey! no fair using my line! and I'd rather eat what alex eats on ... heh ;)<BR/><BR/>kristen: poor thing ... wanna go Greek? heh<BR/><BR/>Chrissie: I have no idea how it's supposed to be presented ... the whole not eaten a lot of Greek before LOL<BR/><BR/>and perhaps I overexaggerated a wee bit with EVERY meal being grilled cheese and tuna. I did have tuna fish sammiches for dinner, and lunch — which will be in about half hour or so — will be a homemade salad ... well, a bagged salad with a few add-ons. :)DZERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879503509076513617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12474347.post-1145649319794316282006-04-22T05:55:00.000+10:002006-04-22T05:55:00.000+10:00I'm hungryI'm hungryKJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082332294088560354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12474347.post-1145642184593036112006-04-22T03:56:00.000+10:002006-04-22T03:56:00.000+10:00Dzer, as long as the food is delicious it doesn't ...Dzer, as long as the food is delicious it doesn't matter and you have a very discerning palate.<BR/><BR/>I'm also jealous of the amount of times you eat out by comparison to me.<BR/><BR/>You know what I'm about to say now don' you.
