It was this Mother's Day and my husband, unknown to me, had bought huge freshly baked French sticks. He then bbq'd bacon and eggs and stuffed the warm bread with our breakfast and presented it to me with fresh coffee. OMG double yum what can I say. It was a million times better than the ones from Dome!!!Christina Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394771634788090193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-82553542373812286282011-07-16T13:21:59.358+09:302011-07-16T13:21:59.358+09:30Peta - chocolate beer?

He had cooked me a sour-cream chocolate cake (takes something like three hours to cook so he scored major points on that one). We ate it sitting next to the river at sunset watching the yachts float past.<br />I also love it when my kids and their friends tell me I make the best brownies ever.<br />Now all I need to do is try chocolate beer....Petanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-76413829711532395062011-07-16T11:55:08.402+09:302011-07-16T11:55:08.402+09:30Mel, what a lovely memory to have.

And so very very fitting for the Taverna. <br /><br />With my family, food has always been a big part of our lives and celebrations. On my 21st we had two lambs on the spit and a pig on the spit - very Greek celebration. There's nothing like eating straight off the spit (sorry to my poor vegetarian friends). <br /><br />And I could not get by without my mum's Greek sweets for celebrations, nor her cheesecake. I'm blessed. I think every special occasion has been marked with great food. <br /><br />I'm not a big drinker, but the occasional Pale Ale is nice, especially in summer.Eleni Konstantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410262752761104440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-52913583389824811152011-07-16T10:29:53.692+09:302011-07-16T10:29:53.692+09:30Thanks Mel :)

It's like with my husband, because we met when living far away from each other, our romantic meal became pizza and champagne, cause that's what we always had the first night together (easy, simple, allowed time for 'other things') :)Nicole Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653091430551896614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-4222471549222346782011-07-16T10:26:02.947+09:302011-07-16T10:26:02.947+09:30Hi Nicole and Eleni!!

We each had a huge black forest cake brought out with the candles. A nice, simple memory I treasure.Mel Teshcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945507690555119380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649422955156175144.post-78958112337873369672011-07-16T09:49:27.184+09:302011-07-16T09:49:27.184+09:30Thanks for the opportunity to be in the taverna, E...Thanks for the opportunity to be in the taverna, Eleni.
