Easter Sunday

Meat , meat and more meat

But we don't want anyone  to leave our house hungry, says our Greek

A big lamb, around 17 kilos, a spit of kondosouvli (pieces of pork and chicken with green pepper, onion and tomato), a spit of pork (loin, leg, shoulder?  I don't know), and the long thin spit is offal wound with miles of intestine

The lamb is down

We've already filled up on pork, chicken and offal but we always find a wee space for lamb.  It was cooked to perfection, juicy and tasty.  There was just a lot of it!

The next generation is slowly taking over.  Yeh 

Tidbits 

the last of the brain

Somehow the tail was uneaten, discovered during the clean-up when Sam took all the remaining meat off the bone.  Katy was a bit disappointed but probably had it cold for breakfast, with the offal soup. This NZer eats everything and she wasn't even brought up on a farm, where offal is often dish of the day.

Bones were shared out to neighbourhood dogs, the last bag of 'dog' meat went out the following Thursday.  Our freezer has a container marked 'easter lamb' and and we are finally allowed to eat peas and fish and greens and  lentils.  As someome suggested the fast should come after easter not before.  Everyone would be happy to avoid eggs and meat and cheese after the Easter Sunday feast

What the hell is this nasty piece of meat?  And how come it ended up on my plate?  I passed it on and he ate it.

A little dancing

And lots of dishwashing

Looks like they are actually enjoying themselves!

It was a wonderful day, lots of english speaking people, good NZ wine. The inlaws came across from the village of Galatas.  Neighbours popped in and out.  

 My nephew and neice came over from England.  They made my easter.  

We had three days packed with family affairs.
