ReplyDeleteIt is the perfect combo. Kali oraxie
ReplyDeleteThat's what he says !
DeleteI was watching a Rick Stein programme where they boiled Octopus for just 3 minutes. He said it was very tender. I always thought it took hours!
ReplyDeleteNo way it would be tender after 3 minutes!!
DeleteIt was on his programme about Palermo. One of the Weekend Breaks series.
DeleteI will look for it on youtube. Maybe it was boiled first for an hour or so and just presented as 3 minutes. It would have been very chewy I'm sure
DeleteI haven't had ouzo in years, it was nice.
ReplyDeleteBetter if you drink it on a Greek island!!
DeleteSeems perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteHe sure thinks it's perfect
DeleteLooks like a happy man there
ReplyDeleteVery happy. As Angela said, it's the perfect combo...for him
