Most Important Monday

 Seafood  and celebration 

The start of Lent

One of the biggest holidays

Traditional food and fun

In a photo parade...

All the traditional edibles

And busy family

Octopus hanging out to dry before it goes on the bbq

Pickles

Cauliflower, carrots and turnip

Hot peppers

Olives, of course

Octopus boiled and dressed with olive oil and vinegar

Steamed crab

Eaten as-is

Shrimp/prawn spaghetti

The hit of the day

Made by daughter Elli.

Homemade lagana, flatbread. 

Hot from the oven they're irresistible, especially smothered in taramasalata.

I'll be sweeping up sesame seeds from the floors and rugs for the next month

The boys were busy outside grilling and frying

And enjoying themselves with ouzo and whatever came off the bbq

Meanwhile inside..

Poppi and Boem (also known as Rusty) 

Elli and Poppi having fun? 

The female family members chopped and cooked, set up the table, cleaned and washed up

Danae and Nels and Poppi again

Chopping, stirring, plating, serving

Jan and I keeping an eye on the boys

Luli and her Mum

The boys at a loaded table

And that's the immediate family....

Except Jamie who's in Athens studying. We missed you kiddo
