A Thyme of Goats
Easter lunch in Greece is, I suppose, the equivalent of a Christmas lunch in the UK , a time to sit about with family and friends and stuff yourself full. Here we normally eat goat, this was cooked by my good friend Taki. He first annointed it inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic, thyme […]
Advice on Dolmades
March 30, 2010
After a nice lunch of pork chop and lentil salad, I was on the terrace reading Herodotus, The Goddess was down in the courtyard doing some pruning, when I heard a strange bleating sound.

March 27, 2010
I went travelling last night, only back 3 years, I was needed urgently as my pal Woody was having trouble with the lighting on his ( then ) latest film Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
