Rhodes pt 3: Eating and drinking

The food was so good in Rhodes. I really need to learn how to make souvlaki and kokkinisto! Maybe even moussaka. Gyros might be too challenging...

The drinks were good too :P Gin tonics at the beach. And we found a perfect cocktail bar appropriately named 'Local bar' we went there 3 times. Would've probably gone there every night had we found it on the first night! The first two days we stayed in Ixia.

Day 14: Food Glorious Food

Share your favourite recipe. Talk about the best cocktail you've ever tasted. 

Or maybe share you fave restaurant experience. Lets talking about food! 

I love food.

So experiences or something, huh?

Well, as the picture above shows, I love sushi. I'm a lazy cook, so especially around payday I like to go to my favorite sushibar to grab some take out sushi to take with me to work. It's expensive, I have to work a few hours to get even, but it's so worth it! Currently, if I was asked to choose one kind of food for the rest of my life, the answer would be sushi! 

Nom nom nom!

Students who bribe gift their supervisors are the best! My fourth student and my first gift = the best student. Well would've been even without the gift...

Assorted Belgian chocolate, I could get used to this!

Greek food at Santorini

My bestie had a birthday on Monday and we went out to eat to celebrate! Coincidence with the upcoming Greek holiday or not, we ate at a Greek Restaurant. The food was delish. I really do love olive oil, I gotta say :D So I'm totally looking forward to the vacation and eating a lot of Greek food! 1,5 weeks to go \o/

spinach pie

Italian wine. Haha :D

Shared fishy-plate

Regular old steak

Eggplant, cheese, tomato and pork with herb-potatoes. Nom nom nom

ice cream and halva perhaps?

the birrthday girl got a lovely pink horse :D

Different kind of MayDay celebration

The 1st of May in Finland is called Vappu. The celebrations start today. That basically means that a lot of people get drunk. That is what I usually do. Provided I have the holiday off. But not this year. Sure, I have a day off today and start working nights tomorrow, so I could've celebrated. But  I decided not to. I can't remember the last time I've voluntarily turned down a celebratory day!

Many kids and kid-like people get balloons

So instead I opted to stay at home with the husband, just like a normal day off :) Just some good food and some Pommac, which is a non-alcoholic soft drink often served at weddings as an option to sparkling wine. And it's so delicious! Really reminds me of the times I visited my great aunt. She lived at this agricultural school being the hostess or whatever. Anyway, she had this outdoor food cellar which smelled all musty and she always had Pommac there for me. Ah, happy memories!

Anyway, here's a few food photos of today :P

Voila, bon appetit!

Saturday night la-di-da-di-da-di-dah

On Saturday we had asked our friends to come over for the evening for some wine and food and company. It's actually quite rare that we have a weekend off at the same time, my husband and I. Both of us work shifts... Blah.

Anyway. Me, being the lousy cook I am, just made some chicken and pasta salad. My best girl on the other hand, came to our place and just pretty much whipped up a tomato and cheese -pie.

While the food was prepared we did start our evening off with a few drinks. Cosmopolitans to be precise.

There was plenty of wine to go around throughout the whole night. And of course I had to pay for that yesterday... And today... The hangovers do get worse when you get older. Or then I'm coming down with flu. I seriously still feel like crap. Sure being in the balcony without a cardigan or shoes helped a bit in the possibility of falling ill...

The 'boys' played on the computer for a long time while we watched the Eurovision songs and other videos on Youtube. But in a much favored fashion, we ended the night with some good old Trivial Pursuit. We let the boys win for a change. Ha ha.

True story, us girls - WE KICK ASS!!!

Food for thought

Our local grocery store is one of the crappiest there must be... But with not having a car nor a license and it being a friday, I sure as hell didn't want to go to a supermarket, so the local it was... I was stupefied to notice they had fresh pineapples!!! Whoa! I'm afraid to crack it open though, you never know what ind of surprises the food holds inside itself ;D At least according to the news!

Oh, I can't wait for the summer to arrive and finally being able to buy farmfresh produce from the market by the seaside... Gotta say, it was nice and warm on the balcony today though, even if there is a shitload of snow left... At least I could hear it melting :) But I still don't dare to wear anything but Uggs... It's still too cold and too icy in the shadowy spots :(
