But anyway, I managed to take some food pics while I was away (and got really REEEEALLY bored of replying "IT'S FOR MY FOOD BLOG!!" everytime someone asked/ why I was taking pictures).
Pasta primavera - no cheese.
Dolmades - rice and veggies wrapped in vine leaves - SOOOO Yum!

Vegetarian platter 1 - loads of grilled veggies, plus the usual side order of chips AND rice.
Vegetarian platter 2 - veggies stuffed with rice and the bestest roast potatoes in the world EVER!
Amazing local bread with cumin seeds on top and fresh hummus
Mojito! Sal & Em style
Sweeties, ignoree the pink and white ones though - they had dirty gelatine in so I didn't eat those!
Some rice salad my mum made to go with the barbecue we had, with some garlic bread and spring rolls also visible.
And lastly - the stuff I couldn't leave behind: gorgeous pittas, pasta, limes, veggie stock cubes and tinned tomatoes and a tin of hummus! Never seen tinned hummus - will get back to you on whether or not it's rank!
Lastly - a quick shameless plug to say please go vote for my cupcake!! There's only a couple of days left.
MMMM..I love dolmades! I've never had them with a sauce though. I'll have to try them that way next time.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to be back in Greece. I'm going to have to make a themed meal to curb the craving.
ReplyDeleteIt is sooo hard to be back at work after vacation. It's been 4 months and I'm still not totally mentally back.

All that food looks delicious! Especially your mom's rice, I have to say! Can I come over? :P

Yeah my mum makes good rice! I think she made it about once a week when I lived at home.
