so here are 7 very random things


1) reading: 'Brideshead revisted'
love the penguin paperbacks and at $10 a pop, such an affordable treat

2) lunch today was a byzantine snack (i was still full from dinner last night!)
homemade babaganoush, olives and crusty torn bread - delicious!


3) my darling Grandmother Evridiki, became a grandmother (yiayia in Greek) for the first time at age 39!
which is the age I am now...Eeek!

4) on Friday night my sister and I took our mum to see Julio Iglesias, in concert - it bought back many childhood memories as my mum would play his records all the time!
we all had a fantastic night...

5) Ive got some fun new cards on offer over at Leeloo and Angela has posted an interview with me on the Leeloo blog! have a look if you like!

6) i love Pomegranates - my parents have a tree in their garden so im a lucky girl!

7) here is my babaganoush recipe:-
2 eggplants (roasted and skinned)
Juice of 2 small lemons

Blitz it all up in the blender - add salt to taste

  2. Oooh, is that a pomegranate tree growing in Sydney? I was reading Stefano Manfredi's pomegranate recipes in the SMH and wondering whether a tree would grow here and how long it would take to fruit. Do you know?

  3. Homemade babaganoush is divine. I have an eggplant sitting in the fridge, and we have been craving it for awhile; I think it's time. :p

  8. Gorgeous pics! I'll have to try that recipe, it sounds pretty manageable for someone who finds it hard to follow directions. Not to mention delicious!
