We bought a big green and white football at the laiki on the way to work on Tuesday. It looked fairly heavy and certainly constituted a sizeable ballast weight in the bottom half of my Donkey.
By the time we reached work I had decided that I didn't like the big green and white football. It was creating a distraction. People were commenting on it. It might have stripes but it is a vegetable, inanimate, a blob.
I am the star attraction...
Fortunately it wasn't long before I noticed that F had started filleting it. Seeds aside, the flesh looks a bit like fresh tuna steak, but there the similarity ends. It is disappointingly boring stuff.
Love eating karpousi in the summer. Chilled in the refrigerator
ReplyDeleteSo refreshing
Yup - that is what F has done with it (office fridge because the one at home is stuffed with other things that humans like - peaches in particular). She should buy more chicken and tuna....
Deleteyummmmm! we love those in Summer, sadly they are really expensive here.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know and yes I try to stay aware every day how lucky we are as regards the price of fresh foods that I would normally regard as luxury - strawberries, cherries, peaches and apricots, figs, melons of so many different kinds, even pineapples aren't expensive although I believe they are imported. There is no excuse not to eat a healthy diet here.

ReplyDeleteOh how I miss 'wallymelon' (once named by a younger sibling and thus always called thus). They are available here in the Bonny Land, but I have learned it is near impossible to get one that is actually worth the drachma paid... frozen wm was one of angel Jade's favourite summer treats.

K9s will eat anything I fear (even fox poo!). Furrings and purrings Mr T
