Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food.

Volkswagen - Boys Birthday Cake

This cake was baked and decorated in only three or four hours. Actually I “forced” the whole process, and I did not follow the basic rules for cake decoration… Sorry!!

One of our friends had his birthday so his wife, Katerina, and I decided to surprise him with a cake.

I know that this cake is for a little boy and actually this was not what I had in mind, but at the last minute I decided to tease him a bit…

Haris became 39 this year and he is my husband’s best friend. He has a very good sense of humor and he looked pleased with the surprise.

Well, to be honest, one of the reasons I decided to make this cake for him was that my kids where around during the whole process, so I wanted to keep them happy as well… I am sure that if you have a kid you know what I mean…

The bottom line is that we are all kids, aren’t we???

  9. Your cakes are always so creative. I think when it comes to cars men often do consider these their favorite toy, so the cake works for any age :)
