Pesky real life keeps getting in the way of important things, like blogging and 'Net surfing in general, so for all of you that asked, or provided suggestions, here is a pictorial of last weeks Big Fat Greek Dinner Party. Contrary to many suggestions, I DID go for a Greek theme, with a twist.

Yummo! Wonder where I might have tasted some of these dishes before?
Damn- making the thought of my fresh salad and tinned sirena tuna for dinner seem ever so un-appealing... but I must be a good boy and eat healthy.
Cor! Wow! And also... did you manage to stand up afterwards? Because I'd have had to sleep for at least an hour before I could move. I mean apart from the odd twitch to prove I wasn't dead yet!
tuna salad is just the thing for the weather right now, love.
ANd Griff... in true Greek style, the meal was served over a couple of hours, with plenty of wine and bourbon flowing!
But yes, Furry and I managed a food-induced sleep-in the next morning
I am impressed the pair of you only required a sleep-in over one morning... but then I'm impressed you managed to leave the table and get to bed in the first place!
I'm guessing you didn't have a choc mint as in, 'just one, it's wa-fer theen...' before exploding.
actually, it WAS a rather Mr Creosote moment!
Wow! Looks like a feast!
