Easter BBQ-絕招一出

Recap of May 01, 2005

昨天講到水晶晶的絕招一出冇幾耐己清倉!


無錯水晶晶係做炒飯!!我告訴他們名字叫香港炒飯，他們還說好好味呢!

吟又過左骨啦！


這次經歷真的刻骨銘心，二年前的事仲係好似剛剛發生！！

好驚險！好彩無失禮人咋！

講真水晶晶在外邊真系無時無刻想著要故存中國人的形象架，身在易鄉好像代表了全個中國，你的一舉一動系中國人的大個體，人地吾理你系邊個。尤其是在希臘的小島以及在我這邊(除了尼斯以外)很少見到中國人的，意大利人成日眼望望的， 要盡可能提供正確信息。


 我家人來探我時，在火車、巴士上，別人(法國人)問我們是否日本人。

你看穿得光鮮點(不是名牌子呀!)，守規具的是日本人，就不是嘖們中國人!!

很多時做壞事的便是標中國人!多可悲!!

講回 over run 得好慬要既 Easter BBQ！呢個經歷真系好難能可貴！
要天時、地利、人和的結合，將來未從必可以過這般巧合啊!!

主菜是羊排，烤薯仔還有希臘沙律 Greek Salad ,  克里特島的茄子小碟，茄汁白豆 Broad Bean with Tomato Sauce，復活節的麵包等；& Spaghetti.

包租婆Irina 及那海軍軍官的媽媽，各自準備了一大鍋羊排，

包租公Paolo 負責燒烤，我們則排排坐食羊排；雖然不是燒全羊，但已十分滿足了！其實我們是當天晚上看電視才知道週圍都有燒全羊，所以沒有失望。

The man in Red hat is 包租公Paolo .

羊排是希臘的秘制，用香草調味，燒好後只加少許檸檬汁才吃，完全吾覺有羊的穌味，好好味呀！

靜雞雞話你知希臘人做羊排的秘仿，(是包租婆教的):

 用二種不同的香草，Oregano , sprint mint 薄荷葉, 蒜頭，胡椒粉, 鹽調味，

要 隔晚腌，即 要食前一晚 放好調味才會入味。

食飽後，他們每人手拿一只烚熟的紅雞蛋，客人或年長的用他的雞蛋敲向主人，直到其中一方的雞蛋爆裂，雞蛋沒有爆裂的一方便得到祝福，帶來好運。經過他們示範後，水晶晶和泰狄熊也加入戰況，水晶晶還把那海軍軍官的雞蛋敲裂！

接著所有希臘男士也起來跳舞(除泰狄熊外)，不分年齡，他們示範了三、四隻，民族舞，有節興上必出現的Kalamatianos ，是民族舞；愛琴海的Sirtos . 還有一隻來自克里特島的，叫五倍的暈眩Pendozali (five times dizziness)愈跳愈快.

他們也邀請水晶晶加入，很好玩呀！玩到下午五時才各自回家去.

Then we went for a walk after eating in order to avoid fallen alseep. As Teddy bear is already a "FAi Tsai" and I got a small "ciccia" belly.



Seaside  below our apartment.

Lamb chops was prepared here in Azoliminos instead of the whole lamb for me it’s the same. It was marinated in herbs (oreganos, spint mint, garlic, salt and pepper.) a day in advance by our landlord!!! It was so delicious ! I can assured you  the special smell of lamb is no longer exists.


Efcharisto ( thanks) Irina !!

Apart from the roast lamb, Kokoretsi( a piece of offal twisted round a spit brushed with herbs and lemon),  I did not eat as I don’t eat offals, roasted potatoes, and  other small Greek dishes were prepared  such as egg plants, broad beans in tomato sauce, Greek Salad, slightly sweet egg-bread ( kind of Easter bread).

At the end of the meal, each person took one red dyed  hard boiled egg and then the guest or the senior person strike/ hit his egg onto the one of the others until one of it  was  cracked. The one who can break the eggs of the other would have blessed /good luck.

We saw in the TV one General striking his eggs onto the one of the fellow soldiers.  Don't know if the Russians have the same tradition.

After the eggs, here comes the dance. All the men raised from the table (except teddy bear) and dance together. Most  Greek dancing is done in the form of small steps round a circle or a line,  holding hands.  We saw three different dances, Kalamatianos, Sirtos and Pendozali was shown by our guests from Crete . 





Kalamatianos is originally from Kalamata, it is the moast popular folk dance at every feast. Sirtos is from the Aegean Islands . Pendozali means five times dizziness due to the speed of the steps.  It was traditional dance by the Cretians and the men also compete as to how fast they can do the steps..
