Things you're supposed to like, but hate.

With all due respect to Greek winemaking, I think that retsina tastes more like turpintine
except for monkey (it wasn't the brain they gave me...some unidentified part {sorry Isa}) the only food that I've never understood what the big hoo-ha is about is caviar. I've tasted red salmon caviar, black sturgeon caviar and simply it tastes like.....fish eggs. Big deal!!! If someone could explain the mystery I would be happy.
I'm not too mad about pickled herring either, much to the chagrin of my (Jewish) parents.

He he I hate retsina also!!!

In older days they used to put Retsina in wines of Attica (Athenas) as preservatives from heat.
You know what Retsini is??? is this gum from the pine tree that's why it tastes like tar...

Dearest Panini.

I am sure that your wedding cakes are excellent and if I ever have the privilege to taste them I will have a kind of revelation...

In Greece none really knows how to make those cakes and they taste... if you ever tasted a cake of this kind in my country then you would decide to change career in order o demonstarte your anger...

Well If you were addressing to me about this proposition of buying me dinner I would prefer home made dish of minestroni (your grandma's recipe) .

And Panini, in the rare case that someone disagrees with you does that mean that he/she is against the wonderfull gender of men as a whole?

Not an angry bone in my body!! Really! Life is to short. but not that short, I still love to give everyone a hard time. Thats my MO.

I work to provide for my family. Its my career, but if I ever got so passionate as to have to defend it, trust me, I would switch to selling umbrellas on a beach somewhere in a heartbeat.
