Today according to the Ortodox calander we commemorate Saint Nickolas.
He is one of the most important Saints of Greeks because He protects the sailors and our Navy :)

All the men that have the name Nickolas are celebrating this day.
For the Ortodox , name days are very important.

Dear Nicko Xronia Polla ( may you live healthy for many years)
:bounce:


I will post my little present later on for you!

Regards

I recieved my customary call from my Father today wishing me Xronia Polla, but never expected to hear. Thank you so much. I think my father always remembers because he was in the navy so this was an important saint to remember.
Thanks,

Nicko

Traditional Recipe of Arcadia-Greece for Nicko

Well Nicko this is my small gift.
It's just a rare recipe from a dish that people from Arcadia-Greece love to make.
You come from Arcadia, so I thought you would enjoyed to have this rare recipe.Maybe your father has heard of this dish.
I got it from my mother in law who is an excellent cook and a pure Arcadian of course :)



Lagoto (this is how the dish is called) comes form the Greek word Lagos =Hare. The original dish is hare with garlic sauce in the oven !!
I think its the best dish I have ever have although it's a bit heavy for dinner.

If you do not have hare you could use pork. It's still delicious.

Lagoto for a Happy Greek Parea of 10 people in the casserole

15 serves of pork
Olive oil
3 garlics
2 table spoon of vinegar
2 cups of tomato juice
salt-pepper
A stick of cinnamon
1 cups of chopped walnuts

1.Saute the meat with the olive oil.
2. Add the tomato juice.
3.In a blender mix the three garlics (yes!! 3 garlics) with 2 tsp of olive oil ) and the walnuts
4. When the meat is almost ready pour in your casserole the puree of garlic and stir well
5. Add the spices.

6. 5 minutes before you put your casserole off the fire add the vinegar ;)

You need to have good dry red wine to escort this delicious dish!

Enjoy

Witty post

ROFL, Momoreg. That is so hilarious. I guess I should have called my neice's Greek husband to wish him well. He is another Nick - or is it too late now? Tell me, all of you Greek geniuses, what does KAO stand for? They call the sororities and fraternities the Greek system:)

Athenaeus

...sniffle...bunny rabbits??? Shame on you, Athanaeus! Just kidding! Having had pet rabbits, I can't cook one. I used to work taking care of an Italian woman in a wheelchair. She had me cook a rabbit recipe, and I had to carry a barf bag on my arm. For weeks I had nightmares about giant rabbits standing all over my yard. This is just a personal thing with me.

HAPPY ST NICK'S DAY, NICKO!

Feliz Santo Nick!!:)

And rabbits are very good to eat!! Keeping them as pets is something that Meditteraneans generally find an eccentricity of North Americans and us Brits:p
Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO...
