Having little shish kebabs, cheese lumps, gyoza, stuffed mushrooms and mini quiches courtesy of UCLA, now to decide if Cal Berkeley or Wisconsin will have better nibbles. Might check out both. :thumb up: Its a good job they don't have free drinks as I was somewhat led astray last night by a wandering goliard.

Mini sliders, chicken satay skewers, some kind of samosa things and shrimps. Top drawer Wisconsin. :thumb up: I might make Michigan now but I got a text saying they've eaten most of the food. :(

St. George's Day, time for something British! (Also, it's blowing a bloody gale and the rain is coming down like stair rods). Toad in the Hole - I've just made the batter, yum yum.

After the trauma of the soggy breaded chicken wings last week my faith in the land of opportunity is restored. Admittedly not as many choices of flavours of our Nova Scotlan adventurers but I had two superb orders of hot wings at Earls for my tea tonight. All washed down with a couple of rather cheeky pale ales. :thumbup:

I christened my new Weber with a couple of Rib Eyes, and oil brushed asparagus, peppers, and courgette. In the oven I did a couple of line caught salmon. All topped off with mashed potato, sweet potato, and carrot.

For afters everybody tucked into puddings from Whole Foods

A fine feast :nod:

Oh good god no. My Father In Law did the hard work. I just took it out of the freezer, chopped it up and removed bones :thumbup:

I've only fished once in my life many many years ago. I caught a passing duck and never tried again. very traumatic.

First visit to Paros on Main Street Airdrie- I know it looks like a rundown Greek Taverna, the kind of place you might see on a tatty UK seafront, but was well impressed. The food was excellent, huge portions, good value and great atmosphere even if the decor is a bit dated. Can recommend the Flaming Cheese starter, but quite scary (and rather warm) if you happen to be sat next to the waiter when he ignites it!! :eek:

However not sure that belly dancing is authentic Greek entertainment, us ladies found it more amusing watching the hubbies not quite knowing where to look, lol :rofl:
