In the usual fashion of moving to a new apartment, we had a housewarming party on Sunday. And of course we cooked many different dishes for our guests.

The menu:

- Eggplant Parmesan
- Moussaka
- Greek Salad
- Râpé
- Hummus and pita bread
- Watercheastnuts wrapped in bacon
- Sushi
- Challah (not really Challah but a braided bread with shallots, poppy seeds and cheese in each braid)
- Canapes with olive tapenade mozzarella and roasted peppers
- Stuffed mushroom caps
- Fruit plate for the
- Chocolate fondue and
- Vanilla custard

It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it. We started the night before preparing what we could without filling up our tiny fridge, and got up early to cook everything. It all went pretty well. Calin and Susanne came earlier to help. We also bought 80 liters of beer and 6 bottles of wine.





We stayed up until around five in the morning and made it through 5/8 of the beer and ended up with more wine than when we started. The food all went which is impressive. Usually there are lots of leftovers. Well done, gang. Thanks to everyone for coming and all the wonderful gifts you brought, you warmed up our home beautifully.

You do know there is a video right Joy? Some would even consider this better than pictures. Some would even say it's like a bunch of pictures shown in sequence.
