Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food.

Nellie the Elephant Birthday Cake

This Birthday Cake was made today for a little girl called Olga who is going to celebrate her 1st birthday tomorrow!  Her aunty wanted something cute and colorful for Olga, so I decided to make Nellie the Elephant from Pocoyo Cartoons. 

These little bees where made with fondant. I painted the black stripes with edible black colour.
The cake was made with cocoa, biscuits, confectioners sugar, eggs, vanilla, butter and milk.
Happy Birthday Olga!!!
I hope you like the cake...

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter
    to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

    Hey there! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine
    Optimization? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not
    seeing very good success. If you know of any please share.

    Fantastic site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of
    any user discussion forums that cover the same topics
    discussed in this article? I'd really like to be a part of online community where I can get feed-back from
    other experienced people that share the same interest.

    Hi, I believe your web site might be having internet browser
    compatibility issues. Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful blog!

    Greetings! Quick question that's totally off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
    My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4.
    I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be
    able to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations,

    You probaƅly ᧐ffer flyers and brochures as downlօads from
    your ԝebsite. Sky-scrappers may also bе just like banner ad campaigns, hoᴡeνer the differencе iis Ьecаuse they
    run vertically about the web page. The chߋices endless for yur
