yemis-yummy

our neighbor lady, Francesca brought us a steaming hot plate of γεμισμένα φύλλα σταφυλιών "yemismena filla stafilion..." - i think that's how they say 'stuffed grape leaves', i personally cant get my tongue around the words, but i CAN get my tongue around the food pretty well! .. maybe you know the ones.. i'm going to figure out how to make it.. maybe one day soon, maybe one day later, but one day for SURE! ---- it's seasoned rice and ground meat rolled up into little grape leaves, and then covered with a delicious lemon butter sauce.

i think the little neighbor ladies all like to 'compete' for the love of the little preggy foreign girl on dafnis.. because this comes a day after i got two huge fistfuls of freshly cut flowers from the OTHER neighbor lady, Vouta. 5 long stem roses, a few gardenias (smell good!) and some other floral delights to accompany the roses.

i've got a busy windowsill these days, and i feel like la plus chanceuse du monde!

Sounds like you are in good hands!
Stuff grape leaves, flowers, wow...there hasn't been so much excitement on Dafnis in years....

I think we should set about having an historical monument placed there to mark the spot...
