B-Day at our new home!

Yesterday was D. birthday, what a great occasion to celebrate and to gather our friends to eat and drink and be merry! :)))
Of course we worked our butts off to get the house spic and span! I focused my efforts in cooking for our 11 guests. It must be admitted i owe a lot to smitten kitchen and tastespotting for the ideas i got regarding the menu! So we had chickpea salad with roasted red peppers (the remaining chick peas were turned into one yummy  hummus as a dip for freshly cut veggies), tabouli salad (i use cold water and turns out fine) and a mixed  salad . For the main course i made roasted baby potatoes with orange and mustard, beef burgers and a baked pasta with minced meat based on this recipe but ommiting the peppers and the parsley (there was none left!). My good friend Liana provided us with little sausages paired with a killer dip :)
Altogether was a great evening!

A great weekend!

Last weekend was a blast!!! Many of us Greek Etsians, participated in a craft show at Booze, an alternative space downtown. It was (as always) tons of fun seeing my online friends, sharing news and drinking great wine :) The only drawback was that i caught a cold and now i am at work feeling like a zombie!! Well, something's gotta give as they say!

My stand! I finally found a printers drawer:)

The whole setting! My great friend Liana (FeelwhatIfelt) shared the bench with me. She made some super cool xmas wreaths
