jeni and I are flying to Lesbos and the weather will be warm and sunny.
We are going to a little place I know overlooking a bay. The gorgeous Greek waiter will place our table outside where we will have the best view of the little ships skimming across the waves. The sea will be very blue.
I am starting with a Buck's Fizz and jeni is having a diluted Pernod.
Suggestions please for starters, main course, dessert and drinks.
No chocolate for me!

Absolutely not the done thing greatnan

I'm not having the coffee - it is like treacle! I will finish as I began - with another glass of Lanson. We mustn't be sick in the back of the limo though.

A little, jeni?

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 16:40:20

It is a little sqiffy making it isn't it? sunshine

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 16:36:17

You expect me to count when I've od'ed on that gravy?

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 16:33:07

I counted 5!

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 16:29:50

Now feeling a bit sleepy - it must be all that gravy... and the four slices of baklava...!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 16:21:52

It's an old family recipe. Works as an excellent antidepressant, better than Prozac any day. Unfortunately non prescibable!sad

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 16:19:17

I could have your kind of gravy with anything, jeni. grin

Anagram Sun 08-Apr-12 16:13:57

Yes, Balaclava and Brandy for me, too, now I've finally made it here....
I love those foreign puds!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 16:11:54

annobel I thought you didn't like gravy in prosecco? grin

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 16:07:49

Well, I'm coffee-intolerant so I will settle for a glass of brandy.

bagitha Sun 08-Apr-12 16:03:13

Baklava's good with snobby coffee too.

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 15:59:21

Oooh yes (pats tummy). That was the perfect end to a perfect lunch. Any gravy left?

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 15:50:27

I have to leave room for my very favourite Greek dessert. Baklava! Yummy!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 15:37:13

You should live in the Alps - I am told it is snowing again!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 15:23:38

Annobel Sun 08-Apr-12 15:14:25

I don't want to go home to the wind and rain!

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 15:07:36

jeni Sun 08-Apr-12 15:02:54
