Oh my goodness it all looks so good!!! I’m doing a Greek style Christmas. It’s hot here most of the year and especially around Christmas but I’d love to have a nice cold Christmas with many of the above one day. Impossible without a kitchen in France. If I win the lottery you could make it for us lol 😉
Thanks Sue! I love the idea of a Greek style Christmas feast! Happy Holidays!
