Well, I have been so busy at work I haven't had time to cook or contribute to the forum. How slack is that? Hopefully I can make some bread and ice cream this weekend, because I'm off on holidays next Friday. One week in London, and then 3 weeks in Cyprus. I'm hoping to try some good food in the non-touristy places. I'm taking my Mum, because her Dad came from Cyprus. Unfortunately he died when she was 16, so I never knew him. We've never investigated our Greek Cypriot heritage until now. Mum will have her birthday while we're there and I've booked this restaurant:
http://www.7stgeorgestavern.com/It is supposed to be very good, completely organic as the boss grows everything, finds it in the wild and preserves it all.
In the last couple of days we've discovered her first cousin living there, who knew of our existence, but we didn't know about her. So I'm really excited to be going there and hopefully making a connection with my newfound relatives!
