Easter

 Holy Saturday and it's all 'go' 

The offal and lettuce soup, mageritsa, is cooking and K is making kokretsi, chunks of liver, spleen, heart, kidneys and the like on a long spit.

Tomorrow the clan gathers.  We won't be spit roasting a lamb, or goat, this year.  He's lighting the wood oven outside and the lamb will be roasted in a baking dish with potatoes.   


The lettuce and spring onion is kept fresh outside with their roots in water


Red eggs and Easter biscuits are made


We give them away to friends and neighbours, and they are fast replaced by more from the kitchens of those same friends and neighbours.



Here's the 'boy' making that kokoretsi, roll of offal, which will be cooked tomorrow, Easter Sunday
