| Fotini, Panos, Lawrence and Ori came over for dinner. Everybody brought a different dish, delicious food and plenty of it! The dishes were: Grilled aubergine with feta and tomato sauce done by Fotini and Panos. Cauliflower and chick-pea salad (thanks for the recipe, Jannetje!) Roquefort and mushroom quiche by Ori. Yoghurt and fruits of the forest brought by Lawrence. And Prosecco! |
Following the German tradition for housewarming, Ori brought bread and salt. The ritual comes from many years ago when salt and bread were two of the most important foods/ingredients in the world. Salt preserves food and bread gives strength. So salt and bread denote protection-preservation of body and soul and the guest blesses the new household with wealth, fecundity and health by giving them to the host.
