The Italian Dinner

Theo checking on the cooks!

The day was hot and a swim at Agia Anna was refreshing!! 
On a hot day at the end of September, there were only 6 people at this beach.

Later, a group gathered at Jazzmin for an Italian dinner created by Simona and Julio 
from Lucca assisted by Reino and Diego from Bergama in Northern Italy. Wow!! 
Another culinary miracle emerged from the underground kitchen!

The appetizer plate included a thin slice of frittata(fried, not baked), 
a tomato stuffed with creamed spicy tuna and a delicious small thing. 
I learned that this was 1/2 tomato topped with a mixture of crumbs, 
ground nuts, herbs, garlic and baked in a low oven for an hour. 
The main course was the best lasagne that I have ever tasted, in huge portions. 
For dessert, a simple apple flan. Wow!!!

After dinner, Yorgos, the village fiddler arrived to entertain us with a few of his songs. 
Well fueled with beer, he was at his best!
