Η Βασιλόπιτα της Σαββατοπαρέας 2013


By Asmatikos Horeftiadis,
SPN Entertainment Reporter


Our sympareotis Frank (aka Φώτης) was the lucky winner of the "flouri" as about 40 members of the Sabbatoparea (some with their adult children) gathered at Athan's in Brighton, Jan. 26, 2013, to celebrate the cutting of the group's Vasilopita and the New Year. The mood was festive and the camaraderie evident among the sympareotes. In fact, the lack of live music this time gave members a better chance to mingle and talk to others who do not attend regularly the Saturday gatherings.

The group sang "Πάει ο Παληός ο Χρόνος," and enjoyed the fabulous food donated by Aristeidis--μελιτζανάκι τουρσί (καλαματιανό), ψάρι πλακί με πατάτες φούρνου, σουτζουκάκια με πιλάφι, εκμέκ και σάμαλι. The vasilopita was made this time by Virginia, wife of sympareotis Hristos) from an old Hania traditional recipe. The coin was an old Byzantine coin depicting Empress Theodora, wife of Justinian.

 Service was provided by two servers who know the group well--Margaret and Erin (Ειρήνη).

Kai tou Hronou.

Laughter is a best solution of fear, anger
and boredom. But my favorite is the link that tells you about
bad dates stories, of course they are the funniest.

It improves blood and oxygen flow to the muscles that are recovering from the prior hard workout.
Even if your small business doesn't have some sort of refrigerator (a rarity today) you can choose vegetable and fruit that do not even require refrigeration. If the answer is I''''''ll do whatever takes''''''''.
