Christmas Festivities

It's been a few days since our last post because we've had so many holiday parties to attend! It all started on Christmas Eve with a cocktail party at the Director's residence. This party featured salmon...an entire salmon!


On Christmas we had dinner at Loring Hall with about 20 others who live or stayed in Athens for the holidays. The main meal included quiche, asparagus, pork with prunes and chestnuts, rice with pine nuts, salad, and many different desserts.


Rob's favorite Christmas treat is called melomakarona which are basically soft molasses cookies soaked in honey. These are bite sized versions:


Finally on December 26 we celebrated Boxing Day with professors Joe and Leslie Day as our hosts. They had food and drink that we really hadn't tried before including caviar, boar pate, and kir royales.
