Still wonderful, still applauded everywhere I go. :)<br /><br />I have found another adjustment, for when there is no feta - fresh roughly grated Parmesan works quite well.<br /><br />But on the whole, I can only repeat myself - YUM.<br /><br />'Til next year! :)<br /><br />Love,<br />NauraelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840590010200952925.post-61163120563337378102010-05-15T21:57:35.884-05:002010-05-15T21:57:35.884-05:00Naurael, so glad you keep making this!

And I still love it. I made it several times for various picnics, and every time I got asked for the recipe. So naturally, your blog got linked quite a lot in my emails. :)<br /><br />This time I had to replace the asparagus (alas, but 5 Euros for a pound is just... no.), and I think zucchini does well in there, too. Not as good as asparagus, but it's nice.<br /><br />So... May I just say that I completely adore your recipes? That's all I really wanted to do with this comment. Fangirl a bit, get some squeeing in... You know. :)<br /><br />Hope you had a good year!<br /><br />Love,<br />NauraelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840590010200952925.post-712889584461228602009-05-19T13:58:00.000-05:002009-05-19T13:58:00.000-05:00just finished making this- absolutely delicious! t...just finished making this- absolutely delicious! thanks for posting the recipe :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840590010200952925.post-18900681860933254782009-05-18T06:04:00.000-05:002009-05-18T06:04:00.000-05:00Hang in there Esi.Hang in there Esi.Kanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989919734252570552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840590010200952925.post-85350980990583425212009-05-18T00:13:00.000-05:002009-05-18T00:13:00.000-05:00Thanks again everyone!
