and a happy co-opted pagan festival to you as well! biggrin

it was pretty amazing. about five different Greek pastries that I can't pronounce or remember. Pasachio (kinda Greek lasagna), home made sausages, feta cheese....Melanie brought yummy vegan cupcakes. house was full of people, which tends to put me a little on edge, but it was a pretty good crowd.

Hope your days are as fun. I envy you yourself with your China adventures.
