Halloumi


Sitting watching the 4th eurovision song competition in Sweden and at the same time enjoying my evening food, a favourite: salad, tomatoes, honey-mustard dressing and fried halloumi cheese. So good and I just love it!!

Hope your saturday evening also will be nice and relaxing;=)

  3. Thank you Anette! I hope your evening too will be nice and relaxing. I had dinner with anchovies with vinegar, shrimps, squids and salade. Very good! What kind of cheese is it halloumi? I don't know it. Enjoy your dinner!

    Big hugs

  4. Hi Anette,

    I've never really liked Halloumi and I'm Greek! Don't like the smell of it. I prefer Feta cheese.

    Enjoy your evening!

  5. Hi Anette!
    How was your day ?
    Today I bought you some things, and I hope you'll love it :).
    I would like to know if I can be sure you will have it, and that steff's presents was not an exeption ?
    I have an other question, is your son a greedy child ? I have an idea for him and I hope you don't know the brand I want to send him (and of course you too)!

    Love and enjoy your evening!

  6. Hello Anette!

    I really wish we could watch Eurovision
    from her in the US. I have a
    foreign exchange student from the Ukraine,
    in one of the classes that I help
    out the teacher in. The other day she was
    letting people ask her questions,
    so because of Nightwish and you having
    spoken about it, I asked about Eurovision
    and she said it was really popular.

    I really wish I could see it here
    in the states.

    Well, I didn't go see "The Crazies",
    but I am going tonight with my
    friend to go see "It's Complicated".
    I think it'll be good.

    Hope you enjoy you nice evening.

    Hugs and love, Katie T.

  8. Ok I take that back. I missed the part where your post said "cheese" after "fried halloumi," and now I feel like and idiot.

  10. @Océane: all i could say is that when you send something you'll never know if it will arrive or not. Surely my package was not an exception (you could found some things if you read old posts, but i must warn you it will take time), but i told Anette that i had something for her (the candle), same for the day it was sent and the expected time. Having no reply didn't mean she's not reading, so maybe what i said helps a bit to come in Anette's hands ( she had it in less than 2 weeks, it was quite fast)...
    Be sure to have the address clearly writen, and you own address on the back for security and wrap everything carefuly, that's all. :)

    @Anette: i hope you will not receive too much gifts after my package... *blush*

  12. Hi dear,

    I'm counting the days to see you and the boys again, I hope that if the tour starts in North America you can come to South America too.

  13. Hi anette! that look very good!
    I have to try it!
    I would like to ask you something, as you probably know today was a huge earthquake in Chile, and a lot of people are missing, dead, and homeless.. I know that Nightwish has a lot of fans in Chile, and I would like to ask you if you would be able to post in your blog greeting them, send them your support. I know that a lot of them follow your blog.
    I would like to let you know that my family who lives in Santiago are all fine! and I was shocked when I knew about this. Im still in shock and sad about it.
    Take care!

  14. Have you tried field salad, cherry tomatoes and real feta cheese blended with olive oil and white vinegar? I could eat this every day, really. Best salad out there!:-)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Wow! That looks good! Anette, I just wanted to say thanks to you and the rest of Nightwish for coming to my hometown in Corpus Christi, Texas. I had such a blast seeing you all in the second row! It was a perfect way to celebrate the end of my college finals!

    Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would ever see you all live! I cannot wait to see what you all are going to do next! I hope one day to see you all again at another show!

    You have a wonderful voice and you are so kind and I enjoy reading your blog!

    Take care!

    Hugs and lots of love from,

  18. Hi A - Looks tasty ! I love that type of cheese!

    I brought some delicious Buffalo Mozzarella back from Italy, along with prosciutto and salami. Really lovely with cherry tomatoes and ciabatta bread.

    Warm Wishes Peter x

  19. Hej Anette!

    Den där rätten ser så vansinnigt god ut.

    Jag är dock inte den största virtuosen i köket, Så jag undrar om det finns en möjlighet att du skulle kunna lägga ut receptet här på din blog? :-)

    Såg att dressingen var köpt, Vilket märke är det och vad heter den?

    Ha en superskön söndag!

  21. Hi Anette!
    How are you today ? Here, in France, there is a storm, not cool =( and it is recommended not to go outside. So, very bad week end...

  22. Hii Nettie
    Your dinner looks yummie!
    Normally we also have a competition for Eurovison here in Flanders Belgium. This year is our turn (Flanders) and next year it's again Wallonia's turn (the French-speaking side of Belgium). We never organise it together. I found it very stupid that they organise this apart, I think it splits up the country even more. No wonder we (flemish people and walloon people) sometimes (or to much) feel like strangers.
    So normally we have in Flanders a competition this year where the viewers can vote for there favorite song. But this year we have nothing, they just choose a song without any competion. Too bad, I loved to watch the competition.

    My saturdayevening was very very nice. I went to a concert of Absynthe Minded (a band that I mentioned a couple of times already ;) and I so totally loved it! I love it that they have a violinist and a cellist (who also plays the bassguitar in other songs) it gives a special tone and feeling to there music. I like the stringed instruments very much. When I was little someone of my school played the violin, I loved it so much. I was dreaming as a child of playing the violin too, but never got the chance from my parents. And ofcourse it's not to late to start it, but whoo it's so hard to learn to play the violin I guess. I will stick with guitar for now :)
    This is a song they also played yesterday:

    Damn, I love it!

  23. Hi Anette,

    Looking good ...bon apetit:)
    I eat salad quite often too, mostly ceasar, and Greek chef with a little feta....I'm not to much of a cheese eater.
    Enjoy the Sunday,

    lots of love,
    Gary

  26. Steff : thanks for posting. I hope that if she receive it, she will let me know it!
    But I wonder if she really wants receive things... maybe cause of a lack of time but she never replies me when I asks questions about the gifts I'm gonna send. Well no problem,I know she can't reply to every one :)
    Anyway I'll do in the way you did (adress and wraping carefully of course =) )

    Love

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Océane: thanks. :) Also, being careful about what someone could like and found gifts that fits her (or his) tastes is quite good. Sending gifts that you found nice is a good thing, of course. But you're not the one who will have the gift(s), right? :) You could have some good ideas while reading Anette's old posts (a tip: you couldn't have wrong with colorful perfumed candles and/or things for the bath)....
    I honestly don't know if Anette wants to receive things or not. But try to imagine how you would react if someone do this for YOU. It's always nice to receive gifts, but when it's not expected or for a special reason, i would feel bad to receive something too big or too expensive; but i would be happy to have little thing(s) that i really could enjoy.
    I don't know if it will help you...


    *hugs*

  28. Steff : Of course i'll send her things I think she may love ! And I think that receive gifts could be embarassing but well she deserves it!

    So the day I'll send the package I have to say her ? That what you said Steff ?

    Love

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Océane: well, that's what i'd done... You don't HAVE to say it's posted, i just feel that it could be better... *blush*

  31. Mmmmm, I love halloumi!
    There's a restaurant/pub in my village where they do "vegetarian fish & chips", and they just put halloumi in batter instead of fish. It tastes a whole lot nicer than it sounds, but fills you up really quickly :)
    Best wishes
