St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri 44 (4)

[Antony in Tx]

Just got back from a seven day cruise to Alaska out of Seattle. It was truly awewsome! My first real vacation in over ten years. The fiance and I had a blast. We took over 1200 pictures!!! It was supposed to be our honeymoon, but the wedding got moved to August because the new church building isn't ready. So...doing things a little out of order, maybe we'll take another "honeymoon" trip in the fall!!!

Sounds great. I heard those cruises are awesome.

This isn't a burrito but I thought it was a bit of humor that might fit in here.

Just ate three delicious tacos today with 'El Scorcho' sauce upon them!

My favourite!

Oh nice, sounds yummy apart from the 'El Scorcho' sauce. Now that I have some decent hamburgar, tacos will be on my menu too once again.

sounds awesome!

Believe me - it was

I've spoken with our own Exarch quite a few times - [ I'm usually greeted with a hug and a triple kiss ] but this is the first time I've met with as senior a Hierarch as our Patriarch - he's young and very charismatic and has the knack of making you feel that you really are important to him

I also met and chatted with him in a very informal situation as well over the weekend.

I've said it before and I'll doubtless say it again - our Eastern Clergy [ meaning both sides ] seem so much more 'human' than Western clergy.

 

[Virgil the Roman]

That's alright. I like my Byzantine Archpriest, myself (even more so than quite a few Roman priests; although, there are a few exceptions). He's a very humble and mercy-giving man.

sounds awesome, and I could not agree more about the clergy (for the most part).

Sounds lovely.

Two days until I can finally have my first beer in over two months. The very thought of it is so satisfying I can almost taste it already!

 

[Anhelyna]

OH I'll bet you are now at the counting the hours stage

Hope after all this time it tastes good

lol Enjoy Better you than me. Beer isn't my thing

 

[ProScribe]

I think I'll have a Molson Canadian beer.

Mmmm... Guinness...

lol okay dokay Now I know I'm not the only one here that isn't a beer fan so...hands up people I prefer a cooler or some such. Although I'm not suppose to drink considering my muscle meds.

Funny thing is the other day a few of us were talking about how Guiness is actually a healthy beer and therefore good for you. Plus it was made by a priest (or pastor; at least that's what a shipmate said) and thus God wants us all to have Guiness

T-minus twenty-four hours and counting.

and since it's a heavier beer, you prolly won't drink as much (it's sometimes like a meal unto itself) so it's easier to avoid drinking too much. and it's delish, but you gotta wait til the bubbles settle when it is poured.

I know this is about three weeks old, but I promised that I'd post a picture from my graduation as soon as I had a laptop. More importantly the Taverna is on the second page which is nothing short of Arian-level heresy.


I'm on the left and my dad, who's a retired LT, is on the right. This was outside a restaurant that we went to after the graduation ceremony.

 

[Anhelyna]

Lovely picture - and possibly more importantly - HOW WAS THE BEER ?

Yayyy! Congratulations
