I like steaks, sausages and fish on the grill. My preference would be steaks, but not for PIO's DH.

I like steak (filet), hamburgers and fish on the grill, but mostly I now broil my fish in my countertop broier/oven.

 

[PrincessInOz]

If we find large open capped mushrooms, DH is more than happy to have those.

I think we should be able to find some! When I have my car down there, I'll check out some of the stores. I haven't been out to see if any local stores have the haloumi. Does the pronunciation sound like salami, or is there an extra syllable?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Salami is close....

Ha-lou-me. The "lou" is pronounced like the name.

Great! Now I have to remember that! I always have a problem with asiago...my mind thinks that the g is before the i and I want to say asagio.

 

[PrincessInOz]

I have every confidence you'll remember!

 

[PrincessInOz]

We have a big Greek community in Melbourne.

The other cheese that they use for Saganaki is kefalograviera or kefalotyri cheese. I have problems remembering this cheese!

BUT....if you can't find haloumi, you could always substitue with kefalograviera.

What can I say except "You don't know me!"

 

[PrincessInOz]

If you're at the World and happen to go past Cat Cora's place...go in and try her saganaki. I'm pretty sure she uses kefalograviera cheese for her dish.

 

[bobbiwoz]

OK...I had dinner there twice this year and enjoyed them both!

 

[klmall]

BUMP to keep this thread active (and I'm thinking about going.....have to see how $$$ work out and where to stay)

 

[bobbiwoz]

I've been thinking ahead, and have penciled in points for Sept. 28, 29, 30, Oct. 1, 2, 3. In pencil, so we'll see what the consensus is!

I sure hope, that the time works for you, Kathy!

I've looked at cheese counters in stores, but until re-reading I forgot what I was looking for!

 

[franandaj]

I was hoping more for October 1 - 8ish than into September.

 

[PrincessInOz]

School holidays run from 21 Sep - 6 Oct. I was hoping to take an extra week at the end; but won't know for sure until I talk to the teachers next year.

What about Kitty? Are you checking this thread and if so do you have preference for dates?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I won't know what dates I might be there until I figure out when I'm starting school, so I'll have to get back to you guys

 

[PrincessInOz]

You're up early!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I'm actually still up Can't sleep for some reason.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Do you know if there are semester breaks for cul school?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I don't think so. I think it's just nine months straight, then the externship.
