I don't know how to spell iot sorry.

I'm thinking of doing a mezze for friends coming voer for dinner tomorrow night, do you think this will be enough to stuff everyone?

And what ideas have you got please?

I have warmed pittas, hummus, falafel, bruschetta, cheese dipper items, fried halloumi in chilli and garlic, mozarella and tomatoes. Probably chips/ wedges.

If any one are meateaters you can try kofte - yum!!

Also you can buy / make Dolmades.

A block of feta, with oregano and big slice of beef tomato on top is delish cooked in the oven for a while...

Olives of course.

I love Kasir (it's basically Bulgar wheat in a spicey tomato sauce with diced onion, pepper and chilli - I am sure you can find the proper recipe online)

You've made me start to drool now

Me too and I can't get to the shops to buy anything!

What about a carrot salad it goes really well especially with the hummus and falafels. The best one I have made is from Nadia Swahalas book the recipe is below.

When you ask people what they would like for a meal,most people suggest the type of food you mention and how they could just eat that as it is easy and mostly finger food.

Roasted aubergines make a good dip with some chopped up onion and diced tomatoes to make melitzanosalata.

Lots of delis have marinated olives, not just plain. Lemon and garlic are nice. Also little meatballs on toothpicks.

I'm sorry Mirabelle

I have no inspiration either today, and I seriously don't want to go to the shops in the snow!

How about a pasta dish with homemade garlic dough balls? You can use posh ingredients, but you dont need much with pasta so it should be cheaper.

Was gonna suggest a mexican bean chilli as its really cheap to make and lovely in this weather, but if its for tonight you wont have time to soak the beans.

I get tinned beans I can't be dealing with soaking etc. Bean chiolli has been duggested twice, not sure my friend likes beans hmm, I might have to ask her.

I was in Asda last night and really dont want to go back to the shops tonight but it seems this is going to have to be the case.

It's not even snow thats a problem, its like a centimetre here, its my stinking attitude.
