Fish and Crepes

What, you don’t eats fish with your crepes? We don’t either. But on our fourth day in Serifos we decided to head down to the port first thing and get some fish for dinner.  We usually eat dinner out but since we were making dinner at home and we were already in town, we decided to get some breakfast out.

First we picked up our fish.  The fisherman had just brought them in and we were super excited.

Our wonderful nanny, Maria, who is always full of such fun Filipino old wives tales (even though she’s only 25 🙂 told me that when kids have two cow licks they’re said to be VERY naughty….see picture below of Adam’s two cowlicks.

I don’t know who was more excited to get the fresh fish, Adam or me. I love that Adam loves all things fish, Nemo and shark related but also loves to eat fish.  I was worried he would feel bad eating fish but it’s still his favorite thing to eat.  We never have enough fish because I always underestimate that Adam can eat almost a whole small fish by himself.

After we picked our fish and the fisherman cleaned it for us, we headed out for breakfast.  Adam is obsessed with pancakes and Greece is obsessed with crepes, a match made in heaven.  Adam got a yummy chocolate crepe and juice and we got eggs…and I may have had a crepe as well.  When in Greece.  Oh and coffee, did I mention coffee.  Oh Greece, I really love you and I love frappes so we are also a match made in heaven.  And Randy loves strong Greek coffee, ok you get the point.

After having Greek yogurt and honey for breakfast every day since we arrived it was a nice change (don’t get me wrong, we could all have Greek yogurt and honey every day and be happy) but it was nice to have breakfast out by the port. We liked it so much we lingered for a while.

The breakfast place, Meli is one of our favorites in Serifos. 
They had Adam’s favorite ice-cream (strawberry just like his daddy 🙂 and whenever we went this happened. 

Why yes, those are strangers holding and kissing my baby.  But it’s so hard to tell Greek shop owners they can’t take you baby and walk around the store or take him into the kitchen. This happens ALOT  Luckily Malcolm likes anyone and everyone that will give him a cuddle.  And thankfully he’s my second child so I’m more willing to share, as long as I get him back of course. 

After breakfast it was beach time then nap time and then bath time followed by a yummy fish dinner that Randy cooked for us.  

We brought along a Greek cookbook to test out and we used one of the recipes for the fish. It was delicious.

After dinner we headed into town for an ice-cream and some World Cup watching.  A pretty great day.
