On the 6th of January and a recipe

I had prepared this post but with this and that (it is January 22nd already?) I didn't post it so here it is.
On Epiphany Day January 6th, still off school, I prepared a meal for my brother and sis, my mum and so it happened Frieda, my friend from Skiathos, was here too.

 Simple decor. Glass Christmas trees all gifts of my brother. Ionia porcelain china dishes.

 The coasters were last year's Christmas present from my dear friend Cathy in England.

We finished our meal with Orange pie.Delicious!Thanks to my drama club friend Areti for giving me this recipe.

Orange pie recipe
Ingredients

1 carton of yoghurt (200gr)
1 glass of corn oil
1 glass of sugar
1 glass of fresh orange juice
5 eggs
zest of three oranges
vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 packet of pastry sheets(phyllo, not puff)

Turn on the oven to 180 degrees.
Crush the pastry sheets into small pieces and put them in the baking tray.
Mix all the rest of the ingredients together and add them on the pastry sheets.
Bake for about 40 minutes.
When we take it out of the oven and  it is cold we add the syrup.

How to make the syrup.
Add in a saucepan 1 and a half glasses of water, one glass of fresh orange juice, 2 cups sugar, vanilla and cinammon and bring to the boil. Pour over the pie.

Epiphany Day.

One day the weather is fantastic like on Thursday when we went for coffee with our friends and the next day it is windy, rainy and cold and you have to stay inside.
One good thing was that we had invited my brother's family for lunch so we didn't have to go out.
I spent the morning cooking and we had fun around the table and afterwards trying to take a family picture to send to relatives and friends abroad.
Setting the table....
 Mum's rice,various cheeses and ham,green salad, three coloured salad, beef stroganoff, cheese salad with olives,mum's stuffed vine leaves...and not in the photo rabbit stew....

 Desserts.....various chocolate from around the world.......

 Chocolate mousse and strawberry jello....

 Vasilopita(New Year's pie) made by my best friend Gia....and Maija watching!

 My niece can make you say cheese in seconds but you can't stop laughing afterwards!
