Thanks. We hope to have a Roman feast this week or next and it is helpful to see how you did it.

This looks great fun! We’ve just been to a huge Pompeii exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria – it would be fantastic to do this right now. Mind if I copy?

We are getting ready to do our Roman Celebration as a way to wrap up Yr1 and transition into Yr2. I was so excited to see your recipe for “Dormice” as I hadn’t yet come up with a meat to serve. Great idea! Thanks!

Your Triclinium with the couch cushions and table leaves is very inventive! I pondered taking ours to the floor, but the thought of the mess (and my cleaning it up)drove me back to the table. :-) Great job!

Our Ancient Roman feast had a bean salad with tomatoes. I found the recipe in "Classical Kids" and remember it stating that the Ancient Romans did not have potatoes or tomatoes. Why did they include them in the recipe I am now asking myself? My dh would have rejoiced over a more traditional Greek salad with the feta and kalamata olives. Maybe we will do that the next go-round!
