First of all I would like to thank you for your comments on my son’s school. It is true that elementary school here in Greece has become very demanding. I remember when I was a child, we learned how to multiply at the second grade and how divide at the third grade. My son is...
Now I have a problem. I have a 7 year old boy, who refuses to concentrate and study his lessons. Everyday I dread the time I return back home and have to help him study. It is like a nightmare for me. Especially now that the weather is getting better and better and days are...
As you will notice today there are two types of posts. One involves the usual recipe. The other one regards a visit we did in a ranch in the southern part of Greece and more specifically in Sofiko. But let’s take first thing first. My son goes to the 1st grade of primary school. He...
I told you that I had some crème patisserie left in my fridge from the éclairs. What I forgot to tell you is that, I had 6 egg whites left from my making of that crème. So, there I was trying to find what to do with those two ingredients that were stuck in my...
I was browsing my recipes, to find something not too loaded with calories, not too fussy, not too much. I have to tell you that I have lots and lots of recipes. My husband makes fun of me and he says that, if every day I cooked a different recipe, it would take me 5...

Summer has arrived in Greece and has settled for good. The temperature yesterday rose to 30° C. I wish I could be in beach swimming and sun-bathing. Instead, I continue my everyday routine. Anyway, summer vacations will come eventually. Until then I am trying to do things to accelerate my mood. Just like cooking for...
I am pretty busy during the week with work, kid etc. Thus, the only time I have to cook and test, so as to post about it, is on weekends. I was intrigued by Joanne’s Regional Recipes competition for a dish from Vietnam. I think most people know Vietnam from its war with the United...
I was trying to find an exotic recipe to make for me and my husband, since the kiddo would eat at my mother’s. You see, another good thing about having a child is that, most of the times you do not have the anxiety of what to eat. The child decides what we will eat...
I am sick. I have a bad cold. My throat aches and my nose is as red as a tomato. My husband is also sick. He is also having a fever. This is awful. The outside temperature is 27° C and we are sitting here wiping each other’s nose. Anyway, I hope by tomorrow, we...
