Second Chance - Chalkidiki, Greece
The first time Alkis and I spent a summer holiday in Chalkidiki was 10 years ago. I must admit that we were quite disappointed and since then we had excluded Chalkidiki as a holiday destination. In the summer of 2003, we spent a week in Kallithea situated at the first peninsula (called leg by th...

Buona sera Anastasia. I love your recipe. I will try it but maybe I can serve it with pasta?
Monday's Greek Recipe - Psaronefri Kokkinisto - Pork Fillet in Tomato Sauce and Cyprus Village Salad
Cooking is like blogging. Sometimes you are short of ideas or short of time or reluctant to put something on the grill for yet another day, or simply too lazy to try a complex recipe. There are days when you haven't planned your menu, take-away or delivery is not an option, yet you would like to...

July's Sweet Indolence
Have you ever felt the infinite pleasure of doing nothing but laze around or lie on the beach all day? Although I am, generally, a very active person, in July I recharge my batteries by indulging in indolence. I enjoy sleeping but I almost invariably get up at 7:00 am. I love having a siesta f...

Buonasera Anastasia. What a beautifull place!!! Thanks for all the great pictures. I am sure you enjoyed the italian food. The bruschettas look really very delicious. I do them often at home but I put tomatoes and basil after I rub the bread with olive oil and garlic. My kids like mozzarella for topping so sometimes I do them with mozzarella like the one you had. Another topping which it is very popular in my area is a kind of salami which it is called ventricina.

Fridays in June
I usually start classes early in the morning on Saturdays, so Fridays are almost like any other weekday. From September to May, they certainly don't herald the weekend as a time to relax or spend a wild night out, but, on the contrary, they invite me to go to bed quite early as I have to get up ...

Your mother is so beutifull and you look like her. Sometimes with my daughter who is 13 we are not get on very well and we fight for silly things. I know that I am not her best friend and I don't want to be because I am her mother but she know that I love her so much and if I am angry sometimes is because I want the best for her. 13 is a very difficult age and I am try to be patient :-)
My Mother
My mother and I don't always get along very well. More often than not, it seems that one of us is saying the wrong thing, presses the wrong buttons and, as a result, our conversations tend to be quite explosive! Yet, in our heart of hearts, we know that we love each other dearly. I always felt, ...

In my area in North Italy we have some awesome sunsets especially in the summer when the sky is clear.

Buonasera Anastasia. Right after Greece and with 126 points Italia was the only one country of the big 5 who dont have to pass semi-final that got a place in the 10 first countrys. I think that after our long absence for many reasons, Italy is now back to Eurovision. I watched the great show from Sweden with very good friends, we had homemade pizza that I made and beer. For me L'Essenziale is a great song which it should be number one! I agree with you, Anastasia, for the show from Sweden. Much better than the one from Bakou, Ajerbaijan last year.
