I don’t live very close to any convenience stores although before I moved here, there used to be one close by apparently but has since closed up. There is a friendly small convenience store about 5 km away towards Keratea, but they are only open until 6PM, so I thought if I needed anything in […]

It’s not the clearest or best quality photo but mostly I took it to figure out what I was looking at out in the distance on the sea, towards the Island of Kea. I had been looking out when I spotted what appeared to be an odd-shaped craft that had me curious. My cheap binoculars

Artichokes are something I didn’t know much about until last year – although I’ve seen them for sale in grocery stores back in North America, I had no clue that they were produced from a big plant that is actually a thistle. When I moved into this house a year and a half ago, the

I don’t think Liam Neeson has too much to worry about in regard to the next rising up an coming Northern Irish born actor – but who knows? This past weekend, I played the role of Prince Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece at the Exarchos Carnival. I really wasn’t sure what I was getting myself

It’s not a great photo, but the best I could do at the time. We had arrived in Exarchos the evening before, and on Friday, decided to head out of the village to check on the olive grove and see how things were there at the end of February. While driving along the road, I

They have been through so much: Gale force winds, snow, ice pellets, a few nights of below freezing temperatures. Yet these tomato plants keep living and growing! Back in August, I was looking at the average temperatures for the coming months in my area and was curious if I could sew some tomato seeds at

The Wine And Garlic Steamed Mussels are truly to die for! And if you end up at The Port (Το Λιμανι), a “small plates” seafood restaurant in Lavrio, you’ll definitely want to order these tasty mussels. The problem is, there are also so many other yummy things on their menu, you might be tempted to
