A wonderful gift from a wonderful friend

Posted on April 3, 2018

When I returned home last week from running some errands, I found a package left on my doorstep.  Now, I knew very well I had not ordered anything, so I thought to myself this must be a mistake.  I looked at the sticker on the package and my name was on it, I could not for the life of my understand what this might be.

Entering the house I started to open the package and I became very very emotional, someone had sent me the Cook Book that my recipe was published in.  I was trying to find some sort of paper that would say who it was from but there was nothing, absolutely nothing, so I had no way of thanking this person who was so kind to send it to me. 

So, once I got myself together (because I did cry), I started to think that not many people have my home address, I asked my friend next door if she had sent it but she said no, so who in the world could have sent this hmmm. After a while I started to think that only one person knows my address from my blogger friends, now this remarkable woman/sister/friend made this beautiful gesture and I am still moved/touched/emotional…so let me tell you who this woman is Dee dee from Invisible-no-more.  I found out it was Dee dee because I contacted her and her response was YEP hehehahahaha…  

I mentioned in a previous blog that Dee dee was one of the first blogs that I started to follow and with that came Dee dee’s friendship. I wanted to share this with you because she is a remarkable woman and a true sister/friend so close to my heart. 🙂

Thank you Dee, Love you very much and always will!!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
