Hello,

I hope everyone had  a pleasant weekend!  Ok, well I am not going to go into the weather situation here because all I can say is that it is just crazy.  So, I was out the door early this morning to run a few errands and was not able to post until now. 

I don’t know if it was me or because it’s Monday and the miscommunication between everyone is just off!! I had ordered a dog ramp to place on the car sit for Charlie. The ramp actually helps him and me, this way I can stop picking him up to put him in the car, Charlie weighs around 32 kilos, and If you are wondering yes that’s how much Basset Hounds generally weigh. It turns out that it was just to big and it didn’t fit in the car.  Anyway, it’s way too long of a story to write about and the whole he said, she said, they said pfff but at least I was able to return it. 🙂

When I was done with that I headed to the Supermarket.  As you already know from me, they are a challenge of their own, seriously I am not joking.  I have mentioned before that I have difficulties finding products, I came up with this great idea, I decided that once a month (starting from next month) I will be going to the Farmer’s Market in Amsterdam, or wherever they have Farmer’s Markets and of course let’s not forget Supermarkets!! that have a wider range of products than the ones I have in my area. 🙂   Too many recipes and so few products. 🙁 

I have not had the chance yet to celebrate new my part time job 🙂 amongst a few other things. 🙂 So, this weekend was the perfect opportunity to make this Cake.  A really very simple cake with just a few ingredients, a couple of hours in the fridge and it was done. 🙂

Have a great week everyone!!

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
