Good Month – Kalo Mina

Written by Published on Updated on October 1, 2021 in Monthly Notes

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well.  Here we are again a new month, October full of new beginnings, and new goals.  Do you have any new goals for this month?  Maybe landing your dream job? or a new home or car?  Would love to hear from you.

As for me, well I do have a new beginning in my life.  We have decided to close the chapter in our book with NL and move on with our lives in another country and no it’s not Greece.   These past 10 years let’s just say have been quite challenging for us in NL and I will just have to leave it at that. So,  I guess most of you out there can understand that I am in the process of packing, boxing, and more at the moment. 🙂

As for my blog, I will be posting recipes when I have the opportunity.  I have already posted two new video reels on my IG account.  If you would like to see them all you have to do is pop over and check them out on @foodzesty.  I already do have a recipe in mind (pasta) which I think I will prepare tomorrow and will try to post next week.

So, my fellow foodie friends, this was my news for this month.  I would like to wish everyone a wonderfully productive, healthy  Kalo MIna – Good Month.

See ya soonnnnn!!

Sophie 🙂

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

    October already, and here I am still waiting for our summer to properly start in the UK 😂 If you don’t like being cold, don’t come to the UK. Pick somewhere warm and I’ll move too! Seriously though, I’m very sorry for how “challenging” (I bet that’s an understatement) things have been there. I guess you never know until you’re living somewhere what it’ll be like or how things change. It sounds like the right time for a fresh start and a new chapter. With you currently packing, do you have a new country in mind..? xxxx

      Hi Caz, Nope not moving to the UK :) A more to the south of Germany. (And it is an understatement) I absolutely agree with you, you only know a country only if you have lived there and not just traveled. :)
