Tomato – the real thing

Greek biologic grown tomatoes

The tomatoes pictured in the photo are real and photoshop-free 🙂 They weight about 1,2 kg each and they have a shiny deep red color. You can even smell them when around! They are natural, pure, biologic products of the Greek land (Mesolongi area), grown with hard work and care only (guaranteed hormone free).

The experience of tasting them is unique – adding some grains of salt only are enough to offer an incredible light summer dinner!

Here are some Mediterranean tomato salad suggestions, that we usually make at home:

  • Tomato small bites with some grains of salt and olive oil
  • Tomato small bites with some grains of salt and balsamic vinegar
  • Tomato small bites with fresh mint, garlic, salt and balsamic cream
  • Tomato small bites with onion rings, green pepper , olives and feta cheese with some grains of salt, olive oil and oregano (typical Greek salad)

Summer time recharging

Long expected, the summer break is to busy, multitasking, constantly occupied city people what Christmas is to children. Change of scenery, daily routine and clothing. Water, sand, stones, wind, sun, night sky become part of you like never before. Simple, earthy elements that are now much more appreciated, enough to take you away from stressful thoughts and capture your eye for a moment. Deadlines are for a while not important and scheduling your day revolves around finding somewhere nice to swim, eat, walk or lay.

In the old ferry that takes us back to the city, after a very relaxing short escape in the Ionian sea, my head feels lighter and my eyes manage to stay focused in a single point with no distractions (nor guilty feelings). Looks like it was time worth spent!

Turning three

Anastasis' birthday cake - 3 years old!

Anastasis’ pirate birthday cake – 3 years old!

Can’t believe that the tiny little creature with the funny face and the wide-open dark chocolate eyes I hold in my arms some time ago, today turns three years old! Can’t really remember how was life before and without him… He came and changed everything. In a meaningful way!

He is a little pirate, who fights for the things he wants, turns everything around making strange sounds, experimenting with his power over people and things and sleeps late in the night after having seized the whole day to the end! Constantly in an energetic mode, he has cultivated a sound understanding of the world, a good sense of humor and an adorable social aptitude .

That’s our son, and I’m so proud of him! Happy birthday Anastasis!

Rational behind this blog

The lack of time to connect with dear friends and chat about the things we care – serious or small talk! – urged me to start this blog instead. The topics are high-level categories of the discussions we would have in real life and various settings – from a lunch break with colleagues, to a summer time dinner with friends over wine, to a girls-only coffee gathering ranging from home decoration to personal confessions.

For a long time now I’ve been observing blogs and how other people use them to communicate and interact. A lot of thought was given concerning the objective, the approach, the theme, the tone, the point-of-view, the content and all the distinguishing elements that make up a blog. After silent considerations and fruitful dialogue with my inner self for some time, this blog as you see it came so naturally to me and it finally looked the right thing to do.

It is a conscious decision to keep it personal – but not private – and discuss about the things that interest me and those that attract my attention:

I count on my dear friends to contribute to this online meeting point, just like they would do in person, sharing and exchanging information, opinions, feelings…

At the end of the day…these are the things that matter (at least to me)!
