Isn’t that a beautiful looking crepe? So pretty the way it’s folds look like ruffles! This one is filled with chocolate and banana. I don’t know, I would think it impossible to have a bad day when it’s started with something as lovely as this! Read More
Good Morning Everyone!
Are you enjoying my Greece Food Diary mini-series so far? We’re almost at the end, only two more entries left after this one. I want to go back just for the fare… Read More
You are so innocent sitting there on the menu sweet crepes. I know I see you at every creperie we go to, but somehow, you are overlooked. Darren finally ordered a sweet crepe, and I don’t mean full of fruit with Read More
Starting the day with crepes! Above, Darren’s is banana with mango and honey sauce, below, mine is stuffed with tomato and cheese, and we shared a nice thick orange juice. If only it wasn’t so much more work than cereal, I would have these every day at home! Read More
We wanted to check out a restaurant called Ephessus while we were on the island of Paros so we thought we’d pop by for lunch on our first day there. We were greeted by the owner who told us we’d be better to go some place else for lunch and come back to his restaurant for dinner. So lunch ended up being gyros and souvlaki at the port. Read More
Big, thick, waffles with ice cream and caramel sauce for brunch, what I was thinking I have no idea. Really tasty, but super sweet, I was on a sugar-high for most of the morning. Darren was more sensible, ordering custard. Great fresh fruit drinks again too! If fruit weren’t so expensive here I might start making these at home. Read More
We rented a scooter and explored the island of Naxos. Lunched in Apiranthos; cheese pie, pork with tomato sauce, and spaghetti, from a cozy courtyard cafe. I now love cheese pie, and spinach pie too. Oh, and spinach and cheese pie. It might be the simplicity – layers of phyllo with cheese, I really need to start making this more at home. Read More
This time from a cafe called Chocolat on the island of Naxos. Darren ordered a Greek salad crepe full of tomato, feta, green peppers, and lots of salty olives. I ordered one that said it was filled with cheese, mustard sauce, and sausage, Read More
We sipped on fruit juices while we waited for our ferry to whisk us away from Santorini to Naxos. The juices on Santorini were lovely! I’m pretty sure they just take the fruit that you want, put it in a blender Read More
our last order of greek pastries
On this day in 2008 was our last full day in Greece. We got up early so we could bus across Paros to the port and catch a ferry back to the mainland. Don’t worry; we left plenty of time to get our last fix of Greek pastries. You can see at the back right is another chocolate baklava - so yummy. Read More »
