Extra.... Cold

The first snow fell on the tops of the mountains opposite Poros 

A quick cold snap is passing through.  By Wednesday it will all be over


Those clouds are dumping snow
So exciting for us
It doesn't happen every year


The view from Elli's balcony

I remember when we used to live there. Those snow clouds will leave a good covering


The olive groves at the top of those hills.  The olive trees like a bit of snow. The crop should be a good one this year


What to do when it's freezing outside? 

K cooked broad beans


And I made garlic sauce which always accompanies broad beans
The sauce is made from bread soaked in water, vinegar and plenty of garlic and olive oil


K eats it spread on bread
And he stinks of garlic for days
I made it good and strong


And while that was going on I kneaded a small loaf of bread too


Warm and cozy
All day long
With plenty of olive and oak wood

  1. I like the look of that sauce. I may try to make something similar.
    Does K skin his broad beans or does he eat them in their jackets?

    1. In their jackets lol. The broad beans are fresh and not too big and tough. They need de stringing I think, like some beans. K cooks them, and eats them. He boils them with dill, onions, garlic, oregano, lemon juice and of course olive oil.
