art
Today, lovely Celia had the kindness to share with us an excellent post about the 18th Biennale of Sydney.
I’d like to add a link concerning Documenta, an international exhibition of modern and contemporary art in Kassel, Germany, Europe. Exhibition dates for Documenta13 , the “museum of 100 days” are 9/6 – 16/9, 2012.
A new interesting hellenic cultural event open till 29/9/12 is that one of Santorini Biennale of Arts 2012, Thíra, Greece (see also here). Last but not least, of eternal (=ἀέναον, aenaon) interest the Acropolis museum .
loving this week
Linking up with the cityhippyfarmgirl today, inviting us to tell about little lovely moments in our week..
Well I’m loving this week and every week of our long-lasting hellenic summer (apr-nov).
I’m loving breathing in the sea mistral morning cold air, swimming every day in crystal clear light-blue waters, sea-diving in a swarm of small fishes, and baby lessepsian ones.
I’m loving taking long evening walks across the city coastline road, enjoying the afternoon breeze mixed with fragrants of frangipani flowering plants and eucalyptus’ leaves..
Pure bliss!
the vegetable that everyone forgot- Frugal Friday
Cauliflower.
Remember that one? It's got a bad rep, as the tastless tree like cousin of broccoli. It's not though.
In season now, it's cheap, tasty and adaptable to oodles of dishes... just right for Frugal Friday.
Cauliflower and Potato Soup
A splash of olive oil
Half a head of cauliflower
One large zucchini
Six small dutch cream or kipfler potatoes (the waxy kind)*
Say hello, again, to Luis and David from Paris Boheme, Lucca
My last evening in Italy was spent at Paris Boheme in Lucca. It has become one of my favourite places to eat in Lucca. I love the food and the setting, but mostly I love Luis and David who run the restaurant.
My friends and I are always greeted warmly and we know we are in for a fun evening.
Scipione e la nebbia
In Italia Scipione, qui oggi la nebbia agli irti colli.... ovvero: nebbia sul mare, maglione di lana, riscaldamento acceso. Anche per gli standard inglesi è un'estate molto piovosa.
Questo influisce non poco sui prodotti disponibili per la cucina: tutto in mega ritardo. Da due giorni non mi consegnano i pomodorini: solo robaccia olandese disponibile. Evidentemente anche a livello importazioni ci sono problemi.
cornetfishes at SE Aegean Sea
we spot these baby cornetfishes every day at SE Aegean Sea waters (island of Kos), visible even with swimming goggles at a 50cm sea-depth!
