Good Gracious, It's Greece! #3 - The Food

-
The best thing about Greece was the food. Good God, those Greeks can cook good food. *just incase the first sentence wasn't clear enough*. Ehm. So. Greece. Food. Greeeeeeeat.

I learned to love lamb there, had plenty of fresh seafood, tried octopus (the big giant one), learned the difference of squid and cuttle fish hahaha, and of course had moussaka, gyros, baklava and other traditional Greek dishes. Oh and every meal we had came with a basket of warm bread. The bread was ALWAYS served warm. So great.

Unfortunately, since I have delayed writing about this due to school deadlines, I can't recall most of the dishes' names.  -_____- So sorry, my bad. I remember that they always use plenty of herbs, red peppers, oh and their eggplant dishes are just exquisite! Anyway. Most of the food names I've forgotten, so please forgive the inaccuracy guys...


(clockwise) Greek Salad, spaghetti, stuffed squid, some other pasta dish *sorry guys*, pork/lamb chop 



(clockwise) Moussaka, probably yoghurt dipping with olives, stuffed calamari *may be*, kebab, Greek yoghurt with honey and slices of Baklava, creme brulee, Gyros.

(clockwise) THE EGGPLANT yeahh, beautiful warm bread, more beautiful basket of warm bread, grilled vegetables.
(clockwise) Moussaka, lamb with vegetables and pita bread, fish..., lamb (?) with some sort of rice... Omg ingatan eke payah maap...
cuttle fish

not exactly traditional Greek food, but this waffles were SO good!

OCTOPUS



This post concludes the series of my experience in Greece. All in all, I had a great time with Imee, Gaby, Albert, and Rivel. It was so fun going to these new places, experience such great food, and saw really good looking people. Hahaha. Oh well, Pywedont jarang ji baca blogku. :p

Even though every night during the holiday me and Imee had to make time to read journals and write papers, but nevertheless it was such a wonderful journey. 

I'm gonna end the Good Gracious, It's Greece! series with a picture of the delicious Gyros dish. Yum.

Hello! How's it going guys? Not all rainbows, reindeer, unicorns, and lollipops for me. But I'll survive. Today I'm going to do another post about manga. from Otoyomegatari - Kaoru Mori One of my all time favorite mangaka is Kaoru Mori. She's known for her manga Emma, Shirley, and most recently is Otoyomegatari or The Bride's Story. The last one, Otoyomegatari, is the most beautifully drawn manga I have ever seen. Oh-La-La!! The details are exquisite. It is sharp, charming, and realistic. Mori tells her story not only by words but most of the time through pictures. Loud ones. The other thing I love about her work is she often draws the smallest aspect of the characters' life but somehow relevant. Small aspects that you rarely see described by other mangakas. For example, the chapter about trousseau. Rather than describing everything with talking bubbles, Mori draws details and more details. Even the stitching process. Absolutely magnificent.

Cooking During Pandemic

-
 Due to the endless time spent at home, because of the corona virus, most people take up the hobby of cooking. I did too, for some time. But after I got pregnant, another impact of the pandemic I guess lol (BLESSING IN DISGUISE OK), I don't cook as much anymore. Because during the first weeks of my pregnancy I feel nauseous and vomit so much, I was very sensitive to smell and tastes.  I did made a youtube video of my cooking though. Who knows when I'll cook as much again in the future. Klik this link for the vid! https://youtu.be/dkY0KLennUM #didapuraja GEGARA CORONCES
