The snow outside my attic -2001.... (by Sylvietsak)

Dear IVADIS Greece has so many different but beautiful images any time of the year that you are not able to see its beauty so quickly..you have to visit it many times to see... Regards from a rainy Athens that was shiny in the morning.. Sylvie...

Dear Sylvietsak, I know it... The same thing happens to me with so many places of the world, but our knowledge bases on many learned topics and the only thing that give the knowledge is to submerge in the country escaping of the tourist current circuits. Thank you for your work that I estimate very much. I would like know a recipe of Greek food and some Greek wine that is worth knowing.With afectíon. Ivadis

My dear IVADIS it is easy for me to write a recipe ..but if you open google and write what you want you will find many recipes..If you want something specific just write it..about the wines ask better Alexis... World is not anymore as we knew it..there are so many changes.. In the past we hadn't so much snow in Athens suburb..it is close to the mountain Penteli but it was rare..now it is almost every winter... Sylvie...

Dear Sylviestsak Certainly that in Google I can find them, only I am asking for your opinion about a Greek plate or a wine that you like, as a personal vision of your country, the recipe if that I can find her but not a plate and a wine I specify that you like it do you understand me? With regard to the changes, I think that they are cycles that repeat themselves .The time and the history they will say it. Thank you for sharing your ideas.Ivadis

Y*...I KNOW IT DOES NOT MATTER TO YOU.I could not resist me to see it again.

Zaman thank you for the Y*

I am overwhelmed,dear Sylvietsak your you are really very nice. This weekend in my country house will try to do this recipe. I think that it will be OK with a red wine with something of degrees. I cannot send the flavor, but at least I will try to send a photo. Best Regards from As Neves. Ivadis
