I'm back! After an almost three week hiatus, I'm back in the kitchen. I'm hoping to get on a more normal schedule here, hopefully posting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm also planning to venture into the world of cooking as well as baking. Afterall, a girl can't live on sugar alone (though I would try if it wouldn't require me to buy bigger pants on a weekly basis).
I've always had a love for Greek food. Five years ago (wow, that seems so long ago) I had the opportunity to study abroad in Athens, Greece. It was an eye opening experience for more than one reason. First, I was introduced to a culture entirely different from my own. The language, the food, the history - all of it was completely foreign to me. I was immersed in an urban setting for the first time in my life. I was introduced to public transportation, daily riots in front of the parliament buildings and anti-American sentiment. The trip as a whole gave me a broader understanding of the world around me and taught me to respect cultures different from my own.
