I'm so glad that her family took the time to stop here. <br /><br />Thank you for the tip on the meteor shower! Unfortunately I was sleeping and missed everything! And, we have very clear skies out here. Maybe I'll catch another one! <br />Thank you & have a wonderful Wednesday :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147148590536843781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-48117193173022056152009-10-21T00:09:06.978+03:002009-10-21T00:09:06.978+03:00Cheryl,

I especially liked the one of the "girls" all wearing pink tops: Maria, your little girl, and even Gigi sporting her pink harness.<br />Incidentally, tonight is a meteor shower courtesy of Halley's Comet. The best viewing is after midnight and before dawn of Wednesday. As your family lives out in the countryside, without light pollution, the display could be spectacular. Pop outside and watch them shoot by if you are up late.Biddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781429831664343372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-86336030042295723472009-10-20T21:23:59.125+03:002009-10-20T21:23:59.125+03:00Mel,

Look at it this way, if you don't eat them, he can eat them for a few days on his own and he'll be a happy man. (not that he isn't...:P)<br />Let me know if you try them!!<br /><br />Phivos...yes, she is. She's helped me more than she realizes!<br />Have a great night :)<br /><br />Maria...you are so right. I love when I make these, it makes Kosta so happy. Sometimes I think too happy, but happy nonetheless. :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147148590536843781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-38467201011094307332009-10-20T19:22:26.677+03:002009-10-20T19:22:26.677+03:00beans are favorite with most men in greece - you k...beans are favorite with most men in greece - you know what they say: love passed through the stomach!Maria Verivakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440852486788630957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-41283551106278070262009-10-20T19:21:22.308+03:002009-10-20T19:21:22.308+03:00Maria is a gigandas in cooking!!!Maria is a gigandas in cooking!!!Phivos Nicolaideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149376242558001013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-81090474624037319582009-10-20T16:36:43.400+03:002009-10-20T16:36:43.400+03:00Ok, I can't let my husband see this recipe for...Ok, I can't let my husband see this recipe for gigandes, or he'll make me make it.

Can't wait to see you again!!!<br />xo<br /><br /><br />Jude, I wouldn't step on Cretan soil without first making a date with you, silly! It would be wonderful to get together one day. Maybe we should work on it! <br />Our conversations were in English, but Greek was spoken as well. It was like any other day in my house, transitioning between the 2 languages. It's always great to listen to bilingual children play together. <br />Have a great afternoon Jude:)<br /><br /><br />Liz, <br />Thank you! I love your blog too. I give you so much credit for what you're doing. You must be exhausted all the time-but what's great is that you're not too exhausted to share your process. <br /><br />Enjoy your afternoon!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147148590536843781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-91326782965456691472009-10-20T12:21:36.382+03:002009-10-20T12:21:36.382+03:00What a lovely post.
