The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece.
The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

Camera critters: kids
Some people might call this kid 'cute'; others will think 'delicious'.
I don't mind the idea of eating but stop short when babies are mentioned and then eggs? I have eaten goat meat as meat (beef and pork) was rationed during the war and we could buy a front quarter of a goat pretty cheap and mom did. It would last a long time as we had no pay to keep it so she had to cook it up and either can it or put it in a crock and pour in all the grease to settle on top of the cooked meat. It was keep that was for a while longer.
goat meat is considered the best meat in greece for a roast or stew because it contains less cholesterol. younger animals are preferred because their meat is less chewy. it is also more expensive than lamb. the goats in this photo are not considered pets; they were definitely being raised for meat and milk (they have already disappeared from the field...)
This kid needs a hair cut..
ReplyDeleteOh that kid is so cute

ReplyDeleteSince, I'm a farmer, I must admit I can see both. I LOVE all farm animals... yet, I also accept the truth of farming life.
ReplyDeleteI must say though - that baby is awfully cute ;-)
