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.

Aliens in the kitchen
Calabrese, finnocchio, kohlrabi, all grown in Galatas, Hania.
If their size is gigantic then they're trully aliens! In addition, if they haven't "eatten" any medicines through their growth they're still aliens cause we use to eat poisoned vegetables!!!
I love turnips and used to dig them out of frozen ground and eat them raw. I also like the onions and am not sure of the other two but suspect we have them here too.
lol!
ReplyDeleteafter reading the title was expecting to see some unusual bugs!
