What a day today! :) We decided to spend some time with my lovely parents Costa & Sophie in Paphos, and it is pouring with rain! Suddenly Sunny Cyprus has turned into cold and rainy Cyprus! I personally think that the weather is confused... its supposed to be turning into Spring, not the other way round!   Its Tasty Tuesday time now, getting dark and a treat of home-made by Mama Sophie apple cake with hot freshly made custard cream is the best medicine in cold weather... Sitting by the fireplace and enjoying the last days of winter to the full!!   Yummy Home-Made Apple Cake with Custard Cream by Mama Sophie... soon on mama's blog  

Good Morning! Kalimera :) I'm up very early today and ready to share some Cypriot glory!  Inspirations from the island of love, the people I love! And today's inspiration comes from the woman who has inspired me most and brought me up to be who I am today... my mother Sophie! Friends and family know my dear mum who loves her herb garden and generally everything about gardening! Today I will feature a special Cypriot product all the way from mommy's garden, the long thin RED HOT PEPPER :) beware though, as innocent as it looks, this beauty can bite! They are hot & not for the weak taste buds! Here is a simple way of how I made this wonderful deco for my kitchen wall: 1) cut and wash all chilies 2) place them on a tray in the sun for about a day (till they dry a bit) 3) take a thin sewing needle and a long piece of twine (not thick so as not to break the pepper) and prick each pepper on the top brown part near stem and sew through them...
