The reason I was looking, well, in 65/66 I lived in Matala in the caves for a couple of months, The village was tiny then and did'nt even have an oven. We walked to another village to buy bread, and occasionally a little meat. The meat was hacked from the hanging freshly killed sheep carcass and you just waited til the vendor was leoladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403384018343804922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011565341528115635.post-28733855404604385352010-09-25T17:28:12.750+03:002010-09-25T17:28:12.750+03:00As a great tea & infusion lover, I'm very ...As a great tea & infusion lover, I'm very interested in the aromas of these herbs (malotira & diktamo). In case you read this, Maria, how would you describe them? I hope one day I can get my hands on these herbs although I guess they might be difficult to find outside Greece (Crete)...Mayahttp://www.storiesfromemona.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011565341528115635.post-56424252013225484852009-08-06T19:40:55.568+03:002009-08-06T19:40:55.568+03:00Hi Maria-- I am looking back at some posts while y...Hi Maria-- I am looking back at some posts while you are on your staycation. Enjoy! I could use some dictamo since I have a summer cold. I had a bag of it but I think I might have sent it off with my sister. Thanks for the nostalgic look at tea. --SifSifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145396813709375480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011565341528115635.post-12869636719362256112008-03-14T06:51:00.000+02:002008-03-14T06:51:00.000+02:00Very interesting.

I'm currently reading "The Omnivore's Dilemna" which gives some pretty alarming information about the results of giving manufactured food to animals that ought to be grazing, so this struck a chord with me. <BR/><BR/>On a happier note, your post gave me some extra enthusiasm to get out of the house and hit some fields around here to pick up vrouves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011565341528115635.post-34333020411535592052008-03-14T04:21:00.000+02:002008-03-14T04:21:00.000+02:00Your uncles way is best, no doubt about it.

He called those people the "I've got mine, you'd you make out" crowd - those people who can't think beyond their own personal interests. As for diktamo (dittany), I've read it's an aphrodisiac...not that a Cretan ever needs such a thing, mind you! :-)Laurie Constantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662040688336742830noreply@blogger.com
