Taramosalata (Fish roe salad - meze)

  Photo taken from Athinorama Umami Taramosalata There are also the Greek classics, think something like a dip but instead of using nachos or vegetables to eat them we use bread. Taramosalata is one of those dishes.   It is roe fish blended into a creamy pink dip of pureed potatoes with parsley, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion (optional).   In meze, this is one of the first dishes that it is served.   In taverns, they always bring it along with salad, tzatziki, and tahini.   We will talk about the last two later.   Well, let’s see our recipe…   Ingredients 2 kg tarama (fish roe). 1 large potato or two small ones 450gr of Greek bread 1 tsp of shredded and dried onion 1 cup olive oil The juice of one lemon (medium size) Tarama is the hardest ingredient to find, so it is a good idea to look at groceries that import Mediterranean food. It is usually sold in larger jars, but you can store the remainder in the freezer for mon...

  1. Eva: I am so sorry no one answered.

    I'm even sorrier that I can't help. I don't do facebook or twitter and I don't have a blog (yet.. I'm playing with the thought.)

    We have had so many in our family die of cancer.... breast, pancreatic, melanoma and the list goes on.
    At the moment I'm waiting to hear if the tumor in my arm is cancerous.

    I will be praying that you have a rush of comments that fill the criteria.

    God Bless you for doing this.

  2. Cancer is a frightening disease because the cause is difficult to pinpoint and because it is initially invisible and may not prompt a trip to the doctor. Fortunately many forms of cancer do respond well to treatment. Because it is initially invisible, and because it becomes more prevalent in Middle Adulthood, it is important to schedule annual exams, or at least do self-exams regularly, beginning in Middle Adulthood. The earlier it is identified that easier the treatment and recovery. At 40 I started going for annual mammograms, but learning that radiation can be one of the environmental risk factors makes it a confusing choice to make. I did not go this year (also partly do to changing health insurance coverage). And, I do not examine my own breasts for lumps. I wonder if it would help to teach young children to do this so that it becomes habit by middle age (or I need to practice some self-discipline!) And, men also need to make at least annual visits, for prostate exams, and give themselves regular testicular exams.
    While some cancers such as breast cancer appear to be genetic, there are also environmental risk factors that we can address as a form of prevention. Preventive measures include: good nutrition; no smoking; limit alcohol use, exposure to sunlight, exposure to radiation, and occupational toxins such as asbestos. When these are part of our environment we can practice moderation, while we advocate for improvements in the environment. Schedule regular doctor appointments because early detection is key to maintaining wellness.

  3. I think many young adults do not comprehend the seriousness of the disease. I don't think a person should wait until their middle adulthood to start thinking about the seriousness of a healthy lifestyle. Although many forms of cancer may not be identified until middle adulthood, a person should not put off annual exams and other types of examinations that can potentially help them in the later years. Many particular liefstyles, i.e.: smoking, diet, exposure to cancer causing agents such as sunlight may raise their chances of coming down with such a disease. It's important that as a young adult, a person should take into consideration all the consequences of what such a lifestyle can potentially lead too, whether it is good or bad. Starting awareness early in life and once all the psychological factors come into play, such as making choices involving every day matters, will eventually lead to a longer and healthier life span. Environment can also play a big part in an individual's health and can be a result of having a bad illness. It's important to realize the envireonment you live in. Figure out ways to make it better and safer in every aspect to lower your risk of any illnesses.

  4. I agree. Many people do not adopt a healthy lifestyle and continue to believe in personal fables from their youth that make them think such diseases will never happen to them. As noted in my Dev Psych class this semester, as we age, diseases like cancer are more likely to impact our lives. For example, as a child, I experimented with smoking cigarettes and ended up smoking for many years before I finally had the willpower to quit. It is key to educate and set examples for folks to follow from a young age when bad habits may develop. Awareness and following up on regular check-ups with doctors is an important part of preventing illnesses such as cancer. My dear friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She caught it early and is doing all she can to fight it. Despite the healthy lifestyle she leads, she was a victim and her case highlights that working with health care providers to get regular checkups is needed to stay as healthy as we can be.
    Best Regards,

  5. ll encounter is lighting but this could be solved as soon as the venue is lit up.
    She arrived, in her late teens, at La Guardia airport and took a taxi cab to Times
    Square. Velazquez inside the 17th century and current young painters in vast quantities
    reflected the Spanish art background and skills.

  7. Whule free accounts cannot schedule updates in bulk, it is possible to still schedule as many updates ass yoou like
    individually. This iis something which sociaql websites can easilyy
    afford a smaller business. Clean mineeal water gained the third
    spot, having a fridge the 4th whille NHS bagged the sixth spot.

  12. Any videos/shows/sites that let you see living in other states
    is like? Trying to decide where to move? I ve
    been looking for either a TV/video series, website,
    etc that explores different states in the US and shows what
    it s like to live there, like weather, attractions, cities, people, etc in each state.
    All I can find is sites ranking each state based on personal opinion. You can pick up various hints watching various YouTube vlogs,
    like you see a fair bit of Ohio by watching Roman + Dale Atwood and
    their friend's uploads to YouTube.. * Roman Atwood vlogs *
    Dale Atwood * Gilroy Vlogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxghNOXk... *
    Jon Cormany Vlogs They're all based along the road heading East from Columbus out towards Buckeye Lake.
    For seeing Texas, you see quite a bit of it on "OfftheRanch" (a vlog by
    Matt from DemolitionRanch) + his Dad has a channel too: "Out on the Ranch (with Dr Lee)".

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dobivn3j... For Minnesota, there's a prank
    couple called "Nikki and John Vlogs" by a couple who've recently moved back there from California.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10lvJ9I2... "Ad & Kate" shows you a bit of Georgia "Taras Kul" (aka "CrazyRussianHacker") gets
    out and about in the western side of North Carolina occasionally "Alex Mandel Vlogs"
    (Howie's son) regularly gets out and about in California around Santa Monica
    "Casey Neistat" regularly goes around New York City, and
    occasionally down to Houston to visit his in-laws + Connecticut to visit his own parents.
    There's also an assortment of Dashcam + Trainspotting channels on there that lets you get
    a bit of a candid view of things going on around the US.
    You can also pick-up a feel for various places by exploring via Google Earth + Google Streetview.

  13. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into
    starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to
    get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty
    penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers
