Kehl am Rhein
Kehl, Germany, just a bridge away from Strasbourg.Often a part of Strasbourg, the city (approx. 36.000 inhabitants), became totally German last in 1953. A shopping town for us strasbourgeois, as many things are cheaper there: food, petrol, tobacco... It's about 17 mn from Strasbourg city centre by tramway.
More about it's chaotic history here.

October theme day: my response to COVID
You live only once... I was supposed to fly to Istanbul in march, on a gastronomical holiday, but my flights were cancelled. So, let's cook Turkish and other foreign food at home! Nevertheless, to fight cabin fever, I travelled when it became possible, Croatia in August, Crete in September, always checking the COVID stats before. Gorgeous food in both countries!
More COVID responses here.

Orgy
Culinary promises? Or something else? The restaurant was closed when I passed by, so I didn't participate... :-) Anyway, good reviews on several websites. Normal kosher websites ;-)

Nikos Kazantzakis
Nikos Kazantzakis is, and remains one of my favourite authors. I discovered him in my youth, and he shaped it.
I can't't go to Crete without visiting his tomb.Every time.
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

Greek, for: a Monday Mural. Mia toichografía ti Deftéra.
Well, running out of murals, I went to look for them on the island of Crete, Greece. Bingo! There seems to have been a mural "championship" in Herakleion, the island's capital, beautiful ones. Enjoy!
