Today has already been a busy day. I had to get a haircut, grocery shop, do some cleaning, do the laundry, make home made mac & cheese, make an improvised gluten-free "shortcake" by modifying the Pamelas Banana Bread recipe (making some guesses there), and prepping the strawberries.
I will end up doing all of the cooking and everything else, but I won't get to as much cleaning as I wanted.
Honestly, our two-day stopover in Patmos was a lucky coincidence that came about through a name mix-up 😂 patmos, piraeus... 🧏♀️ I don't know... thanks to my legastenic brain and the stressy situation at the ferry ticket office 🤷♀️
The ferry crossing was already amazing 🤩, but when we arrived in Patmos and were warmly welcomed at the vegan restaurant 'Pernera' with our loaded bicycles, we were very happy about this confusion 🥰 !
Sidenote: The neighboring shop initially wanted to send us away and said we should park our bikes in the parking lot at the harbor... yea of course... not!
In the beautiful 'Pernera', we enjoyed a vegan and gluten-free menu, prepared with love from organic and local ingredients 🫠. And besides the delicious food, our souls were nourished by the inspiring and motivating conversations we had with the people there 🫶
The search for a campground in the picturesque small bays was a bit challenging. Either the beach was too narrow for a tent or private. Fortunately, it was still off-season, and we were able to set up our inner tent in the bay 'Kampos Beach' next to the beach bar, as the beach taverns and sunbed rentals were not yet active.

Heute ist es endlich mal wärmer als die vergangenen Tage und auch nicht ganz so windig - eine gute Gelegenheit also für einen #Ausflug im schönen #Cuxland, z. B. mit dem #Fahrrad, zu Fuß, mit dem #Motorrad oder mit dem #Pferd (Wiese zum grasen direkt an der #Café-Terrasse)! 🥰
What a view, and what an amazing campspot 😍 So lucky we found this place around 25km after the city Silifke, beside an abandoned quarry... There we slept sooo good 😴
We had no reason to hurry, so we enjoyed the whole Morning only with the sound of nature 🥰
Marc took the opportunity to bake glutenfree flatbread for a nice brunch 😋 #turkey#freecamping#glutenfree#glutenfreebaking#cycling#bikepacking#travellifestyle#travelphotography
Last night I experimented with some greek-style flatbreads and then dinner was some coriander & cumin roasted chicken with garlic yogurt sauce.
Flatbreads were made with millet & hulled buckwheat flours, sweet rice flour, psyllium husk powder and ground white chia seeds. I still need to tweak the amounts, texture was slightest bit off, so less psyllium next time. #GlutenFreeBaking#GlutenFree
How have I never heard of this??? It's gluten free!
Masa Tiganitas is Sephardi Matzah Brei, But Much Better
Baklava meets matzah brei in this delicious Greek dish for Passover.
By Rachel Ringler | April 14, 2020
"...In Sternberg’s version, matzah squares are soaked in milk, dipped in a combination of egg and yogurt and then fried in oil. As opposed to matzah brei, or bumelos de masa, the matzah in Sternberg’s recipe is not crushed. They are left whole, dunked, fried and then sweetened with a drizzle of honey or arrope (a syrup made of grapes), and topped with a sprinkling of walnuts. Think fried matzah meets baklava. I am in love.

There is gluten free matzah! Yehuda brand and of course the big M both have widely sold varieties you can get in several different supermarkets. There are probably also some other brands, but here in flyover country we don't have a big selection.
Today's big project was making myself a crepe cake for my birthday. But not just any crepe cake--a gluten free crepe cake with ube crème pâtissière and butterfly pea flower whipped cream.
I have the first stage done, the crepes are stacked with the crème pâtissière (which is delicious) and chilling overnight. Tomorrow I'll finish up with the whipped cream.
@Steve_p_photos it’s good stuff! Is it REALLY like ciabatta? Well, it’s close enough. I had two of them a day, so I’m a fan. Doing a 1.5x size recipe this weekend to see if I can make them slightly thicker/bigger.
Welp. Without thinking, I slurped the last beer off the edge of the can that I'd poured for my husband. Normal wheat and/or barley beer. I washed my mouth out with water and gargled several times, but I'm pretty sure that I swallowed the beer.
RIP digestive system.
Worst of all, it tasted really good! 😭😭😭
(That was about two hours ago. No nausea or gut pain yet, but I am hearing gurgling.)
My wife got it post-covid.🤖 Seems to have started about 6 months post infection. (She's officially diagnosed w/ testing, not the "Oh you're bloated sometimes so..")
Was very severe initially. Now under (rotten) management. We very nearly lost her. 18 separate iron transfusions for crippling anemia.
