Today is another beautiful, albeit a very chilly day in the desert...it was 45 degrees earlier today...and yes people, it had me confused...lol. What I am not confused about is the Google Nexus 7 gift that the wonderful people at Staples sent me to try out.


First, I will not tell a lie...I am addicted to technology, just as much as I am addicted to cheese!


I look for a few things in my gadgets...they must be easy to use, have a clear screen with high resolution, ability to re-size my images on the screen, battery life, and GB.

 
I told you I was a technology addict. The Google Nexus 7 has all this and more.


Look how clear the screen is and I love the fact that you can minimize or increase the photo size easily. 


This is a food bloggers dream, no more carrying my laptop downstairs to cook. I just bring my Google Nexus 7 and I have everything I need at my fingertips... and look at all the goodies that are programmed into the Google Nexus 7.
  • 1.2MP front facing camera and 5MP rear camera shoots great looking photos and videos
  • Built in 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth v4.0
  • Pre-loaded with Google Search by Voice 2.1, Gmail, Contact Sync, Calendar Sync, Talk, Maps, Street View, News & Weather, YouTube, Movie Studio, Android Market
  • Built-in microphone
  • Includes 1 SlimPort and 1 headphone jack (No Mic-in)
  • Build-in-stereo speakers (high quality speaker x2)

And you gotta love the simple how to, Google Chrome tutorial.

 
I even use it to read some of my favorite food blogs. This is my friend Ashley at Center Cut Cook, she's creating great food, don't forget to stop and check her out on your new Google Nexus 7.


Don't wait, this is the perfect Christmas gift...to purchase...for yourself...and it's so EASY to use...!

I was provided with a Google Nexus 7 to use and review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Greek pickled calamari (καλαμαρι τουρσι )

Image
I love making a range of Greek style pickles - called toursi (τουρσί) in Greek. They are especially great in summertime, when after a day spent at the beach you get that urge for a chilled ouzo and meze. It's so nice to know that you have little jars of toursi tucked away in the fridge or the pantry and the only effort required is opening the jar! The pickle recipe I am sharing today is for calamari toursi (καλαμάρι τουρσί). It makes for a great meze spread with a little feta dusted with riagni, some simple fava (a yellow split pea dip) topped with sweet red onion and capers - and a little fresh, crispy salad on the side, such as a purslane and marinated olives. Pop open the jar of calamari and in minutes you have some lovely mezethes to enjoy with a chilled ouzo in the garden on a warm, dusky summer evening. If you skip the feta you also have a Greek Orthodox fasting friendly meal for those few weeks before Christmas - or Easter. If you are interested in making other Greek style p...

Tastes of Cyprus – An Interview and a Recipe

Image
According to Greek Mythology, the island of Cyprus takes its name from the goddess Aphrodite, which makes the island her own special abode. I have never been to Cyprus, though I have heard of its natural beauty, and I do have a number of Cypriot friends. Toronto has a sizable Cypriot community, and over the years, I have had a chance to learn something about their ways and means. I have also had a chance to sample some of their foods. A table filled with Cypriot and Greek food specialties There are many similarities between the foods of Greece and Cyprus, but there are notable differences too. At the invitation of the Consul General of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Stavros Avgoustides, I had a chance to sample some specialties of that island nation. Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the annual cutting of the Vasilopita at the Cypriot Consulate in Toronto. It was a small, intimate affair which included family members of the consulate staff, the consul general and staff from...

Nafplio: a guide

Image
It is nearly impossible to describe in words just how much I love the Peloponnese. Nafplio is indeed one if its gems and among one of the most romantic towns in Greece. Geographically located on the eastern side of Peloponnese and only 2 hours drive from Athens, this is a popular weekend destination. The Old Town is a marvel to walk around with elegant neoclassical mansions and large squares, while on the hill above the Old Town is a fortress castle dating from the Venetian ages. There are some incredible beaches located nearby (even the town beach is excellent) and the Old Town is host to plenty of fabulous restaurants, tavernas, cafés, art galleries and museums. The twice weekly local farmers market is also a real delight and not to be missed. Getting there There are no airports near Nafpilo, but it is an easy 2 hour bus ride from Athens. There are regular buses from Athens to Nafplio every day. Buses from Athens depart from Kifissos KTEL Bus Station very frequently, about 4-5 times ...
