Food Exposé

Here we are making our way towards Athens, via a less inhabited island.

    So what do we eat?  Lets just say whatever we want.  Gens a vegetarian so her meals lack the meat Emma's, Georgia's,  and mine do.  Since we have been on our island with a kitchen we have been able to cook extravagant foods, like fijitas and ratatouille (see more below).  When biking it is give or take.  We consume a large amount of yogurt and gronala for breakfast.  For lunches sandwiches and wraps were common in Italy where bread, cheese, meat (salami and prosuto) and a varriety of toppings, pesto, capers (for lox), roasted peppers, balsamic vinegar, were all available in one stop shopping.  Often leftovers for lunch were eaten for dinner. When camping since it was often cold we ate soup.  However we are very capable camp cooks and have big plans for when the weather warms and spending time not in your tent it fun.  We eat also a lot of chocolate or sweats, and things with salt like chips. Don't worry moms we also eat our vegetables and fruits, apples, orange, carrots and cucumbers.  We drink mostly water but the occasional soda is enjoyed at lunch for refreshing energy boost.  

     Once we got to Greece we discovered that in smaller towns goods are split into specialty stores and the on the go sandwich was harder to prepare.  We did discover however the delights of the Greek bakeries.  Pastries both sweet and savory, filled with cheese, cheese and meat, or spinach.  The perfect replacement for the Italian sandwich.   When staying in hotels we make sure to fill up on continental breakfasts eating until we don't actually want to ride our bikes and perhaps not even eat lunch that day.  For dinners we often find a grocery store or small kebab shop.  We went out a couple times in Italy eating first course (pasta) and being forced to order second (meat), Gen would augment with cheese pizza.  We have yet to have a full Greek experience, however after our radio debut tonight we plan on feasting on soulvaki. I'll let you all know how it goes.
