The day before we left, we saw that the US government had updated the travel advisory to put Greece in red. It turns out COVID was only part of the reason: the fires were the other part of the reason. Now that we’re here, I don’t sense the presence of smoke in the air. It’s terribly hot, but there seems to be a bit of a breeze but makes it more bearable.

Going back, we have a connecting flight through Frankfurt. We were in Frankfurt two years ago, and loved it, so we are considering scheduling an earlier flight and perhaps spending a cooler day or two there. Here is the extended forecast for Athens (note that today is going to be a chilly one, LOL):

Only McD's is brave enough to do that:

"The standard McGriddles sandwich consists of fried bacon, a scrambled egg flap, and American cheese between two maple-flavored griddled pancakes embossed with the McDonald's logo."

MrsT loves those, BTW. It's her favorite McD's breakfast item. I just love the term "scrambled egg flap."

Those look like blueberries in the pancake.
 
We're back in town after returning from Yyteri and emptying our summer cabin for the winter (it's not autumn yet but hubby's work starts tomorrow and he doesn't want to commute).

We had takeaway sushi, strawberries and ice cream.

How did it taste?

It was very good, a definite make again. There was a lot of rice, too much for us, but you need that much for structure if you are going to serve it the traditional way, i.e. flipped out of the pan. I might make it with less rice next time and skip the flipping. I did cut down a bit on the allspice and nutmeg a bit because I was afraid they would overpower but probably the full amounts could have been used. I cut down a bit on the salt as well, but a little too much as it needed a little more salt.
