Rethymno - rain for Simon's memorial

 

The day that Simon's memorial was being held, at Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover, started with a rainbow.

It came and went for most of the morning as the showers moved through. Sometimes it was a double. Most of the time it looked like the "pot of gold" was down at the swimming beach.

Finally it moved out to sea and disappeared.

I was planning on staying home all day and just feeling sad but

Rick suggested we pop out for lunch during a break in the weather. This is him eating a reasonable lunch of a sandwich and me participating in some "emotional eating" with a huge cinnamon roll.

This truck was delivering our newest indulgence ... chocolate croissant (that we buy at the butchers just down our street, yes the butchers)

The old town area was quiet, just a few people huddled under umbrellas

or moving from awning to awning.

Over a dance school entrance.

I have been doing most of the cooking, Rick is on dishes and cleanup, but he had seen a recipe for Cabbage Pizza he wanted to try. Prepped it first

Then needed a break.

This is how he made it

Half a head of cabbage - Sliced thinly then chopped

Mix in 2 eggs and a tbsp of flour. Oil a frying pan and pour the mixture in. Cook until brown on the bottom (just a few minutes) then flip it over.

Cover the top with pizza sauce, cheese and any other pizza toppings you want (Rick used fried mushrooms, tomatoes and green pepper). Put a lid on and cook until the bottom is brown. (again just a few minutes)

We actually couldn't finish it and the leftovers were still good the next day.

While at my place for the memorial, the girls (Elis, Heather and Fiona) got a tattoo commemorating their trip together to visit me in Mallorca (photo on the right, 2018). An orange, designed by Elis. I gather Christine lead them to believe that I would also get one.

The Cousins. Chris, Mike, Kevin, Elis, Fiona and Heather. At the memorial, they have seen more of each other this year as it is the third family memorial. Just missing Carla who is in Kelowna.
