Food Notes

Question: How can you save your lemons from rotting without refrigerating them? How can you store them in winter and use them in summer, when local production is limited and usually overpriced? Answer: You can preserve them in lemon juice and unprocessed coarse sea salt!

Music Pairing

Mimis Plessas and The Orbiters, “Lemonaki/Small Lemon” from their CD “Greece Goes Modern”.

Music Bites

“Lemonaki” (“Small Lemon”) is a folk-dance song from Peloponnisos, revisited by awarded Greek composer, conductor, and pianist Mimis Plessas (1924-) and The Orbiters in their vinyl album “Greece Goes Modern” (1967). Stylish jazz and rock arrangements of traditional tunes by skillful musicians in a playful mood. World music at its best!
