Help Me Name This Drink Contest Winner with: Samoan Beach
Meet Efthimia, blogger at Saffron Gatherer. Efthimia is the winner of my Help Me Name This Drink Contest with her entry of Samoan Beach and the description of
“Seems so simple and wet intriguing. Seems so peaceful and yet so appealing, so ready to blow your top. Like a Samoan Beach.”
The “prize” for winning the contest is to be featured on my blog for all you out there to read about. So, I thought it would be great to post this while on vacation (greetings from Ireland by the way) so that the winner would get the longest time possible as the top post.
Let me tell you a little about what Efthimia shared with me about herself:
- she’s 33
- studied geology and geographic information systems
- works in a gas supply company
- she loves 2 things in her life: books and eating
- she has 2 blogs (a third will be coming out soon)
- One of her blogs is on books and her writing adventures
- she is a published fantasy novel writer (no wonder she is so good with words!)
- she started blogging about cooking because:
“there are so many things I wanted to share with other people, like what it tastes to be in a loving family, or what it tastes when you need someone to love, or even what should my fantasy heroes be eating in order to keep fit for their adventures. It’s a little what-mood-I’m-in-right-now, when it comes to picking a them to post.”
The Saffron Gatherer, Efthimia’s cooking blog is mainly in Greek, but, every once in a while, she posts in both Greek and English so that those of us who don’t read Greek can get a glimpse of what the yummy pictures are made of. Of course, there is always Google Translate or other similar free online translating sites that will easily tell you what is in a recipe. I tested it out with great success on Google Translate.
So, for those of you who enjoy Greek food or who love to try new things, go over to The Saffron Gatherer and try out some of Efthimia’s dishes.
And, again, thank you to Efthimia for naming giving my new drink the great name of Samoan Beach!
