Tuna Balls (Giouvarlakia)

Ingredients:
250 g. canned tuna
1 grated onion
3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Chopped parsley
Breadcrumbs
Egg white meringue of two eggs
Salt, pepper, oregano

For the sauce:
½ liter of milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 scant tablespoon of flour
Yolks of two eggs
A pinch of salt
Juice of one lemon

Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients well, mold the balls (giouvarlakia) and place them in buttered pan. Bake in a moderate oven. When they get brown, remove them with a spatula and place them carefully in a Pyrex dish or a deep platter. Meanwhile, you can prepare the sauce. Brown a little the flour in the butter. Pour milk slowly to prevent clotting. Pour a little salt. When it boils, pour the lemon. Beat the egg yolks and pour a little bit of sauce into the yolks. Then, mix well and pour over the tuna balls (giouvarlakia). Beware the sauce should not become thicky, becauce, by getting cold, it will thicken more. Reduce the ingredients, if the amount of the sauce is great.

Stuffed Peppers with Cheese

We wash the peppers, open them, remove the seeds and fry them for a while. We beat the eggs, add the cheese and three of the tomatoes to them. (we should blend the tomatoes before we add them). We stuff the peppers with this mixture and put them in a big pan or a baking pan. We add the rest of the tomatoes ( chopped ) and the butter. We put the food in the oven to simmer, in a medium temperature for about 30 minutes until the egg is curdy enough.

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Men Should Respect Women

«You should respect your wives. If you don’t feel love, they will suffer and think that they are a means for your enjoyment, and they will feel terrible themselves... A woman wants love to be satisfied with her husband. She has a more delicate heart because she will raise children, and her condition is sensitive. She has tenderness. She doesn't want ribaldries and no dignities. That's why she gets hurt when they treat her like a ‘piece of meat’ and don’t care about her feelings.»
