223: Kiki on Location: Nemea, My Mother's Homeland Kiki Vale takes Kefi Life on location to Greece where it all began in Nemea. A stop at Nemea's oldest restaurant SOFOS is today topic. Today's Lexi: Αρχαία – Archaia – Ancient In Today's Episode: “Eu Zyn” is a greeting that was introduced to me last July by host and SOFOS restaurant owner, Eirini Koroka. While rebranding Kefi Life, this phrase carried a powerful meaning—one that is best understood through experience rather than simply reading the words on a page. Like many Greek expressions, its meaning goes beyond a direct translation. The first two letters, Eu (Εὖ), appear at the beginning of Eu Zyn and in many other Greek words, conveying the idea of goodness, wellness, and living well. These two simple letters set the tone for a life of purpose and positivity. With that spirit in mind, let us continue our journey to Nemea, in the region of Corinth, Greece—a land steeped in history and mythology. Known as one of the four great Panhellenic sanctuaries, Nemea is also celebrated for its exceptional wine and as the birthplace of my beloved Manoula (mother), Katina. Hear all about what makes the food of Nemea so delicious, and learn what is the key to preparing a memorable meal. Erini Koroka, owner and chef of SOFOS is full of delightful shares. Resources: SOFOS on Trip Advisor SOFOS on Greek Gastronomy About SOFOS: In Ancient Nemea, SOFOS is the longest-running local dining establishment. Established in the 1950s by Mrs. Athena, the tavern has been passed down through three generations of the family and remains renowned for traditional Greek home-cooking and local Agiorgitiko wines.

222: Santorini Secrets: Mediterranean Living at MIA'S Kiki goes on location to Greece to experience the Mediterranean Diet — Santorini style. Today's Lexi: Μεζέ – Meze – Appetizers In Today's Episode: Join Kiki and Sellia, owner of Mia's Restaurant on the island of Santorini in Greece. Today you will love an authentic and vibrant conversation about the Mediterranean food that is prepared and crafted by an all-woman kitchen spearheaded by chef Ellie. What is fava, and how versatile is it? What is the secret to Mia's village salad, and how did Sellia get to Santorini in the first place? There's so much more to this conversation, so please tune in. Resources: Mia's Restaurant Cupitol Coffee Cupitol — The Restaurant About Sellia Sellia Georges is a third-generation restaurateur whose family has been part of Chicago's restaurant industry for more than 40 years. Growing up, she worked in her family's restaurants — JC Georges (opened in 1982), OPA Estiatorio, Portofino Italian, and Elly's Brunch Café — and later worked alongside her father on the opening of the Elly's 24-Hour concept in downtown Chicago in 2010. Sellia considers Cupitol to be the evolution of Elly's, bringing together an easy-going European atmosphere with an all-day dining experience. She opened the first Cupitol Coffee & Eatery location in Evanston in 2016, followed by a second location in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood in 2017, and a third location featuring an expanded bakery in West Loop in 2021. Her vision was to create a versatile space where guests could enjoy breakfast or coffee with friends, a full meal, work at a communal table or lounge, or simply grab a cold-pressed juice to go. Her Greek heritage is reflected throughout Cupitol, from the relaxed lounge atmosphere to the menu, which features house-made pastries, specialty roasted coffee, and creative cocktails. Sellia's next concept brought her back to her roots with the opening of MIA'S Restaurant in Oia, Santorini, where her ancestors were born. Conceived during the pandemic, MIA'S has since become one of the most beloved restaurants in Oia, offering comforting yet elevated Greek cuisine through a modern, seasonal lens. Most recently, in December 2024, she launched Cupitol The Restaurant, an expanded evolution of the Cupitol concept and the brand's fourth location. Her goal was to create an accessible all-day restaurant serving delicious, high-quality food and drinks for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner at approachable prices. In addition to the signature Cupitol offerings, the restaurant features a specially curated dinner menu designed exclusively for this concept. Alongside her extensive hospitality experience, Sellia holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Kingston University and a master's degree in Psychology from University of Essex.

He points out that the real challenge facing the restaurant industry is the significant increase in minimum wage, which has been imposed by the legislature.

Effective teachers are reflective teachers (Sternberg & Williams, 2010; Zeichner & Liston, 2010). They think about what they're doing, what they did, and what they're going to do. There are two levels of reflection: surface level and deep meaning. Both are necessary. But one without the other is not sufficient.

Thom Francis welcomes poets Brian Liston and Joan Goodman, who shared their work at the Poetic License Poetry Reading and Open Mic at the Honest Weight Food Co-op on Monday, October 14, 2024. — Poetic License celebrates the creative intersections of poetry and visual art by bringing together writers from Hudson Valley Writers Guild and artists from the Upstate Artists Guild. Last year's exhibit showcased 42 pieces of art, created by 24 artists, each responding to poems written by 23 regional and national poets. This fusion of imagery and language gives us a fresh look at how art can interpret, transform, and reimagine the written word. On October 14, 2024, poets featured in the exhibit were invited to read their work in a special poetry reading hosted by local photographer and activist Dan Wilcox. Poets shared their pieces while surrounded by the very art they inspired—a full-circle moment for words and visuals alike. Today, we're thrilled to bring you the voices of two of those poets: Brian Liston, who is the only poet who has had his poetry appear in all three Poetic License exhibits, and Joan Goodman, who was a reader in the open mic portion of the evening. — The 2025 edition of Poetic License exhibit has moved across the river and is now on view at the Honest Weight Food Co-op in Albany through November 16. There will be an Artist Reception and Poetry Reading event as part of Albany's First Friday on November 7, 2025. For more information on Poetic License and its upcoming events, go to https://poeticlicensealbany.com. And while you are there, you can read the poems and view the art that is featured in the show.
