And to this second poor man he gave the other half of his cloak. God then sent a warm sun to reward the pious Martin. And every year its warmth returns, to remind us of its good heart.

The cursed lords
Once upon a time, in a village called Kombitsi, in an old house,forgotten by time, lived a villager. His family was destitute and they had no harvest that year which resulted in them having no food for the cold winter. So the villager, in order to survive, decides to borrow money from a stingy and bloodthirsty landowner who exploited the poor. As soon as he paid the debt, he asked the landowner for the agreement paper. He claimed that he did not have it with him and asked him to come back the other day to receive it. But the rich lord died the next day and his heirs found the agreement paper. So they threatened the villager to pay them even though he swore that the debt had already been repaid. The villager feared for his life and ran into the forest to hide. One rainy night he sees in the dark forest a horde of black-clad lords advancing with a strong and swift stride towards him... and what does he see? Back in line was the evil landowner. What harm did you do to me? the devastated villager told him. The lord promised him that he would release him from the evil if he worked for him. That's how it happened. Until the rooster crowed, the villager collected stones, until he filled a deep well assigned to him by the landowner. For 40 days and nights he tried in vain to fill it, since the well was bottomless. Suddenly, he sees an old donkey coming towards him. The animal approached him telling that the lord assigned him to work so as not to reveal to him that he had trapped him. Only if the lord's descendants made a merit on their father's grave could the curse be lifted. The villager had no other solution and risking his life he decided to turn to his sons who luckily believed him. It is said that if one walks in the forest of Kobitsi at night it is possible to hear the screams and footsteps of the cursed lords.
The legend of Argyro
Once upon a time, in a foggy landscape of northern Corfu, a rich landowner ruled with his daughters. The rich lord had built a lookout tower in Paleokastro to oversee the area from above in case of pirate raids. His favorite daughter was the noblewoman Argyro. The little princess loved carefree, sunny walks in the greenery and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the river, in the nearby village of Valanei. One hot afternoon as the little noblewoman was returning from her walk, she saw gray smoke rising from her family's tower. She immediately realized that all was lost. Being desperate she mounted a mule, blindfolded herself as well as the animal with her long scarf, and headed for the steep cliff. Some locals claim that her screams and the galloping of the mule can still be heard. Hence the current expression "the mule's leap".

How it s made...Baking bread and pies old-style..
The cheese pies were brushed with egg wash using a goose feather, before inserting them in the oven. When the oven is hot enough, the ashes are removed, the base of the oven is cleaned and the bread and pies are placed inside, using a special wooden shovel. When taken out of the oven, the bread and pies were covered with a clean cloth.These customs and traditions are kept, cherished and passed forward by many people in Romania.
In the old days, our grandmothers used to bake bread for the entire family. As there were many people in the family, the dough was made in a big wooden trough. The ingredients are basic ones, but the end result is tasty. Flour, yeast and a sprinkle of sugar, salt, warm water, make the dough for the bread or pies. Kneading the dough was a tiring activity, and the children would try to help either by holding the handles of the trough, or by adding water when needed. Meanwhile, the man of the house starts the fire in the oven, using twigs and wood-chops and then larger pieces if wood. Pies were made with different fillings: cheese, cabbage or plums. The plum pies were usually eaten as desert.
