Drinking hot coffee as I type, which is most certainly needed today since it is a beautiful -18* below zero. It's so cold that schools have been closed today, no class!
Kombologion is also a subgenus of the gastropod mollusc genus Calliostoma
Kombológia of different materials: turquoise, obsidian, Faturan and Yemeni amberKomboloi, kompoloi (Greek κομπολόι, pronounced [komboˈloj] or [koboˈloj]), or (Greek) worry beads are a part of Greek culture, used to relieve stress and generally pass the time.
Etymology
Modern κομπολόι is derived from medieval κομβολόγιον < κόμβος 'knot' + λόγιο 'collection'.
Purpose and origin
Komboloi worry beads resemble prayer beads, but, unlike them, bear no religious significance. They are merely an instrument of relaxation and stress management. In modern times komboloi is also used by people who want to limit smoking.
The origin of the Greek komboloi is debated. It may derive from the komboskini used by Orthodox monks or the Islamic Misbaha. Armenians also have their own worry beads which serve the same purpose as the komboloi and are also non-religious in nature.
Features
Greek komboloi with secular national or historic symbols accompanying them are often sold to tourists.Komboloi are constructed from any type of bead, although amber, amber resin (such as faturan) and coral are preferred, as they are thought to be more pleasant to handle than non-organic materials such as metal or minerals.
Greek komboloi generally have an odd number of beads (usually one more than a multiple of four, e.g. (4x4)+1, (5x4)+1, and so on) and usually have a "head" composed of a fixed bead (παπάς 'priest'), a shield (θυρεός) to separate the two threads and help the beads to flow freely, and a tassel (φούντα). Usually the length of a komboloi is approximately two palm widths.[1] A variation of the komboloi with an especially long string, often with only two beads, is known as begleri.
Use
A rare komboloi made of Blue Amber.Komboloi can be handled in many different ways. The most common are a quiet method, for indoors, and a noisier method that is acceptable in public places. The most common quiet method is to start at one end of the thread or chain, near the shield, and to pull the thread forward using that hand's thumb and the side of the index finger until one of the beads is reached. Then the cord is tipped so that the bead falls and hits the shield. This is repeated until all the beads have been tipped and then the user starts over.
The second, louder, method is to divide the beads in to two groups. On one end is the shield and a small number of the beads. On the other end is the rest of the beads. Where the two threads are empty, that space is laid between the index and middle fingers. The hand should be in a position where the palm is facing the torso. Then the end behind the hand is swung up and forward so that it hits the other beads, making a noise. The threads are then switched back into the space between the index and middle fingers by holding the threads between the thumb and the side of the index finger. This is repeated rhythmically, creating a louder clicking noise than the quiet method. An easier and soothing method is to hold all of the kombolói in one hand and roll the beads against each other, creating soft clicking sounds.
A more modern version of these worry beads continues to gain increasing popularity. Sometimes called wigglers, these simple strings of beads can be used in a number of ways, including both one- and two-handed methods that involve rapidly wiggling the beads in various directions. Fans claim that wiggling the beads creates a rush of adrenaline, followed by a soothing, calm sensation.

Lieber Tulio,
das Komboloi stammt ursprünglich aus Indien oder China (Mala); von dort gelangte es in die arabische Welt, wo es im Islam zum Gebetskettchen (Tasbih) wurde, bei denen jede der 99 Perlen für einen der Namen Allahs steht. Der heilige Dominikus führte es in die christliche Welt ein, woraus sich später der Rosenkranz entwickelte; Papst Gregor XIII. führte 1573 das Fest des Rosenkranzes am ersten Sonntag im Oktober ein.
Bernstein-KettchenDie Griechen haben das Komboloi vermutlich aus dem arabischen Raum von den Türken übernommen. Im Gegensatz zum islamischen Gebetskettchen hat es bei den Griechen jedoch keinerlei religiöse Bedeutung mehr.
Dear Tulio
The Komboloi originally originates from India or China (Mala); from there it arrived into the Arab world, where it became in the Islam the prayer small chain (Tasbih), with which each of the 99 beads for one of the names Allahs is located. The holy Dominikus inserted it into the Christian world, from which the Rosenkranz developed later; Pope Gregor XIII. 1573 introduced the celebration of the Rosenkranzes on first Sunday in October. Bernstein-KettchenDie Greeks probably took over the Komboloi from the Arab area of the Turks. Contrary to the Islamic prayer small chains it has no religious meaning with the Greeks however more.
Tonight I am cooking, steamed salmon on a bed of thin sliced courgette with mashed potatoes and steamed carrots... I seem to have an obsession with carrots. It's Friday and this is the forth time they have appeared on the menu this week!
I'm in Venice next month for five weeks... don't drink wine though and will take my green tea with me! Everything in the kitchen is steamy and I'm sooo hungry! C'mon you salmon... and tomorrow it will be fishcakes as I recently learned a super recipe.
Fishcakes, we love crabcakes here. Lovely taste. With salad tea is great i am finishing Twinings herbal honeybush with cinamon and orange flavor, great treat.
mmmmmmmmmmmm! that was tasty. Now Liz is making the tea.
The recipe for fishcakes is so simple (like me!) i can't believe you wouldn't already know it.
take .... oh just a moment.... are you into pounds and ounces or kilo's and bits there of over there? Never mind I can probably work around that...
the proportions of cooked fish to mashed potato should be 5:4 (half a kilo of fish to 400 gr mashed potato) (of course that could also be mashed potato, carrot and parsnip in proportions to taste...) Melt a good lump of .. good... butter in a steel pan and then crumble in the fish (having made absolutely sure there are no bones in it because we artists really are a finniky bunch aren't we) add the mashed potato and the yolk of an egg. Stir over a low heat for a few minutes and then empty the resultant mix out onto a plate and allow it to get cold ... I think coldness is not a problem for you right? When the mix is good and cold form it into cakes, size thereof depending on your appetite, beat another egg into the white from the first one... the one you used to add the yolk to the mixture remember?... brush the cake(s) over with the beaten egg... you are an artist that part should be easy for you... then coat the egg coated fish cake with breadcrumbs. So far so good. Now comes the tricky bit, fry the breadcrumb and egg coated fishcake in hot oil (or reindeer fat if that is all you have in the cupboard) on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Eat. Please, please, please do not coat the fishcake in tomato ketchup... oh sorry no, that's American of course, in Canada you probably use HP sauce out of feelings of nostalgia for your Brit ancestors.... Now that wasn't so difficult was it? Damn! I've let my tea go cold! bless bless.
Hi Chantal, it is 8 degrees and my Starbucks Christmas Blend is in the coffeemaker brewing extra strong, can you smell it? Have some with Ginger cookies!!
Thanks for the coffee, i needed reviving after a morning working on the documentation of the last show, still a long way to go, I will keep coming back for more.
Double face en feuille. Tu commence par décoller le support de la parti que tu veux faire en sucre puis tu mets ton sucre en poudre, tu secoues pour enlever le surplus de sucre puis tu enlèves le support de la partie à faire en café et tu mets ton café en poudre.
Non, les partis blanches sont ne sont toujours pas tombées depuis une petite dizaine d'années que je l'ai fait.
Chantal, as tu déjà vu la vidéo où j'explique comment réaliser une photo avec du café en poudre?
Dans le cas de la vidéo, la colle est appliquée en sérigraphie ce qui permet de faire une photo tramée (le même principe que les photos dans les journaux). La photo doit être réalisée avec une poudre qui n'est pas grâce comme le café, la poussière, le chocolat...
