The evil eye curse is a belief that was widespread in ancient Greece and Rome, as well as Turkey and many other Mediterranean countries..  If you suddenly felt dizzy and weak, with a headache and nausea, you may have been cursed with the evil eye.   This curse is associated with jealousy or envy--if someone is intensely jealous of you, he or she may be giving you the evil eye curse.  Often, however, the curse is unintentional--you may compliment a friend on his new clothes or new car and suddenly he has been cursed.  To ward off the spell, Greeks will wear an evil eye charm like the one seen here, as well as hang them in their homes over the doorways (so that no evil enters the home).

In Greece, a “taverna” is a small, lively, family-owned restaurant where friends gather to eat, drink, and enjoy each other’s company. Often the husband does the cooking while the wife manages the dining room.  Atlantis Taverna in downtown Sun Prairie is such a place. Proprietors Beth and Telly Fatsis have brought to you authentic Greek family recipes, and invite you to experience the Mediterranean in this cozy, friendly, and colorful taverna.

AAHH, the spectacular Greek coastline.  If you get a chance to travel to Greece, you'll be in for a culinary treat!  You may also be invited to sample some homemade Retsina wine, which many restaurants offer as their own house wine.
