2ο Lesvos Food Fest: Το φεστιβαλ γαστρονομίας της Λέσβου
Στο ψαροχώρι της Σκάλας Καλλονής μεταφέρθηκαν χθες, 2η μέρα της διοργάνωσης, οι δράσεις του Lesvos Food Fest. Οικοδεσπότες ο Σύλλογος Τουριστικής Ανάπτυξης Καλλονής ,που οργάνωσε τη δράση με την υποστήριξη των σεφ Κατρακάζα Xάρη και Θεοδωρέλλη Χαρίλαου, τη συνδρομή του Συλλόγου Μικρασιατών Καλλονής, και τη συνεργασία του Φορέα Τουρισμού Μολύβου, κεντρικού οργανωτή του Lesvos Food Fest.
Στο πλαίσιο της πρωινής δράσης παστώθηκαν από τον παλιότερο εστιάτορα της περιοχής, Μίμη Ντάβαζλη, σε πήλινους κεσέδες σαρδέλες Καλλονής- ο μεζές που είναι γνωστός και σαν «λεσβιακό σούσι» και τρώγεται λίγες ώρες μετά το πάστωμα του. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι το μεσημέρι οι συμμετέχοντες απόλαυσαν τα παστά σε επιχειρήσεις της περιοχής – ξεναγούς στα μυστικά του θαλασσινού μεζέ.
Το βράδυ ήταν ή ώρα για κολοκυθοτηγανίτες πλατσέντες, μακαρονάκι χειροποίητο με τους σεφ Χάρη Κατρακάζα και Χαρίλαο Θεοδωρέλλη και κυρίες του Συλλόγου Μικρασιατών Καλλονής. Και φυσικά χορός με νησιώτικα παραδοσιακά τραγούδια με το χορευτικό του ΕΘΟ Καλλονής, στην κεντρική πλατεία που γέμισε με αλμυρές γεύσεις σε καλοκαιρινές συνταγές, αρώματα φρέσκου λαδιού και γλυκάνισου από το ούζο.
Χθες τη σκυτάλη πήρε ο Φορέας Ανάπτυξης και Προβολής Ερεσού, που οργανώσε ένα νοσταλγικό γαστριμαργικό διήμερο με πλωτά μαγειρέματα και εκπλήξεις.
Στην κεντρική πλατεία της Ερεσού παρουσιαστηκαν δημιουργίες υψηλής μαγειρικής από το γευσιγνώστη Ηλία Μαμαλάκη και τον Πολιτιστικό Σύλλογο Ερεσιωτών «Φανίας», με πρώτη ύλη το βράσμα από τα περίφημα σύκα Ερεσού.
Σημερα το απόγευμα στην παραλία της Σκάλας Ερεσού με κιθάρες και τραγούδι, καρπούζι και τουλουμοτύρι οι συμμετέχοντες θα θυμηθούν απλές παλιές αλλιώτικες βραδιές.
Παράλληλα στην Ερεσό θα παρουσιαστεί το «Ερεσιώτικο πρωινό» και θα πραγματοποιηθούν πλωτά μαγειρέματα και μαγειρέματα με τοπικά προϊόντα στις εξέδρες του Γιαλού.
Από τη Δευτέρα το 2ο Lesvos Food Fest θα μετακομίσει στα χωριά της Γέρας, στη νότια Λέσβο, με οικοδεσπότη την Κοιν.Σ.Επ. «ΜΟΔΟΥΣΑ» που θα συστήσει τοπικά προϊόντα και ντόπιους παραγωγούς σε μια υπαίθρια αγορά.
Το 2ο Lesvos Food Fest πραγματοποιείται από τις 5 έως τις 15 Ιουλίου.

Dua Lipa, George Ezra, Cardi B - who's made the song of the summer?
Music sounds better in the sunshine. There's no scientific evidence for that, but it's a fact.
And with the UK in the middle of a heatwave, it's time to indulge in one of music's purest pleasures - the summer song.
Whether it's frothy and euphoric or laid-back and relaxed, every year produces one song that defines the season.
Last year, it was Luis Fonsi's Despacito. The year before it was Drake's One Dance. But who will take the crown in 2018?
We asked some of BBC Music's experts to select the song that's soundtracking their barbecues, pool parties and road trips.
George Ezra - Shotgun
Mark Savage, BBC Music reporter: What better way to soundtrack the summer than a song about a road trip to the beach? George Ezra's bouncy, carefree Shotgun has lyrics about "bikini bottoms and lager tops" and, for bonus sunbeams, resurrects the fretless bass sound of Paul Simon's Graceland. It's already number one, and it looks set to stay there. (But if not, I'll nominate Tiesto and Post Malone's delightfully daft Jackie Chan as an alternative.)
Lizzo - Boys
Lauren Brennan, music producer at BBC 6 Music: Detroit-born/Houston-raised Melissa Viviane Jefferson, AKA Lizzo, recently dropped this sassy new banger that's been funking up the 6 Music playlist. That she shares a first name with Missy Elliott comes as no surprise - she rivals the rap icon for attitude and energy. Newly signed to Atlantic, expect new music across this year.
Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin - I Like It
Sarah Beaumont, co-music lead, BBC 1Xtra: This Latin and Caribbean infused track has a well-known sample, which gives it an instant sense of familiarity. 2018 really has been Cardi B's year and she's teamed up with two of reggaeton's biggest stars, making this a sure-fire summer hit. As soon as I hear this I'm transported to the beach with a cocktail in hand!
Chaka Khan - Like Sugar
Kevin Geoghegan, BBC Music News Live: Anyone who can't find it in themselves to even do the tiniest desk shimmy to this song is dead inside. There are some (reasonable) complaints that Chaka doesn't feature heavily enough in the track but her small but perfectly-formed contributions are unmistakable.
Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa - One Kiss
Annabel Rackham, BBC Entertainment reporter: You can't go wrong when you combine the current biggest female pop act with one of the world's most successful DJs. The nostalgic, washed-out vibe is reminiscent of 90s dance music, but it also has the commercial appeal, which means it can be played everywhere. Combine that with the eight weeks it spent at number one and you've got a solid case for it being song of the summer.
Arctic Monkeys - Four Out Of Five
Jimmy Blake, Music reporter, Newsbeat: Some people initially weren't on board with Alex Turner taking up piano for their sixth album - but a hearty Scottish sing-a-long of this track at the Monkeys' set at last week's TRNSMT festival suggests fans have accepted the gear shift. The track might not scream "Pimms o'clock in a beer garden" but, for some of us, it will forever soundtrack summer memories of the Arctics crooning their way back to headliner status after five years away.
Courtney Barnett - City Looks Pretty
Paul Glynn, BBC Music News Live: OK, this song is ultimately about "a dismal day" but it's testament to the power of a sunny day - as the Aussie slacker shakes herself out of a depressed funk by enjoying the simple pleasures of a stroll around Melbourne. The killer distorted riffs will aid your summer's drive, while the cool breakdown at the end allows you to pull over to the left-hand lane and enjoy.

Elvis himself, who knew of the airplay in advance, hides out at a local movie show, but response is so immediate and positive that Dewey tracks him down for a live radio interview later that evening.

Roswell UFO Incident Makes Headlines
1947New Mexico's Roswell Daily Recordreports an alien aircraft has crashed near a local ranch with the headline "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer In Roswell Region." In the coming decades, extraterrestrials and flying saucers invade several songs, including David Bowie's "Starman," Megadeth's "Hangar 18," and Radiohead's "Subterranean Homesick Alien."
Although the Air Force explains the UFO was actually a downed weather balloon, the Roswell Incident spurs numerous conspiracy theories about alien activity and government cover-ups, providing plenty of material for songwriters looking to venture beyond love songs.
The story opens:
The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment group at Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the field has come into possession of a flying saucer.
It goes on to give an account by a rancher who witnessed the craft:
It looked oval in shape like two inverted saucers, faced mouth to mouth, or like two old type washbowls placed, together in the same fashion. The entire body glowed as though light were showing through from inside, though not like it would inside, though not like it would be if a light were merely underneath.
The next day, the paper reports that the unidentified object was, in fact, a weather device. Many doubt this report, believing it's a cover-up as part of a government conspiracy. One of the first songs to beam on board comes in 1956 with "The Flying Saucer," a War of the Worlds tale by the novelty duo Goodman and Buchanan. David Bowie makes aliens and space a theme of his various personas, but some artists approach it earnestly, including Sammy Hagar, who recounts his UFO encounter in "Silver Lights." In the 2010s, Tom Delong of blink-182becomes a top alien investigator.
