The Resting Buddha

Filed under: Expressions,Home,home & garden — Tags: , , — Kay @ 10:36 am

As I glanced around my living room, hallway and bedroom, it became exceedingly clear to me that my abiding love for Buddha statues might have reached an all-time high. It’s not for design purposes that I feel drawn to these statues—as beautiful as I think they are—or to any kind of religious art (I collect rosaries as well), to me it’s the peace and tranquility that seems to emerge from…

    Thanks for entering, everyone! Random.org gave me #43, Corinne. Please, contact me via the contact form in my website! Had I known what a huge hit these burlap storage bags would be, I would have bought a dozen sets of them. Two dozen! I did manage to get my hands on one extra set, so one last give away! If you want to enter, just answer the following question: “What’s…

      Seriously, the bright side to being sick together is that I can make him read Dr. Seuss’ “Green eggs and ham” to me while we’re spending hours lying on the couch under several blankets. The advantages of him growing up way too fast are becoming clearer every day. Next on the list: teach child how to clean windows.

        Super Bowl Sunday Recipes

        Time flies, that’s for sure. Can’t believe it’s almost Super Bowl Sunday again. Let’s hope that whoever sings the American national anthem this year won’t mess up the way Christina Aguilera did last year. Ouch, that was really painful to watch (and hear), even for me, and I’m Dutch! But I do have a few recipe suggestions for you! You know, for when you want something to nibble on not…

          They’ll Make Me Go To Rehab!

          And not only because my intentions to eat healthier in 2012 already seem to have morphed themselves into something quite he opposite. I’ve failed 5 years in a row now! But it’s not my fault. Not completely. They keep coming up with these kinds of dessert. Like this dessert of the month, Zeeuwse bolus pudding. They’re a Dutch pastry; a spiral dough drizzled with treacle, brown sugar and cinnamon. They…

            The Dark Side

            I’m a little late to the party, I know, but I finally did move over to the dark side (they didn’t even have cookies!). I ordered an iPhone. Yes, I did. If all goes well it will be delivered today. Suffice to say I’m still praying to the Gods of postal services. I did some iTunes searching and already got the standard apps; the instamatic, whatsapp and twitter stuff. Just…
