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…

      Wait! Don’t start your weekend just yet. I need you for a split moment. A couple of years back they started selling slow cookers here. Okay, so I admit we were a little late to the party! Suffice to say I bought one (a Kenwood) immediately but really, I was duly unimpressed. The darn thing got so hot that low and slow seemed like an impossible task. Recipes that were supposed…

        It’s Fake And Small

        Filed under: Expressions,Home,randomness — Tags: , , — Kay @ 9:15 am

        One of the cons to living in the Netherlands and especially the Randstad (conurbation) is that the houses are relatively small and oftentimes have such undersized living rooms that I just don’t know where to fit a huge Christmas tree in here. Especially not since I bought a decent sized corner sofa. At first glance this might look like a full-size tree. Probably due to the angle I took the…

            Slices of Life

            The photography and expressions sections of my site have stayed woefully quiet these past few weeks. Mainly because I don’t trust my ankle enough to take my camera outside with me, and well, you just don’t get a whole lot of excitement when you’re stuck at home. I really miss walking for hours on end in the park next to our house, that is now a fairytale world filled with…
