Nice
In my last post, I talked about our trip to Nice, now almost four weeks ago. So I thought I’d share some photo’s with you today. Joop’s parents rented an apartment there for three weeks and asked us...

Getting ready for autumn

Last week’s dinner no. 1 // cucumber-mango salad
After making last week’s best dinner on Friday, there was no way I would get behind my laptop and write down a recipe. Nor was Joop particularly feeling like processing that week’s dinner photo’s. I...

Currently loving, pt. 1
1 // The new Bat for Lashes album “The Haunted Man” is, ever so appropriately, hauntingly beautiful. It has that same otherworldly, storytelling beauty to it as her previous two albums, but with more...

Last week’s dinner no. 2 // roasted parsnips and carrots
When I came home last Tuesday after a long day of work, I really didn’t feel like cooking. The Thursday before that, I’d received the news that my contract at my job will not be extended (I work...

Tea
I love tea. I drink it all day, every day. In the morning I prefer the refreshing and stimulating taste of green tea. Did you know that with green tea, you have to wait about 3 minutes until the...

Last week’s dinner no. 3 // couscous with tomatoes, peas and feta
Last week was quite the week. It was my last week at my old job and to be honest, I couldn’t wait for it to be over. In the two weeks since I got the news, I’d gotten quite ready to leave it all...

Hello Etsy
This past Saturday, I was delighted to go to Hello Etsy ’12 which was held right here in the Netherlands. And when I say delighted, I mean I was quite nervous before I got there, but loved being...

On things and other stuff
“What happened to last week’s dinner?”, you might wonder. And so do I. I remember the meals not being quite spectacularly good to begin with. Then one day Joop wasn’t home in time for dinner and I was...

Learning to crochet
My sister in law (without the actual law) / friend Evelien is teaching me how to crochet. I was terribly bad at it at first, but I’m getting the hang of it. As you can see, I haven’t done that much...

Last week’s dinner no. 4 // the best peanut sauce
The no-tuna salad wraps we had on Friday might look scrumptious in that photo in the bottom right, and they kind of were, but also left us feeling like we ate an insane amount of fries with mayo. The...

Last week’s dinner no. 5 // pumpkin salad
Last week I really thought I was going to make it. I really thought I would have five photo’s/meals to share this week. Everything went perfectly smooth (foodwise, mind you) until Friday. My in-laws...

Lately
A pretty pattern inside my cup of hot chocolate (made with hazelnut milk – so good!). This grated celeriac looks like snow to me. I’m quite ready for a bit of snow. The french toast I made last...

My first hand-carved stamps
Today I carved my first stamps! I might have already carved a stamp in school when I was 5 years old or something, but if I did, I don’t remember. I wanted to try stamp carving for a long time, and...

Bye bye autumn
Autumn lasted for a pretty long time this year. The overall good weather we’ve been having, made it easier for the leaves to hold on tight just a little longer. There were no storms, no heavy rain or...

Snow!
I couldn’t help but share these photo’s I took this morning of the SNOW in our garden! It was just my last post that I talked about how, when it snows, I can’t think of anything better in the whole...

Last week’s dinner no. 6 // lentil-tomato stew with chorizo and salmon
The weeks are going so fast lately. I thought being at home all week, instead of being at work for two days, would make the weeks seem longer, but I’m burning through them like I’m in a hurry. And...
