Easter always reminds me of one of my ex boyfriends and his family. Maybe because it’s one family that takes Easter very seriously. Yes, they took Easter very seriously indeed! I remember that this ex always told me over and over again that tomorrow we’re expected at his parent’s house to look (and hunt) for some eggs somewhere in their garden.
They’re usually hidden in the grass (if they’re not already eaten by their rabbits!), in the trees and somewhere between their garden benches. The thing was that I
Come my tan-faced children, Follow well in order, get your weapons ready, Have you your pistols? have you your sharp-edged axes? Pioneers! O pioneers!
For we cannot tarry here, We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers!
O you youths, Western youths, So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship, Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost, Pioneers! O pioneers!
Have the elder
A few months ago a friend of mine gave me a cookbook called “The Indonesian Kitchen” and yesterday I decided to give a try. One recipe called “Pepes Ikan” or “Steamed Fish in Banana Leaves” sounded very yummy in my ears (Shut up, woman, everything sounds very yummy if you don’t or cannot cook very well!!) Anyways, I took the risk and the result was not as bad as I was afraid of. In fact, it was almost as yummy as it sounded This is the recipe according to that cookbook.
Glad to see a colleague of mine. She is very sweet and kind. She reminds me of my own sister whom I haven’t seen for so long. A few days ago, I sent her an e-mail with some URL’s that I have been working on for the last two months. I look forward to hearing her opinions about them. Not because she’s a expert in web/blog designing, simply because I respect her inputs.
Colleague: “Girl, thanks for your e-mail and how have you been?”
Me: “I have been very
Good morning, ladies. Actually, it is not really a good morning at all. It’s couldy and cold. Today is the opposite of yesterday, in term of temperature. So, please don’t ask me where the sun is because I simply don’t know. But nevermind, because especially today, I have got a lot to do that requires me to stay behind my laptop for the next six to seven hours. Yeah, FUN! And as usual, I’ll be leaving you all with Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Chapter 4: Oliver, being offered another place, makes his
A LANTERN light from deeper in the barn Shone on a man and woman in the door And threw their lurching shadows on a house Near by, all dark in every glossy window. A horse’s hoof pawed once the hollow floor, And the back of the gig they stood beside Moved in a little. The man grasped a wheel, The woman spoke out sharply, “Whoa, stand still!” “I saw it just as plain as a white plate,” She said, “as the light on the dashboard ran Along the bushes
I have never been a real TV-type but it is nice to have one at home. Yesterday, I was a little bit tired and just needed to relax on my couch in front of the TV. I turned the TV on and there it was, the McDonald’s Dutch Deluxe ad. It was funny, brilliantly and somehow appropriately made!
To be very honest, there are some Dutchmen who are very stingy (one is even worst than the other!). And this ad reminds me of one guy I used to date
Just when I thought that the winter was over, the temperature keeps dropping to minus. And it’s snowing. In fact, in some other cities, it has been snowing quite heavily for the last few days. Snowing during holiday seasons can be very romantic but now it’s time for some sunshine. Yes, I want and NEED some sunshine very badly!
This morning I was not at all in the mood for waking up. It’s cold and I wasn’t feeling very great. It’s almost funny though that I don’t seem to
Good morning, ladies! I just had a very modish breakfast this morning: some cereals, banana and 2 cups of tea. It should be enough to get through the morning … well, my until lunch time anyway (SMILE). I have a very long To-Do list for today; I better get my Friday started! So, I’ll be leaving you with the last part of Oliver Twist’s Chapter 3 by Charles Dickens.
(start of chapter 3, part 3/3) Oliver roused himself, and made his best obeisance. He had been wondering, with his eyes
Yesterday I went to Albert Heijn (AH), my favorite supermarket. I call it my favorite because it’s near my house and I can get anything I need to stock my fridge. No to mentioned that at AH I can get some fantastic spring vegetables, from baby carrots with tops, baby fennel with its herby leaves, baby turnips, peas, fine green to yellow French beans. They are very colourful and easy to cook. Yeah, these are the reasons why I love them so much. I also bought some salmon steaks
