For the 7th day of the 7th month, show us 7 of something - OR - something lucky.
Can I stick to my Russian visa for that? I'm so curious what things'll be like, there...
The mailman brought me something lately... Spanish Chorizo, shoulder ham from Iberian pigs saltened and cured for 15 months. Meat with a great structure, mabled with grease, making it taste softer then soft if taken out of the fridge for at least a couple of hours before eating. Mancheno cheese; Sheep cheese from La Mancha.
Lovely hearty foods. All it needs further is some bread and a good red wine and it gives the most delightful cold meal you could ever possibly wish for. A true feast.
Beside that, I received some sachets of Cola Cao. Added to warm milk, this gives a cocao drink, but rich of caffeine too, thanks to the extracts of the kola nut, which also it the source of caffeine used in Coca Cola. Yay.
Show us two things that belong together.
Notice the difference; for some reason, the two wascloths on the right managed to sneak into my dark wash. So now they're grey.
This ought to sound as a sexist remark, but a man alone is not fit to run a household...
How many meals do you cook at home each week? What do you do for the other meals?
Can I be honest about that one?
I've got a stove and a combi-oven, but until now (the past, say, 3 weeks) all I ever used was the latter's microwave-functionality.
To be even more honest, the past week I bought a carton of eggs, to be able to make myself a strammer max. Back home, I discovered I don't yet have margarine in my fridge.
I've got quate a collection of cookbooks, though, and, if everything goes well, in the forthcoming week I'll try to produce some edible tortillas. Keep your fingers crossed.
Well, it's been a while since the last time I updated (and visited) this place here, so I suppose things have happened.
I hope you're all doing well.
Here, they are... I found a new job (twice!) in another part of the country, so I'm kinda busy moving out. Beside things like a laptop, wall-clock and wake-up-light, I bought an appartment some time ago, and past monday was the big day on which I went to a notary to sign some paperwork and to receive the keys. It's mine now. Some things need to happen still, though, before it's my comfy little crib.
What did you do for fun when you were a kid? How is it different from what you see kids doing now?

Woah... I find it kinda embarrassing to admit, but we played A-Team... and they always picked me to be Murdock
Compared to things being different for kids growing up now, the most striking difference I see is the holiday-experience. In my time, going on holiday was fun in itself... packing the car, creating a mixtape to play over and over again on the car-stereo, nagging my siblings, eating candy, trying to spot things beside the road on the way to our destination... by the time we were there, we saw the world change around us.
Nowaday, kids see one or two movies on the headrest in front of em, and don't have the faintest idea where they are once they get out... nor do they know what a cassette-tape is.
This sorta proves we had no summer at all last year; a T-shirt I bought nearly a year ago, Easter 2007, still roled up in tape describing the shirt... MILF XL.
Despite the weather (it's been snowing here) I sorta started some kind of spring-cleaning, so I took the time to liberate this shirt from its wrapping, photograph it in it's rolled up shape, and both the back and front of this dark piece of textile. If we get something that resembles sunny days the forthcoming summer, I'll wear it :P
aww yes I remember that post ;) It's sad, you guys as a whole seem so ahead of us, more... read more
