My little girl has been in heat the past couple of days, a bit earlier than I expected. She's only about 10 months now, I figured I still had some time to have her spayed. So I had put it off untill after I finish work on the house. She's actually been pretty cute during the whole thing. I mean, I still feel bad for...

If hope you're not bored with my sorbets yet, I made some more. Apple, pear and pineapple to be exact. I've spoilered them for those who've seen enough sorbets already after the strawberry and lemon ones. I also picked up some beautiful raspberries at the market, and instead of making yet another sorbet, I made some raspberry sauce to go with the ices (recipe also...

My birthday was yesterday, so I'm officially old (30) now. My brother and I had some pie with our parents and his in-laws, but that was about it for our birthday so far. Our party will be in a few weeks, when my brother is settled in in his new place.

You are a fabulously awesome friend!!! I hope you know that!

I hope you had a great birthday! The sorbet looks awesome..And if you're old, then I AM ANCIENT! since i'm two whole weeks older than you miss you..
miss you..I'm a little torn. The contractor called me up earlier this week, and apparently he made a mistake with the quote (which, as you may remember, was much higher than expected). He used another quote as a template, since the only real difference was in the dimensions, but he forgot to change the price. So I got a new quote, which is almost 20,000 lower...

If you can get a good deal, go with the contractor, because in the long run, he knows exactly what he is doing and can get it done quicker, the saving money to how much time you spend actually doing it yourself might be worth a little added expense and less headache.

I actually read a book this week. People than know me, know I'm not much of a reader, but I read this one in less than a day. It's called "My 'Dam life", and it's written by Sean Condon, an australian who lived in Amsterdam for 3 years, and it's about his life there. A lot of the situations he's gotten himself into are very...

I recieved a Valentine's day card this week, I don't think I ever got one before. So this year, for the first time, Valentine didn't suck . I was smiling all day, I'm such a sap. The girl that sent it is very sweet, I really want to get to know her better. Too bad she has a boyfriend now. Oh well. She did say...

I received some new toys in the mail this week, a telephoto lens and a fisheye. I can't wait to try them out properly. Especially the fisheye looks like a lot of fun to play around with. Even though this tele is more powerful than the one manufactured for my camera by Kodak/Schneider-Kreuznach, I'm still considering to buy that one, since the lens quality should...

Helloooo!!
I've been talking to a certain someone a lot lately. It's nice to have someone who you can talk with for hours on end, feel comfortable with. The other day I was actually so engaged in talking to her on the phone and on IM, that I completely forgot to make dinner. I didn't even realise I had skipped a meal untill the next day,...

i got a nice camera (canon powershot) for xmas from my dad, but it doesn't have a very big memory card and we can't buy one right now, so will be still using my old camera, the olympus.
Ok, this one is going to be pretty massive. For each item on the menu, you can click on the spoiler for the recipe and picture tutorial, if applicable. I put a lot of effort into this blog, transcribing and translating (almost all recipes are from memory, and in my native tongue rather than English), and especially documenting everything while I'm cooking. So comments are...

My doorbell has been acting kinda wonky, so I bought a new wireless one. It plays the tune from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I'm such a geek.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Don't go too much longer to get Tara spayed, not that it will hurt her any, but it will really start to drive you insane. One of the cats I had, I waited until she was 2, due to lack of time and money. Let me tell you it was only cute listening to her meow in heat for a really short time, the it got really really annoying. Ideally cats need to be spayed between 4-6 months old.
