I was in the mood to make a nice dinner again. Something that I didn’t have for a very long time was in a oven grilled ham. So I bought a very nice ham (“beenham” it is called in Dutch). For all of the day the ham was resting in a marinade of olive oil,…

About music…
That I have wide interest is very different styles from music is something that is rather well known, I think. Just browsing through the music on my iPod shows that. My iPod is a 80gb one and holds my complete music collection (close to 5500 songs and good for almost 15 days non-stop music :P)….
“Kruidenbitter”
Yesterday at work we were discussing what we like to drink in the evenings. Of course beer and whiskey was mentioned. No need to say that I like both :). As beer I like my beloved Grolsch and of course there are some pretty good German and Belgium beers… “Bittburger”, “Duval”, “De Verboden Vrucht” and…
Interview
Yesterday I watched the Dutch movie “Interview”. I had the DvD already laying around for rather some time, but I never got to it to watch it. But yesterday I finally did. The movie was made in 2003 and tells about a interview between a war correspondent and an actress. But the interview takes a…
Tenderlion with Red Wine Sauce
Yesterday I wanted to make something nice to eat for Marion and me, but without standing for more then a hour in the kitchen. And of course, there are more then enough options for that. As I really like some good meat, I did go for some very nice tenderloins… I baked the tenderloins for…

This evidence was delivered by some mighty business cartel. During the time in jail Tjerk Hiddes designs this super aircraft…
And then the weekend was over…
It happens that after having a wonderful weekend (as we had this weekend) and Marion has to leave for her work again, I feel a bit…. sad? “Sad” is not the proper word, because I am not unhappy. Far from that. It is more a kind of little emptiness that is suddenly there. It is…
Celebrating the years…
Although it was officially Christmas Eve, Marion and I celebrated yesterday our anniversary. This evening has been something I have been planning for a long time, because I wanted to make something special of it. And finally I managed to keep it a small secret for her, which is always hard for me (“Those eyes……
Duke Nukem Forever
Yes, I do love computer-games, but mostly I do like RP and Fantasy games the most. I am really not that in the so called shooters, but a long time ago there was exception to that: Duke Nukem 3D. I have been playing Duke Nukem 3D for some many hours. Standalone, but also over networks…
