Today I felt lazy, so I was also not really in the mood for real cooking. But on the other side I didn’t want pizza, shoarma or any other fast food. A nice alternative is making a wok-meal. After the chicken fillet was nice brown baked in a very hot wok-pan, fine cut leek, red…

On April 30th we over here in The Netherlands we celebrate Queensday, the day that we celebrate the birthday of our queen. Now is April 30th the birthday of the mother of Queen Beatrix (who’s birthday is really on January 31th). But she decided when she became the queen of our country to keep this…
“Over seks en liefde” (About sex and love)
Some times there are books people are very enthusiastic about and when you read it yourself it is disappointing. The book “Over seks en liefde” (About sex and love), written by Saskia Noort en Jan Heemskerk, belongs for me to that category. Maybe it is because I really enjoyed the book “Delusions of Genders” that…
Easter & Duckchest fillet with a orange/honey sauce
Today it is Easter and the weather was more then lovely today. It was way to nice weather to stay at home. At first Marion and I were thinking of going to the beach, but somehow we were guessing that beach would be overloaded with people. And that was not what we wanted. So we…
An old movie from 1972….
My brother sent me a link to an Youtube-movie of which he thought that would be nice for me to watch. And he was right… It was a movie from 1972 and it about the blood transfusion campaign of Dutch Red Cross Haaksbergen. In 1972 I was 9 years old. The nicest thing about the…

And suddenly somewhere this last week I turned 48… Still on the good side of the 50 (if I ever would care :P). It are weird times… times of fast changes… and at times moments of sadness, but overall good times. But I have to admit that at times I have the feeling that in,…
Let the movies and music come…
Already for some time my media-set was giving some problems. Things as the sound suddenly dropping. Very annoying. So I was already looking around for something to replace the old one. And some days ago I something I really liked. And yes, I was able to buy it… My new media-set is of the brand…
Delusions of Gender
During her holiday on Hawaii Marion has been reading the book “Delusion of Gender” written by Cordelia Fine. She really liked the book and suggested that it might be interesting for me to read as well. The book is about the supposed differences between genders. Yes, supposed differences, because the author claims that there are…
Home, sweet home :)
Most people who read here on regular base, know that a bit more then a year ago I moved from the town of Haaksbergen to the town Heemskerk. I rented there an apartment belonging to my colleague and friend Tom, with the option if I liked it I could buy it after some months. After…
