Offline
As some may have noticed, my weblog has been for the last two days offline. Well, maybe offline is not completely correct. The site was running, but not in a proper way. Visitors only saw blanc pages. So what happened? For a certain update I wanted (and needed) to do on the weblog a newer…
About Ouzo & Vodka
Today two surprises concerning alcohol containing beverages, Ouzo & Vodka. When Mel stayed here last week, she brought us some bottles of Ouzo from Greece (Plomari Ouzo, a very good one, made on Lesvos). One evening our mood was really after some Ouzo. So we opened one of the bottles, but at that moment we…

Let start with some nice to know information of the paprika: Paprika powder is made of the fruit of the “Capsicum annuum”-plant. In some countries…
Suske and Wiske 337: Game of Drones
And then there is a new comic book of Suske and Wiske” (or Spike and Suzy as they are called in English) again. This comic book has the catching name “Game of Drones” and I think that everyone will see where this title is taken from (“Game of Thrones”, for those that didn’t know). This…
Heretic Christmas
Although “tradition” seems to proclaim that you should not decorate your house for Christmas while “Sinterklaas” (which is celebrated in The Netherlands among other countries) is still in the country, we will start with the Christmas decoration this weekend. I know that I have talked before about Christmas and its origin, but it is something…
