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...

Next year I know where i"m going for christmas... 
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!
It's a family tradition to have brunch on Christmas day at my house, and open our presents. I always bake croissants, chocolate rolls and various kinds of bread rolls, and serve them with...

New blog with recipe added this time, some spoilering for the non-meatarians readers, and some talk about my Christmas menu.
This curry can be made vegetarian, with chicken (which I did), or with fish. For the vegetarian version, just add a combination of your favourite vegetables at the end. I like spinach, peas or scallions for this. I used chicken in this curry, but it's...

sounds like a great menu.
we're having lobster for christmas eve dinner with his family, but will probably be on the road at christmas dinner time (glenn has to be at work at the usual 2am the day after christmas...sucks).
when i was growing up, our family always had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc...a repeat of thanksgiving dinner, but no one ever complained.
enjoy all that cooking. and even more, enjoy all the food when you're done making it.

Curry is something I have never liked, the smell of those particular spices just doesn't agree with me.
But I always love when you do food blogs.

First snow of the season came down this weekend. When I got up Saturday morning, the streets were covered in white, but that proved to be leftovers from a heavy hail storm during the night. But sure enough, it started snowing later on in the day, and it snowed pretty much all day Sunday. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas this year? It usually doesn't...

Past Tuesday it was St. Maarten's day over here, which I love. Kids go door-to-door, singing a song in exchange for candy, so cute. It's a little like Halloween, but without the scary or dressing up parts. Though due to the proximity in dates and similairity to Halloween, Halloween decorations are more-and-more used the past few years. It was a bit of a disappointment this...
