Het roomkaas experiment
Volgens de voedselintolerantietest zou ik geen kaas meer mogen eten. Naast al het andere wat ik niet meer mag, van caffeine tot chocolade, is de kaas nog altijd hartverscheurend. Ik sta nog steeds wel eens met water in mijn mond omdat er een lief stukje brandnetelkaas naar me lonkt. Of zo'n lekker afbrokkelende oude kaas die al in stukjes brokkelt ( Read more... ) -
Making Sambal
Somewhere in a distant past, one of our ancesters thought something along the lines of:
"If I were to take this funny looking bean, right, and this pepper that sets my tongue on fire, right, add some of this weird spicy fresh root and I then squash some shrimp into it, right, and drown the whole thing in coconut milk... that would be hilarious!"As ( Read more... ) -
Kometenfloep
Omdat ik in de Lidl nog eens een rondje "Wat zit er eigenlijk in?" ben gaan maken en ik eigenlijk gewoon geen suiker meer wil eten behalve wat er natuurlijk in de voedingsmiddelen voorkomt, staat er nu een enorme pan op het vuur te pruttelen. De inhoud (in volgorde van toevoegen):
- 2 gesnipperde uien
- 2 liter water
- 4 bouillonblokjes
- 1 rode paprika ( Read more... )

Birthday again!
My two dear girlfriends who were on holiday (or had their own celebration) when I wanted to celebrate my birthday dropped by last night for some good Hobbit pampering. First they spoiled me with gifts, then I stuffed them full with lovely food!
I'd been preparing the Greek beef dish since that afternoon, and it'd been in the oven since five-ish. ( Read more... ) -
Barbeknoeien
In goede traditie neem ik een salade mee naar de BBQ bij MrTimmey en Yavain. In verschillende bakjes, zodat hij toch nog "vers" gemaakt wordt na een hele hete autorit ( Read more... ) -
Making bonbons
After dolphirl's hen party I thought making chocolate bonbons was easy. I bought supplies to do some hobbying with chocolate last week, and yesterday I set out to make some bonbons ( Read more... ) -
Blanching the beans
Lover-of-beans, I can be called. Green beans, string beans, flat beans and anything that grows on a vine and is green is yummy in any quantity. I was called "bonenmeid" by my father and have been seen eating nearly 800 grammes of green beans in one sitting ( Read more... ) -
Looking for recipes
I've been collecting a few recipes in a binder after finding my old cook book. It's a small booklet I once bought at HEMA that I had used for something else, tore out a few pages and then used for storing recipes. The thing is quite ugly and I typed the recipes I did like into OpenOffice and did a fancy layout. Now I'm printing the SIX whole ( Read more... ) -
Creative cooking
Living Antikraak* is not all it's cracked up to be. Sure the rent is very low, but the room I get is small and there's other things I have to be less than picky about. There's very little privacy -- if I have my door open on even the smallest crack people will come by, barge in, wanting to share their story, ask a question or borrow an egg. I can ( Read more... ) -
Baking
My birthday yesterday was rather quiet. I didn't want to celebrate it here in Mierlo, in not my own house, with a pretty smallish living room and a lot of loud friends coming over to inevitably clash with my housemate ( Read more... )
