We've been having good sunny weather in Holland , or at least on our part of the land, that my husband and I simply grab every opportunity we get to bike around. We live in this little ísland' surrounded by water and it's just wonderful to go around it by bike, I of course am always carrying a camera because you'll never know what you come across with, right?
Such as when we came across this old water toren (reservoir) turned hotel with restaurant and a marvelous garden. The place is called Vi

A friend who is married to a pilot asked my advise regarding what to give her husband for his upcoming birthday. It was a real problem for her because her husband specifically told her not to waste her money on gifts: 'I have everything, I have you' he told his wife. Aww, how sweet!

Once again I consulted COOK with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook to find a simple fish meal. I wanted my husband and father in law to try something else than their favorite beef or pork meal. In Jamie's book I found on page 222 the perfect fish meal for us.

The recipe calls for asparagus but since it wasn't the season yet and I didn't want to get those avail

Holidays are over now comes Valentines day! Have you ever wonder where the days gone? Anyway, Valentines day is pretty much just around the corner, and I wonder if you guys ( I mean you, gentlemen) already know what to get your ladies for this occasion? I know, I know, that some of you think that Valentine's Day has become to commercialized and even wondering why people celebrate it. Why roses or any flowers suddenly become expensive on this day and why the fuss on perfume stores? Did you know g
