Some links to recipes and a couple of thoughts

I felt a bit more as usual today. Yesterday i was at home the whole day. I did do some dishes. I cleaned up the table in the front room. I cleaned up my kitchen. This morning i started with doing some more dishes. I still have some to do. Mostly the pans and bowls are having everything soaked off right now.

Today i walked by Julien. He has a room for rent for two months, starting January 31. So i went though the room and i will rent it – for only 250 euros each month. This gives me more time to look for another cheap house, preferably in the northern part of Rotterdam.

Thinking back about the dinner party makes me feel very happy. It still is in my head.I know i need to start thinking about packing, throwing things away, giving things away. And i will! But i do still feel a bit rosy afterwards. Bless all my guests!

I have some links to recipes for you from last Sundays dinner.

Getting stuff in my house

These table cloths are mine. I still like them. 🙂
Twenty chairs i got from the Vredestuin Noord. Marjolein helpt me, she has a big camper where all the things we had to transport fitted in nicely.
Twenty plates, twenty knives, forks and spoons. Some bowls and serving spoons. Cutting knives. A measuring cup and a sieve.
Three planks to make a table with. Daniël will bring along a fourth one on Sunday. He will pull them together with a back plank with a drill. Extremely nice! 🙂

Early beginnings

Cherry blossom i think - way too early for this, a frost period and all these flowers are dead. I do hope it will flower again when such a thing happens.
Little plants growing up on a wall
Moss
... and more moss
Left behind old cans of beer and other beverages *sigh*
An early start

Aah forgotten!

I just was lying in my bed, my mind still a bit messy. Thinking about my drawings, about dinner this Sunday, what i need to buy, when i want to buy it all. And then i realized. Gasp! I had forgotten today’s post! Damn.

So here i am sitting behind my computer and writing this post. Simply forgotten. I know i thought about it yesterday. I cooked a chicken liver pate yesterday. It is for the dinner party. But i had forgotten to make photo’s while i was making it. I also made cream and butter truffles. Which i know won’t make it untill dinner. They are lovely.

I also thought about the pudding. The vegan trifle is a go. But i am changing my mind about the other pudding for the vegetarians and everything eaters. I’m thinking chocolate mouse is a better idea. Easier to make. And it is really lovely. With some whipped cream. Hmmm 🙂

So my mind is full. The post is only an hour late. I don’t think anyone will notice it. But still. I do apologize.

Salute!
