Spring in February/Shame on us for enjoying global warming

Saturday was a delicious day; we sat outside in the sun drinking and reading at a cafe in the nearby 'countryside'. See douwe doing his impression of a Biologist with binos and bird book, if only there was sound, you could hear him doing the bird calls...


As I am "house-bound" I have been experimenting in the kitchen, flirting with Dutch cuisine (Boerenkoolstamppot en spekjes met rookworst/Kale, bacon and potato mash with smoked sausage) - the green peppercorn sauce was non-traditional, the dangers of experimenting with an exotic (it's all relative) dish - But see the happy eater!! The other is a decadent layered chocolate cheesecake...
