Thai Basil Chicken


It's only been a month since I've been away from home but I'm sorta missing my favorite foods already.

Okay.  That's a big fat lie.

I miss it terribly.

Spicy Thai Coconut Soup


Temperature Check: 13 degrees C

My Naar Nederland book says that it often rains here in the autumn. That a lot of people also get sick, perhaps from the rain and the cold weather. No wonder people much prefer to stay inside where it is lekker warm  at this time of the year.

And nothing screams comfort like a nice bowl of warm soup.

Chicken Greek Salad Pita Pockets


Has anyone ever heard of this song? It has been playing on my head all.day.long. Very catchy tunes. You can't help but move along to the beat.

Dancing is definitely not for me. I'm like the embarrassing dad with the awkward dance moves that make you cringe to watch. Side step left, side step right, you can't go wrong with that, right? But I do like to dance when I'm alone at home, unrestrained. ha! No.

The hubby and I visited Nijmegen last saturday, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. Very pretty city, I must say.
