Lately I’ve been wondering something…. And that question in my mind has been raised even more now that Tom has decided to have a blog of sorts too…. Why is it that there are so many more female bloggers? Are women better writers? Do we have a greater need to share our lives with the world? What is it that makes women grasp the metaphorical pen in hand and start writing?
Or is it a misconception of me and are women just being more vocal? I do know a couple of amazing blogger guys, so it’s not an exclusively female world but if I look here in the Netherlands where blogging seems to just now come out of hiding… New blogs are popping up left, right and center but again; mostly women.

Pasta with feta, chili and lemon
It was bound to happen at some point or other… The realization that maybe, just maybe I was juggling too many blogs at one time. Something that everyone else already knew – ofcourse – but I just thought I could do it all… Well, it turns out I cannot. Boohoo…. *cries in the corner of the room and moves on with life* But in all seriousness, I think I am – in a way – addicted to blogging. I just love it. I can’t help myself.. From the writing to the photo taking to the anxiety if no one reads it, to obsessively watching my stats; it’s all part of the game but most importantly I love my readers. Seriously… what would ANY blog be without readers?

Cherries feta and pasta combined in a delicious summery salad
It’s summer!!! Well it’s been summer for this week at least which is more then we could have said at any point during the last months so I am happy.. 
What I am doing inside while the temperatures outside are close to reaching 25+ C I am not entirely sure, but rest assured I will go outside to play as soon as this post is up! I bought some deliciously sweet cherries at the market yesterday along with a bunch of really sweet strawberries. For a minute there I was really afraid that we would not get any good strawberries this year but thank goodness I was wrong.

I think I am in love… Seriously… In love with our three kittens, who are just about the cutest you’ve ever seen. But that’s what any cat owner would say about their own cats I’m pretty sure of that… But it is almost as if they get cuter every day! Now in case you came here looking for the recipe for this delicious spaghetti then you will not be disappointed but I just have to talk about our kittens first. It’s like new parents who cannot shut up about their children and what they learned today. I’m worse then that… Ask anyone who follows me on facebook. It’s kittens everywhere. And I apologize. It will get better…. I think… or it could just go on for another twenty years. Only time will tell!

I’ve said it before and I am saying it again now; one of the fun parts of being a foodblogger is meeting other foodbloggers; up close and personal. So when I heard about the foodblogger weekend that Els from Eetlustig was putting together I didn’t hesitate and signed up for the weekend. Initially there were going to be a lot of people joining but as it happens with some of these events, the numbers soon dropped to a reasonable amount of people.

I put the dahl in the ready set bowl, place on the napkin, sprinkle a little cilantro on top and look through the viewfinder of my camera to see how it looks… Hmmm, still a pretty unappealing dish to photograph so what can I do to make it look a little better. I lean back and try to asses the set and what I could do to improve it. But then I see a little red dot in my left eye and I feel I am being watched. So I turn my head and there is Humphrey – on his favorite spot on the couch – looking at me with a look that says it all.
