Now that the new year has started the term Living Leaner that Mona started on her blog Wisewords, takes on a bit of a double meaning for me. In fact, it takes on a triple meaning… I’m no different then anyone else around the world who wants to get fit and healthy in the new [...]

80-21-35 or is it 40-21-50? I honestly have no idea what the ideal measurements are supposed to be. What I do now, for a fact, is that my waistline is no where near those ideal measurements! You’ve heard me complain about them time and time again, and you also heard me say I would be [...]

One other piece of meat that we bought yesterday at the Lindenhoff farm is a large bit of beef. I have no idea how you call meat that goes into a stew in English but we call this particular piece of meat a sukadelap. It’s not suitable to eat without preparing it for a couple [...]

I’m sure you can remember the fact that I complain on a regular basis that the food we can get in Almere (where I live) is really not the best. With the exception of a few stores, there is literally only supermarkets in our area. Ridiculous but true. And while supermarkets these days have far [...]
