She certainly rules.

Awesome, thanks for posting. I used to sample some of his music from this album (and the previous one) for my own produce.

Awesome, I appreciate you posting this.

Delicious. I eat this at least one time a week. Just normal basil though, we don’t have holy basil available where I come from.

Apparently you are in the very secretive “in the know” order of better games than Skyrim. Maybe initiate OP by actually being helpful?

Finished it recently and will certainly play it another round to catch things I missed. Nice game…

My mother. She is the most self centered, hypocrite person I know.

As 70s kids, my sister and me were unhealthy, hungry, skinny, with orange flaking skin from a fad diet called makrobiotics. We had an overdose of carotene and salt. To this day I do not eat or cook pumpkin, only the smell of it gives me ptsd. She would balance my behaviour. If you behaved too “yang” (probably adhd), 2 weeks of “yin” diet, which was just salads prepared in the most bland way…plus some slapping around or other punishments for a good spiritual esoteric cleansing. I was out at 14, when child protection services stepped in.

My aspiration as a kid was to buy me a piece of cheese when grown up.

Love for cooking started at boardingschool making toasted cheese sandwiches or omelets for everyone in our group for lunch on certain days. I was able to learn in our central kitchen (with the impressivly large equipment) where all the meals where prepared for the 5 groups (with 11 to 15 teenagers per group), and I was able to help prepare holiday specials. On wednessdays we had cooking class were we first would buy ingredients on a 10 guilder budget and then prepare meals, or bake bread and what not for the kitchen staff.

Had a good time there. I was very fixed on preparing and eating tasty food, and am to this day. Trained as a cook lateron, and still cook happily every day for my fam and friends now with early retirement.

None of my business.

Most of my relatives are very concerned who has and who has not, talking around backs…I hate it. Seen too many relatives act like hyena’s after a funeral. I don’t care about the kitchen chairs, the bed wash and what you might have left on the bank et cetera. It is disgusting behaviour.

My son is a good person, kind to others and that’s all that matters.

Puzzle Bobble. I had the cabinet gifted from my boss 25 years ago. Very addictive game.

Used to convert Neo Geo’s to MAME cabinets for Amsterdam coffeeshops.

Also, to me the windmill and the nuclear plant behind it makes a stark contrast between the old and new use of power.

In our village the windmill is still in use after more than 300 years.

It is a wonder Doel still exists. I know about the expansion plans of the harbour and level Doel to the ground, just like they wanted in Ruigoord here in the Netherlands near Amsterdam decades ago. A lot of houses where squatted, lot of protesting, temporary deals and finally Doel is being redeveloped or so I hope. I used to squat in Amsterdam myself, lived in de Wielingen for instance.

I never caught a fish there, once lying to my dad I did catch a fish. He smelled the hook and said yeah sure, good one. My first rod was a bamboo one, so we all went fishing at the Zegerplas to try it out…didn’t catch anything and then my mom caught a Brasem on her first try, and we were all in panik. Another guy fishing there netted the fish and took the hook out.

I also remember there where motor cross races on the garbage dump near Zegerplas that was later developed into a park. That good old smell of garbage and 2 takt motorbike engines. And I do remember seeing speedboat races on the Zegerplas in that time.

Alphen aan de Rijn as I remember was a good place to start at in life.

Is this the Zegerplas? Brings back memories. I used to fish there as a young boy in the late 70s.

First years of my life I lived on a ‘woonboot’ at the Aarkade.

Thank you for posting this wonderful photo!

My son talked about that this week, said a new raid boss is coming. I am convinced now to try. What really put me of is the shit Randy was talking after release.

Heh, grumpy old guy rant….imo went downhill after that.

The prequel, AKA Australians in space was ok, but I felt it was DLC.

I did finish BL3 but didn’t like it storywise or the references and humor, even quite annoyed. A lot happened in Tales of the Borderlands (that I did not play, but my son did) and was bummed playing BL3 after having to ask him what happened to missing npc’s or why some annoying npc’s are there. I played mostly Maya in BL2 so yeah, that’s cool.

BL4 and Wonderlands I did not bother to play, although my son bought them on release even preordering BL4, I probably spared me more annoyance.

First two games I 100%ed, played them so much I would literally dream about them.

Borderlands 2, 1200+ hrs. Only game I was comfortable playing multiplayer without getting anxious and the 14 steam friends I have over the years are all BL2 players.

The Nandan Hindustan masala spice blend is used a lot in the Surinam kitchen. They mostly have this spice blend in chicken, beef or lamb/goat curry with Roti (dahlpuri or aloo). Hindustan people came from British India to the West Indies about 150 years ago and are not per se from Hindu religion, but also for instance Islam or atheist and they developed a fusion of foods from different cultures.

Pigtail is a staple in the Surinam and Caribbean kitchen and is mostly used afaik in (kidneybean) soups and “hutsepotten”. I like to use it in freshly soaked bean stews.

I always buy pigtails, salted cod and beef when I am at our local “Toko” here in South Limburg, which is also the largest importer of Oriental foods in Europe, so I have access to most of the home brands of Asia and also the Indonesian, Surinam and Dutch Caribbean kitchens. We don’t eat much of the traditional Dutch food, as it is mostly meat, patato and veg with a gravy. It’s nice but gets boring quick.

Here in the Netherlands we have a large community of Indo, Surinam and Dutch Caribbean people, lovely people, rich culture and great food. I wish it all came to be without us Dutch having historically a monsterous hand in all of this.

Heheh, my wife asked today, the website? No the band!
