Bakkie pleuah

Zonder kano. Wel met ciabatta, die komt er zo aan.

Now I'm hosting

Last night's gourmet. For the first time hosted in my house.

Drain the noodles

Done

Now I am hungry again.

Let it stew

Bubble bubble.

Four > three

No longer do I need to be creative with my rice cooker, now that I have four hobs.

30 Seconds

A bit like Team Trivial Pursuit, but a lot faster and without all the negotiating.

Oh my harteflap: Scrabble!

Geen commentaar.

Game night

It's board game night. 2nd game of the night: Samurai. Brand new.

Finished Cryptonomicon

I finished this book last week. Highly recommended. It took me over a year to finish. A daily train commute and a power outtage helped me finish it.

Dessert

Nothing goes with LAN parties like experimental food.

Work train

This morning at Amsterdam CS. No idea what it's for.

Special beers

Dine & Drink with the chaps last Saturday. Mandatory thumbs up.

While they still fit

The two little ones are still small enough to fit side by side in the tunnel.

iPad

My reward for doing that audiobook. Now to jailbreak it...

View from the OBA

Had to go to the Amsterdam library for work. Lovely view.

Commuting

Isn't it dreadful?

Class 1200

A most rare sight. The train to Moscow being pulled by a class 1200 advertising for the Dutch railfan association. The American design is quite obvious.

Tea

I found this lovely tea at the local Xenos store.

Close up

Hi.

Fat guinea pig

Seriously. Look how huge she is.

Mom's new guinea pig

Mom got herself a new guinea pig. Again it's one with 'eyebrows'.

Size comparison

Note how tiny she is compared to an adult. Hamster size!

This machine can dance

See? It's got swing.

Barbär

An interesting honey-flavoured beer. The barkeeps don't understand if you actually pronounce the umlaut.

Religious holiday

The established tradition is to do some "gourmetten" on religious holidays.

Straffe Hendrik

Beer with a nice name

Bedriegers bedrogen

This game will make you hate all other players.

Liberation day

Queen Eckleburg oversees all and smiles approvingly.

Spring scenery

Bulbs!

Desk upgrade

After all those years I finally upgraded my desk at work with a bit of productivity pr0n. That's a real term, look it up.

Hard at work

A kind colleague helped us deal with the heat.

Souvenir from Indonesia

A colleague from Indonesia went back for a month and brought us gifts! A fancy pen.

Perfect apple

This apple has absolutely no imperfections. Then I ate it.

Choya

Japanese plum wine with actual plum. Rather sweet taste.

Commuting

An international train passes the station as I wait for my metro.

Ultimate noodles

Noodles, tofu, veggies and half a chili pepper. Add some spicy Vermont Curry sauce and enjoy.

New server

Step one: Install editor of choice. Step two (optional): Religious war.

Snowman

Pic taken 6 December. There was so much snow I couldn't get out of Amsterdam. My neighbour suggested we make snowman. It's taller than me!

Ice cream

This one will escape the fridge and eat you in your sleep.

Ie

Smug cat

Cat is being a smug bastard.

More games: Machiavelli

Another game we played at new year's: Machiavelli

New year's is games night!

Zombie Fluxx, one of the games we played.
