i’m wishing you all a very happy, peaceful and relaxed easter time! easter is a time for reunions, good food, light and dolce far niente. in my case, the latter will account for the biggest part. plus some spring cleaning (maybe, when i’m in the mood). and a lot of cooking is also taking place.Continue reading
as a kid and all of my teen years, i used to be a full-fledged vegetarian. meat wasn’t really welcome on my plate. instead, i loved everything raw and with veggies (and cakes, and cookies, and chocolate, but let’s forget that for a while…). i enjoyed healthy meals. during my tweens i started to incorporateContinue reading

i am still looking for words about the things that have happened… i’m still paralysed. all i want to do is curl up in a ball. but since that’s not an option, it’s business as usual (as far as possible). meaning: i haven’t really canceled any of my plans for the near future, so farContinue reading
