When I moved to the Netherlands 10 years ago, I was shocked (shocked, I say, shocked!) that stores were *closed* by 6pm and not open on sundays. Now, food stores can remain open until 8, but most ...
bailyb: "The table in picture 7 is incredible"
Yep - that one caught my eye. Anyone know the designer of the chairs and the table? The setup is much like my place, and I could do with ...
I've done this a few times, but I like to tinker with the pretzel - I just make knots as people like to tear them apart.
I'll add fennel, basil or oregano to the dough, bake it in and...
I second the suggestion of a cat. I lived in a 140-year old home in Holland, where the settling sand base dropped the floor of the kitchen 2 inched below the bottom of the wall! Talk about having a...
I took a few cooking courses in Thailand and all they do is slice the lemon in half and run it across a large spoon - not sure why I never thought of this! So easy, and if it's a slotted spoon you ...

Maike's right - it makes little sense unless it's in the middle of the room.
Also, the designer is German, not Dutch (the umlauts over the a - dead giveaway). He's from Karlsruhe, but...
Actually, I'm finding it reasonably easy to eat for around 25 euros a week (I'm europe, natch). I shop at the farmers market and make sauces for 2-3 nights, make fresh pasta, prep my own salads and...
Of course it "more emotional interaction between the phone and the user" - using this phone, you'd not juts look like an idiot, you'd FEEL more like one too.

I'd really like one but I live in Europe - I know, it should be easy to find one, but here in the Netherlands the selection is wanting. There seems be the expensive choice (1000 euros plus) or no c...
My lovely Aunt Joan used to make them as a side for Thanksgiving and Christmas: split them lengthwise (just the tender white parts), clean and dip them in egg, then italian bread crumbs and season ...
I work in Amsterdam and for many, this is the closest they'll get to a garden to relax in. People-watching is not just a sport here, it's a way of life, and the benches are very much in use when th...
