Two fantastic things in one day

While browsing around a bit for a possible recipe I found this great site
http://www.thedutchtable.com/ . And there are so many Dutch recipes on here.

This weekend I definitely want to try and make 'vla'. Just the thought about it makes my mouth water.

It is also a good thing for Xenne en Eaindra to learn about some real Dutch food. They are turning into 'rice kids' if I don't take care to feed them more western/dutch food on a regular basis.

OMG!

We have real live (life) internet at home. I can't believe it. It is absolutely like being in another reality...

I had plans to correct some homework but that's so not going to happen...

Facebook, here I come....

Internet on my phone but no go

Since a few weeks I have internet on my phone. Funnily enough, it costs a small fortune to have internet at home from your computer but almost nothing from your phone. Just like with a computer-connection though, it is a hit-and-miss affair and often terribly slow.

For dun, I tried to post something here from my phone during the Thingyan holiday but i was never able to do so.

The good thing is that I can read the news and push the "I Like" button on Facebook. I need to connect often since the applications crash regularly for reasons unknown or are so slow that you're timed out but it is possible and I have spend a few pleasant afternoons and evenings (trying to) browse through unread mails, Facebook updates, and news articles.

Got it!

This post came up shortly after I wrote about some of the odd things i saw posted in the expat community group. I tried to post it immediately but the internet let me down (again). After that, between having a slow internet and very little time, it just got 'lost'.

This message made me smile but cringe at the same time:

We have ordered new chairs for our dining room. The one we are selling was the first sample and we decided for some changes in the design. Therefore we are selling this brand NEW beautiful chair for 200USD. The chairs is made of reclaimed pyinkado. Pyinkado redwood is a luxury deep red very hardwood that darkens to a rustic brown with age.

Pictures are attached. First come first serve. Self-collector only.



The chair is nice but nothing too special in my humble opinion. Then again, we still have plastic dining room chairs since we haven't been able to find something that we like AND can afford. Not that we make a huge effort to find something. And plastic is easy to wipe clean. A huge advantage with little kids...
