After finishing his food, an old guy was cleaning his teeth with the laminated menu card

I have a good family life. Making a coffee and tea first thing in the morning for my wife, getting a slap on the butt, asking me ‘how was your sleep suckhead?’

I rather die piss poor than not sleeping comfortable.

Whenever we order out, when I don’t have the energy to cook my son orders the gross pasta that cost 15€ and complain afterwards I do it better.

Today I did not want to cook, so he wanted to order the carbonara… if you would serve that to an Italian they would rather jump into the Vesuvius than eat it. I just skip the meal anyway because ordering out is not satisfying to me.

So damn it, made him a take away style tortellini with spinache and ricotta, shrimp (out of the freezer) and cream with fresh herbs, and on top mozzarella out of the oven, then salmon filet on skin out of a skillet, in compound butter on young salad leaves with a mildly sweet and sour garlic vinaigrette. This is cheaper than the 15€ take away. Took me half an hour, but I am a trained chef.

I do freeze prepared meals though, but I say fresh food over anything else. I certainly don’t buy any prefab from the supermarket, mostly. I did cheat on the tortelinni.

Ah yes, that is it!

The skeletons in your closet.

Veerle is a beautiful name, rolls of the tongue. if I had a daughter I would liked to have her called Veerle. My Grandma is from a respected French family, I am not sure how she got named Wies, she is a descendant from the well known French Moreau family, married a mine worker, so rejected.

Dutch names.

Truitje Fiep Toos Wies (my grandma) Pleun Fons (my uncle) pronounced Funs in South Limburg

Walking the streets and sleeping rough a couple of days after arriving in Amsterdam, tired and hungry, a Portuguese guy with almost nothing himself invited me to his squatted place and cooked patato and onion soup and offered me a glass of port and a place to rest. I still hold this memory close.

I use the same, just a moisturizer after showering, also for the skin under my beard. Don’t need any beard products as well really.

Herbal tea and sparkling water with ice. I can drink that the whole day.

My cat purring.

I like wintertime, it is comfortable sleeping in low temps. Great for my astma as well.

I also like the dense sound taking a walk when it snows, and appreciate returning to a warm home after. Then it is time for green pea soup or stamppot and rookworst.

They should get rid of changing clocks though

I worked at a Samsung mobile phone repair center and this was reason number one phones did not charge. The gross stuff that can come out of a customers phone…boh.

Comes with the years. My virtue is patience and malicious complience.

Just be overly nice…laced with some sarcasme. Being nice will get them infuriated because they want to be the asshole.

My dust mite allergy disagrees.

Small hands, big lies.
