Sinatra, chicken and Christmas

“I did it my way”, as Sinatra sang. Not the best piece of advice, to be honest – particularly when it comes to cooking.



A few Saturday evenings ago, I invited 3 of my newest friends for dinner. And then proceeded to produce something awful. It's amazing the clarity that comes with age; as I now clearly believe that I should stay as far away from the kitchen as possible.



Of course, I based my cooking on a recipe I had found online. Darn internet. Cannot be trusted.


So, recipe on screen, I still thought I’d do it my way. And there were no survivors.



Seriously, though. Digestion aside, it was a fantastic evening – and my friends are still my friends. Still teaching me much about life, love and bee-keeping.



Christmas has hit Antwerp, too. The Christmas Markets are looking great: (see more on my Flickr pages):





Still, Antwerp turns something rather simple into something rather special and fantastic. Typical.


I’m off to South Africa for Christmas on Saturday, too. Going to spend it with my family. It’s quite significant – we haven’t spent a Christmas together in many, many years. I’m really looking forward to it.


So, there may be no blogging over the next weeks. There may be no photographs. But by golly, there will be dancing.

Warm and fuzzy feeling

I stumbled across this video; it'll either leave you warm and fuzzy or cold and ill. I hope it's the former ;-)
