Eating chocolate is always a good idea.
I love to meet people and talk about (making) food! That happens quite a lot. No wonder.
Last month in London I met food-lover: J. The best-brownies-ever and gnocchi were the topics. As we were talking I understood J. made (as in REALLY MADE) his own gnocchi. Something that I assumed was pretty time-consuming and complex (never made my own pasta before). I was impressed. But good news: it's not that difficult at all!!!!

Just went to the gym. Got home and felt like a healthy snack. And guess what I found in my fridge... These yummie bars I made yesterday! Yep home made No Bake Peanut Butter Bars. A damn good snack. And you know what? You make the plain bars in 10 minutes. Want to add the chocolate coat? Add about 5 minutes more. Easy peasy! :)
My previous boyfriend Jurriaan, he passed away 5,5 years ago, was a real great cook. I was super spoiled with him and hardly ever cooked myself. The things I did cook failed often. Pretty much gave it up ;). Or I'd call him, when I was living in a student flat and cooking for friends, to ask him how exactly I had to make a certain dish.
Is it a mocha.... is it a chocolate... is it a coffee shake??! NO! It's a fruity-smoothie... That's the thing, you know. I'd love to show all my fruity shakes in fresh-and-fruity-colors. But it just doesn't work that way. Mix banana, figs and apple and this is what you get.
I couldn't be happier, so why should I be cooking ("Do more of what makes you happy" >> cooking for me)?! No, just kiddin'. We gotta eat!. And cooking, yes it still makes me even háppier. :-D.
Yesterday I went to Milkshake Festival in Amsterdam. Long day, lots of dancing... recovering today. Not with a milkshake but a super fresh watermelon shake. Yes, after milkshake-it-sunday, IT'S SHAKE IT MONDAY again!
I absolutely love those watermelon shakes. Drink them a lot during holidays in Asia. By now it's nearly tropical in Holland too. So a perfect refreshment for today! ENJOY.
