Wait, what? How is this supposed to make him look better, even in his own mind?

I’ve made Ottolenghi’s eggplant and lentil stew (any lentils are fine, but the puy ones are the best) so many times that I have the recipe memorized. Actually, pretty much every eggplant recipe of his that I’ve tried has turned out gorgeously. Highly recommended.
But yeah. I think the main issue here is food fatigue. I…
On the more positive side, now is the right time to get your passport renewed according to an article I read the other day and now can’t find (could have been the consular newsletter, since I’m an expat). It’s an optimistic move that you will eventually get to travel again!
And I may see my family again someday...
He was a decent Tommy Lee in The Dirt, so that’s my only mental picture of him.
I get to email mine. To a traditionally red state (Indiana), too. And the people I communicate with in Hendricks County are quick to confirm receipt and have always been helpful and professional.
Nope. Everyone (which is me, mostly) knows that the One True Breakfast (usually from a train station Kiosk/AH to go) is a saucijzenbroodje. Or the pain au chocolat, which ties back nicely to the article.
I’ve lived in NL since 2005 and made that mistake recently...My only excuse is that I was in a hurry and it was the dosage I wanted, just not the, um, ingestion method.
You are my people - I’ve been Team “Massive stroke where he can’t talk or type but knows what’s going on around him as everything crashes to the ground, including his entire ‘empire’” for a while now. I’m usually not this kind of person, but...
Everyone needs to vote as if their single vote will be the one to decide the election. Nobody can be complacent, nobody can “sit it out”. This is the most critical election in my lifetime, at least (I’m 47).
Learning the language was part of the requirements to renew my residence permit in NL (Dutch husband, American me), but it was quick enough taking evening classes twice a week in preparation for the exams. I was pretty eager to learn, actually - most Dutch people do speak English, but there’s something very isolating…
As an American living and working in The Netherlands (for a Dutch organization) for the last 15 years, I pay taxes here but also file my US taxes every year. Since I make below the threshold to tax foreign earned income ($105,900 for 2019), I basically fill out two forms, add my income (in USD), subtract my income,…
I love the Welsh brothers so much. They’re lovely, informative, and no BS.
Back before Cherry Coke was on the market, we used to make our own with grenadine. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize grenadine, that sickly sweet flavor that I think cherry products try to mimic, wasn’t actually cherry at all.
Only people veal. Cow veal is still off the table.
I don’t know, but I always giggle when they post this picture. It's probably a Koninginnedag thing.
Honestly, my first thought was “that probably has low ceilings. Look at that second floor”, which I guess makes me a luxury property snob?
It’s an entire game (that I’ve played in every released form, including having it on n64 on release) that’s a solid, end-to-end experience on par with hearing menacing piano music in Hyrule Field.
I keep using the word “charming” and will never get tired of watching my little person use a ladder.
The Dutch have a different view of Operation Market Garden - September 18 is still celebrated every year in Eindhoven (there’s even an “18 Septemberplein” in the city center, near the Veldmaarschalk Montgomerylaan and the Eisenhowerlaan), monuments to the various forces involved, etc. So while parts of the operation…
Yep. And if I go to the drive through and order a quarter pounder here (NL) it's exactly the same cheese I grew up with (US). The meat is better here, though.
