Need some warmth inside on a cold winterday?

This easy & cheap dish will make you feel all warm & nice inside.
Hotchpodge with apples & potatoes

1 kilo potatoes-peel and quarter
750 grams apples-sliced (not the sweet kind)
250 grams apples-sliced (sweet)
water

cook potatoes 
add apples after about 20 minutes
boil till soft and mushy
drain but save the water

mash (add some of the water if dry), add nutmeg, butter, salt & pepper

A funny old fashioned recipe my dad made me some years ago, kind of Harry Potter effect this stew had, 2/3 through the dish I felt so warm I sweat. I think the nutmeg is the secret ingredient here.

Kunstcafe and plastic soup

Kunstcafe in Oosterwolde, artist Giem Kwee prepared a dish with fish soup and plastic waste, as a protest against the amount of plastic refuse floating in the Northern Pacific Ocean. Scientists have named it “Plastic Soup”

One of the visitors  added to the work of art a glass of orange, nice touch actually

inspiration in fifth gear

Last friday I began an art course at 'KunstAcademie Minerva", Groningen. Such bliss to be back at school, I found it awe inspiring. Inspiration in fifth gear! I want to grow and here they use lots of 'creativity fertilizer'.

What captured my attention was the boys hand barely touching the girls knee,
first touches, an intimate moment in the middle of Mokum, Amsterdam.
