Aha Erlebnis. I have been wondering for a while why my kitchen gloves always ended up - sometimes quite soon - by being latched. OK, they are cheap gloves, but nonetheless, this happens a bit too often. Then, suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I saw the shadow of a tail... #mischievouscat

My extremely modest contribution to the commemorations we have these days. Clarence (Cal) Haggitt was the husband of one of my mother's best friends. He was Canadian, but he and his wife, Margaret, went to England in the 30s. Cal worked for rhe BBC, Margaret, a nurse, worked in St Thomas' Hospital, where my mom worked too. When the war broke out, Cal engaged in the RAF. His plane was shot down, and he was buried in rhe Commonwealth War Cemetery in Amsterdam. Margaret moved back to Canada with her 6 month old daughter Anne. After the war, my mother, who had moved back to her home country the Netherlands, took care of Cal's grave. Margaret - and later Anne too - came to Amsterdam whenever she could. My mother and Margaret died a long time ago, but Anne and I are still friends, although she now lives in Australia. We see each other whenever we can. My sister-in-law, Jeanne Wesselius, who was a painter and a poet, wrote a beautiful poem about Cal and his companions, and it is still read sometimes at some ceremonies at the cemetery. #commemoration #D-Day #Canada #Canadians #Liberation #WWII

It's Wednesday, hence no-recipe recipe day @samsifton @nytcooking . I had some cooked salmon leftover, and some runner beans in the fridge. Cooked the beans cooked some pasta, mixed everything together wirh part of rhe water in which I cooked the pasta, added some capers, the juice of half a lemon, a lot of pepper and parsley and basil. Delicious. #no-recipe-recipe #salmon #greenbeans #pasta

Multiseed muffin with homemade lemon curd. Yummie without giving too bad a conscience. Cery tasty, full of grains/seeds/fiber. Thanks to @davidlebovitz (I made a few slight modifications to his recipe, following the contents of my pantry. )

From start to finish, images from our 10 km walk through the dunes near Castricum (yes, a Roman settlement now a sea resort), "Oer-IJ expeditie" (centuries ago, this region used to be the river IJ's delta). The weather was fine, the dunes and woods around them were beautiful as always, and these two old ladies made it without too much trouble. Oh yes, and there was a kind of enactment of the battle that took place here in 1799, when French troops (which occupied the Netherlands at the time), helped by their Russian counterparts, stopped the English would-be invaders at this very spot. A sign said, "Remains of soldiers were buried here under the sand". Actually, the enactment consisted of three soldiers telling what happened here, one from each army... #walk #hike #Oer-IJ #Castricum #dunes #lechampion

Strawberry tart with chocolatey crust (thanks to @clarkbar and @nytcooking ), almond cream (crème d'amande; thanks to @chefsimon) and raspberry glazing (thanks to my own recipe). Very tasty!
