I don’t have much photo of myself. I am not really fond of pointing my Point & Shoot camera at me because I often feel foolish doing that, also my husband is my exact opposite…he hates taking pictures. Has no interest at all. That’s why between us two, he’s the one who has pictures to show around and I don’t. * Quick , give me a hug! *

That’s why I really really appreciate photos such as this which was taken by our friend George during a weekend vacation where our two families spent together.

That was Sjimmie with me, George and Joke’s dog..I must name Joke (George’s wife) too otherwise she might be jealous if I’d only mention George and Sjimmie * Hi Joke! *

Hartstikke bedankt George! I really consider this as a gift.

This photo was taken a few weeks ago when my family had a weekend vacation. We were on the way to the beach, walking, when this beautiful horse cart or in this case, dog cart passed us by. I thought those two dogs at the back were so well behaved, utterly cute! My pug who was standing beside me also saw the dogs and for a moment couldn’t move but just keep on staring at them.

I sometimes wish that my pug is just as relax like these dogs. Charlie, that’s our pug, is a hyper dog. Many people who see him in the park running can not believe that he is a pug. Because pugs are known to be fat and they do not really enjoy long walks. But not my pug! He likes to be taken out 4-5 times a day and he loves to run and play tag with other dogs in the park. That’s how hyper he is. Last year when we went on vacation, we took him to our friends who promised to take care of him while we’re gone. And they did a splendid job! Charlie was loved and pampered. But they also said that he was a ‘busy’ dog. I sometimes wish he’d slow down, but on the other hand, I am glad that he is healthy, playful, so alive and sweet. Ah, maybe the next time we go on vacation we can just leave him with a professional dog daycare . Besides I heard that if you bring a dog to a daycare, he’ll enjoy it enormously because of the number of dogs he can play with.

Anyway, it’s Friday once again…I wish you all a good, relaxed and safe weekend…regards from Holland!

Khao Phad Kung or Shrimp Fried Rice

Just a simple recipe I have posted on my foodblog and I thought of sharing the photo here. This usually happens when I have rice left overs. During my Thailand visit last year, I bought a Thai cook book which is all about fried rice and this is one recipe in the book.
