Finally, the first batch of pumpkins is out in Belgium! Also, the weather here is quite unpredictable, swinging between hot and cold. But I can’t stop thinking about anything other than my specialty pumpkin soup! You’ll soon find out why it’s so special because it’s not just pumpkin and broth. During the Pairidaiza dinner (You …
While I was surfing the internet, I stumbled upon some cool videos about Japanese curry. Some of these recipes had crispy pork, while others had beef or chicken right in the curry sauce. My partner loves anything that’s battered and fried, like fish sticks, fish and chips, and fried chicken – basically, anything crispy. So, …
As summer gradually transitioned into autumn, there was a bittersweet feeling in the air. The days grew shorter, and the evenings cooler, signaling the inevitable farewell to the tropical plants in our garden. Among them was a Thai eggplant plant that had thrived throughout the summer.
