Inspirational quote of the day

Ce qui compte dans une vie,
ce n'est pas la durée d'une vie,
c'est l'intensité d'une vie.
Jacques Brel

(When measuring one's life,
it isn't the duration that counts:
it's the intensity.)

I got this recipe of Jennifer from www.slexip.nl at a nice BBQ this summer. Hopefully there will be some opportunities this year to make this one ! PS slexip.nl has its own google gadget:

Ingredients
1 green paprika
1 onion
15 ml picalilly
15 ml concentrated tomatoes
(lemon juice)

Preparation
Chop the onion and the green paprika and fry them in a frying pan.
Add the concentrated tomatoes and pickles and fry shortly
Add water until the right thickness is accomplished let it simmer for a while to allow the flavours to mingle.
Finish off with salt and pepper + a few drops of lemon juice

BubbleBoard

Microsoft's research center created this cool answering machine:

BubbleBoard uses the metaphor of water bubbles to visualise speech. When a voice message is left, a bubble is created floating to the top of the screen. As time passes, they slide down to the bottom of the screen. Alternatively they can be dragged to the plug hole to be deleted. Within the bubble, an image of the person leaving the message is also shown. How many messages there are, who they are from and when they were left can therefore be seen at a glance.

Sweet !

My brother-in-law is going to curacao for the coming 6 months, to get some work experience so he can finish his studies in communication. Last weekend we had a sit down with the whole family and this is the cocktail i made:

Ingredients
1 part white rum
1/2 part bleu curacao
1/4 part (cane) sugar syrup
lime juice (1 lime for 3 glasses)
ice cubes
slices of lime

Preparation
Give your (f.e. wine) glasses a sugared rim and put some ice cubes in them. Mix the booze, sugar syrup, and lime juice and add some water if you like. Divide among the glasses, finish with a slice of lime.

Have fun in curacao berry !
