Dan moeten we ook het woord Hamburger uitsluitend gebruiken voor een inwoner van Hamburg. En niet voor een klef stukje vlees.

Will TikTok still be TikTok after a split-off in the US?

I think we all agree the power of TikTok is the algorithm. One way or the other it dishes up the right content without the need for following a lot of people or other ways of letting it know what you want to see. The question is what will…

Cycling in Berlin Last holiday we went cycling in Germany. We have spent most time in the Berlin area with our camper at the campsite "Am Mahlower See" about 18km from the city centre. We noticed Berlin is a great city for cycling. First of all we could take our bikes on the train from the campsite area to the city centre. This means we did not have to bike the same route every time.

Ik geloof dat dit de samenvatting van de parade is?

Fijn. VVD eindelijk in de oppositie. Samen met de PVV mopperen aan de zijlijn. En verstandige mensen het land laten regeren.

Rotterdam Rooftop Roetsj Rotterdam is absolutely my favorite city in The Netherlands. With its modern architecture and special events. These days they have the rooftop days, where you can visit a number of roofs. From one of the roofs they created this 100 meter slide, and we went down the slide today

Misschien moeten we mensen als Jort Kelder niet zo serieus nemen. Alles lijkt gericht op aandacht. Maakt niet uit of er enige basis is voor je gebral, als je maar aandacht krijgt.

Heerlijk. Zou fijn zijn als Dilan, Geert & Caroline ook zo ‘los’ gingen als Trump & Musk

White Asparagus pickles The season for white asparagus is short. A good reason to pickle them to eat later in the year. I brought a liter of white wine and a liter of vinegar together with half a liter water and 200 grams to a boil. Added some turmeric and black peppercorns. Peeled the asparagus, and poured the liquid over the asparagus. Now let’s see how they taste in autumn.

Jelly fish Yesterday at a restaurant we had a dish of duck with jellyfish. I liked the dish, and even though the jelly fish does not have a lot of taste, it definitely adds to the mouthfeel of the dish. So today I picked up a bag of jellyfish in the Asian food shop to try and create a dish with it at home. #jellyfish #cooking
