... it is time for ...

some action .... this very long week-end was packed with it:

1. getting serious in the hobby

thursday i had the pleasure and joy of cooking again for a group of people. my brother needed some help to assit him at a friends son first communion. ok, they already took a take away thing under the arm for the starter and the main course which i did not really like, but my god did we as a team (Agnes, my brother and Patty his wife) blow their sock off with the apetizers adn the dessert ...

veal in a crusty parmesan coat with salvia
foie gras on a bed of black peppers roaster pears
patoato with leek and salmon eggs
...
desert: gratinated sabayon with red fruits

this of course fuelled my appetite to have once my own restaurant here in Mechelen, maybe a dream that can become reality. i will need to find some venture capitalist to do the funding :-)

2. getting serious about my condition

started running this week-end with agnes and Lauran. Must admit i was the one trailing the pack and my body was aching all day the day after , definitely time to get into shape now i know that getting serious about 1 is requesting a fit condition

3. getting serious my commitment to global peace

i did it, i got my subscription to ello mobile (for everybody in belgium: go for it too; www.ellomobile.com). it is a virtual operator that allows you to let your heart speak. their complete profit goes to the project i selected: helpen to get water to villages in africa and fund mobile schools for kids in South america.

now i know where i will go for my next trip: go and visit the projects i have supported in Africa and south america.

My god life can be so simple on a sunday evening, let's see how i can get some steps closer to this all tomorrow

Happy travels my friends

Toon - I was so sad to hear you were leaving Goodyear Dunlop -- you and I never got to have that beer in Brussels. I appreciated so much your sharing some Intranet theory for our use. Hope all is well with you.
