Restaurant IntrÔvert

Saturday, May 26, 2012 / BY tRiSh
When we moved to Gent in 2007, we received a map of all the pubs there and BabyLuv & I decided that we'd go to all of them. Unfortunately the map teared when I tried to move it to another wall and I had to throw it away. Early November 2009, I got a new similar map but it pointed all the Gentse restaurants! This was just perfect because we adore going to the restaurant....

Sunny Day in Ghent

Saturday, May 26, 2012 / BY tRiSh
BabyLuv and I started off by cleaning the house: it smelled so fresh and clean. It really made me happy. Then Emi came over. We sat on the balcony to enjoy the sun and we chatted a little before heading for lunch at Or Expresso Bar to have some bagels. function ejs_nodroit() { alert('Right-click is forbidden !!!'); return(false); } document.oncontextmenu = ejs_nodroit; Emi had to go early but we had plenty of time to chat...

Movie Wednesday: Julie & Julia

Wednesday, May 23, 2012 / BY tRiSh
Julie & Julia is a must-see. It's funny, down-to-earth, adorable, modern and historical at the same time and it has this sense of it-could-be-me that I love. Julie decides to write a blog about a challenge she took: make the recipes Julia Child wrote in her French cooking book. Julie is so passionate and absolutely lovely. Julia is amazing and loves challenges too. Meryl Streep is better than ever. Every time I watch a movie...

Tea & Oatmeal

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 / BY tRiSh
My friend Emi gave me some tea a few weeks ago and I just love it. I knew it reminded me of something but I couldn't quite put my hands on it. But tonight it finally hit me: it reminds me of the oatmeal I used to eat all the time when I was an AuPair in the USA. It's called cinnamon & spice from Quaker Oatmeal. I wish I could find it here, I loved...

Let's have a baby | Day D

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 / BY tRiSh
I went to my appointment today. Thank goodness lieverd helped me with the route, I was less stressed about being on time and getting lost. When I got there, I was a little confused because the office is a house. And with houses come doors. Lots of them. I didn't know where to go and went around the house because I saw some machines on the side. But it wasn't there. I came back to...

My home town

Thursday, May 17, 2012 / BY tRiSh
My home town became special to me when I left it. I feel so happy when I come back and see how pittoresque and beautiful it is. It's a true French country town with lots of old beautiful buildings and tiny streets. I love to wander there and just snap pictures, it really makes me feel like a tourist. function ejs_nodroit() { alert('Right-click is forbidden !!!'); return(false); } document.oncontextmenu = ejs_nodroit; My home town became...
