Happy Valentine's Day to you and your wife as well Leo! I'm celebrating tomorrow with my girlfriend.

SearChart · 15 February 2014, 03:07 AM

Have fun Leo & Carl.

Carl, do you like to cook? if so, have you ever tried making a Dutch recipe?
We have a delicious dish called Hutspot, it's very easy to make and it's a typical Dutch winter dish.

We eat it with a smoked sausage (rookworst), but I'm not sure whether you can buy those in Canada or in the US.

Thank you Bas.

Indeed, I quite like to cook but I usually keep my main meals pretty simple and quick. I make sure I have everything in check but I don't cook like a chef everyday, I prefer to try fancier things with my girlfriend.

That Hutspot looks quite good, I'd love to try that one day (if I cannot find any rookworst I guess I could always go to the supermarket and find myself some nice sausages to go with it). Thank you for sharing.

Do you cook often Bas?

I cook with my mom at wednesdays (I still gotta learn some things), but I'm going to live on my own when I'm going to watchmaking school at the end of August, so I'll have to cook everyday then

How did you cope with living on your own in the first months?

Actually it wasn't that bad. Mind you, I am going back to Montreal on the weekends and see my girlfriend, parents and friends on Saturday and Sunday but living alone, although it has its pros and cons, isn't that horrible.

I must admit that I have quite the routine and I got used to it though, I'm not the type to go out very often (especially not alone) and I cannot stand having dirty dishes in my sink so I wash it when I finish eating, thus going against the flow and being quite the opposite of the "young adult living on his own and never doing dishes" cliché...

Regarding laundry, I do it at my parents' or girlfriend's because I don't have a washing machine and dryer but it's something I've been doing on my own for several years now so it's nothing new to me. As for preparing meals, I have my diet planned and make my lunches on Saturday or Sunday at my parents' while my mother cooks her things for the week...it's a good way to prepare my things while enjoying some quality time with my mummy.

The only thing I like less at times is that although I'm not in another country living all alone an hour and a half away from all the people I know is quite the change. I obviously have a lot of ways to keep myself busy but sometimes the feeling of being alone does come up. That's why the weekends are even more enjoyable.

Yes Happy Valentines's day everyone. I love you all.

Lisa · 15 February 2014, 05:09 AM

Lisa · 15 February 2014, 08:56 AM

Hope ya'll have had a nice day. Not much romance going on around here, but plenty of love - the girls each got a big ol' box of mixed chocolates. This is particularly good because they usually give me most of the dark chocolate ones.

The Joker · 15 February 2014, 09:01 AM

I'm sure I read somewhere that Scientists prove eating chocolate is 'better than being in love'

FeelingTheBlues · 15 February 2014, 09:08 AM

Thank you for the Muah Lisa and for the kind wishes Wes.

Love dark chocolate, it's really good with red wine. Just had some Godiva dark.

Lion · 15 February 2014, 10:05 AM

Lisa, just so you know...Hint...Hint...I really like and prefer Dark Chocolate too!!!
I mean there really isn't any other kind of Chocolate...is there?
I believe milk chocolate was invented for most Americans but anyone who has culture and is a Connoisseur knows that the more Cacao in the chocolate...the better it tastes.....

Enjoy your Dk. Chococlate tonite.....Leo

Lion · 15 February 2014, 10:09 AM

Okay Carl, I'll bite.....why 22 bars of chocolate???

That number was randomly chosen Leo, I just thought 22 would be enough...do you recommend me to buy more?

The Joker · 15 February 2014, 10:20 AM

Is it working yet Carl. If not eat more

*Not scientifically conclusive

The Joker · 15 February 2014, 10:24 AM

Lisa you can send me one of those giant toblerone you see in airports.

vitalsignsrn · 15 February 2014, 11:08 AM

Happy Valentines Everyone! ""kisses to everyone"" Um..let me clarify, its the Italian cheek to cheek kind.

Im not a surgeon, Im not planning on performing a tonsillectomy.

Once again, there is a conversation about food.

I must be the only one who doesn't like dark chocolate.

I like milk chocolate.

Wes, Toblerone is an excellent choice.

Im waiting till tomorrow afternoon to celebrate my Valentines Day.

Then I have my birthday party in the evening.

So hard to figure out what to bring for being away just one night. I can't seem to condense my overnight bag.

vitalsignsrn · 15 February 2014, 11:09 AM

I did buy my mother a bag of lightly salted Lays plain chips. She's in heaven. LOL

Did you get her some ranch dip too. Or french onion? Yummmmm

vitalsignsrn · 15 February 2014, 11:46 AM

Art, no. She likes her chips plain.

FeelingTheBlues · 15 February 2014, 11:47 AM

To me, Lay's chips are better when eaten plain...nachos, however...the more salsa and cheese, the better they are!

vitalsignsrn · 15 February 2014, 11:53 AM

I did buy a bag of Sour Cream and Bacon chips for tomorrow. Those are my friends favourite kind. I love Ketchup chips. LOL Wow, we are a weird bunch aren't we. LOL
