And while there is no visible smoke, the smell of peoples wood fires is saturating the air, in a good, snuggly way. It’s very gezellig.Gezellig is a word that encompasses the heart of Dutch Culture….
The Frida Kahlo
Michele Mazanec first posted this in Craft Cocktail Club on FB. Then Karen MacLeod also posted that she made it. So I felt it should be good. I just didn’t have the fancy rose buds that they do, so had to make do with a chintzy peacock, to suffice for Frida’s fancy head gear she…

The Smokin’ Prick
The Smokin’ Prick That’s what I’m going to call this. I found some Prickly Pear fruits at a local greengrocer up on Spaarndamerstraat, a street close by me. So thought ‘why not try some syrup with these 💡’ And then after a bit of tasting, and pfaffing about, experimenting, thought this combination worked great. I’m…
