G is for ... Georgia

And Georgia is still on mind.
Right after high school, I spent one year in Georgia, USA. I was enrolled at Oxford College of Emory University [wiki:Oxford@Emory]. Looking back at my year, I can see how I grew, but I also realise how much I had yet to grow compared to where I am now.

I had a great time and I met a lot of people, but in a way I feel that I was too young to get the full experience. I do think, however, that I left a piece of my heart in Georgia, and whenever I hear it mentioned I think of all the wonderfully loving people I met!

F is for ... Friends

And that was any easy pick!

This post is for all my friends, in the Netherlands, in Belgium, in the UK, in Germany, in the USA, in Spain, in Mexico, in Poland, in Canada.

E is for ... Eten (Food)

Alright, so I'm cheating slightly, but only because I am bilingual.

Eten, according to the Van Dale Dictionary of Dutch:

1 voedsel
2 maaltijd

eten(2) (ov.ww., ook abs.) (verb)

1 (iets) als voedsel tot zich nemen => aan de maaltijd zitten, aan tafel zitten, bikken, de inwendige mens versterken, de maaltijd gebruiken, nasjen, nassen, zijn honger stillen

I like Food/Eten, and I not ashamed to admit it! Some of my favorite recipes can be found online, and I regularly receives updates from one of the best food sites available now: Simply Recipes. Of course, whenever I find something that hasn't been posted anywhere, I'll add the recipe to this blog (it's been a while, I know!): Bien Manger.

In time, I have realised that I'd rather spend more money on less food when that food is of a higher quality. What can I say: taste matters.
