Ice Cream

Today after a somewhat long day at the library I decided to visit the ice cream parlor near my uni and treat myself to some ice cream. The weather is finally warming up and with highs of 20 degrees I was definitely feeling summery and cheerful despite the worries of deadlines and workload.

'' Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own'' Matthew 6 v 34 

A favourite verse of mine reminded me to live for today and enjoy it while I'm at it, so that's exactly what I did !!

I hope your enjoying your day whatever the weather :)

Hazelnut Ice Cream, it sure tasted good!!

Mango Yogurt Layer

I was inspired to make this very simple but sweet recipe by +Physalis Peruviana so thank you very much for the idea I really enjoyed it!

Ingredients

• 1 Mango 
• Greek yogurt 
• Honey 

(This recipe feeds 2)

Remove the skin of the mango and slice the mango into small cubes 

and drizzle on a bit of honey

Then begin to layer the yogurt and mango after each other. I used  more yogurt than

mango but you can adapt the recipe to your own taste.

Queens Day

The 30th of April 2013 officially marked Koninginnedag 'Queens day' a national holiday in the Netherlands used to celebrate the Dutch Queen Beatrix's birthday and this year her abdication of the throne to her son Prince Willem- Alexander. 

The streets were full of people dressed in orange, which is the official colour of the Dutch royal family and hails the house of orange. The canals were packed with people as they traveled along in their boats and the pavements covered as the Dutch sold second hand items. There were several stalls selling food and there were sounds of loud music as you walked down the street, being my first Koninginnedag I definitely enjoyed the experience.

Here are a few pictures of the day !
