Carless + Patrimony Day in Brussels

This day was a special day in Brussels. Once again, no cars were allowed to enter the city, making all streets, boulevards, lanes, … free for bikers, skaters, rollerbladers and walkers! And once again, it was the most dangerous day of the year to do bicycle in Brussels! No one cares about red lights, trams, other bicycles, or busses!!! Total anarchy on the streets!!!

Aside of this “carless” day, the Patrimony days took place the whole week-end, during which you can visit some old and fabulous monuments. This year, a lot of schools and swimming pools were made available to the public.

Personnally, I visited an old guild of crossbowmen: “Le Grand Serment royal et de Saint-Georges des Arbalétriers de Bruxelles”. It exists since 1381, and these people still train shooting with a crossbow:

The shooting range, and the shooter.

Sushi time!!!

Last week-end, I tried (and I more or less succeeded) to make some maki sushis:

I didn’t have rice vinegar the first time, thinking it wasn’t really necessary, but I strongly advice you to add some together with sugar and salt. I did it the second time, and it greatly enhance the taste of the rice!!!

However, it surely didn’t prevent me to eat my first homemade sushis from the first one to the last one :yummy:! I made two sort of them: salmon, and crabe and cucumber. Also, privilege raw salmon to smoked one…

A wooden plate would have been more appropriate, but hey, it was the first time! 😉

New design…again!

I was quite happy with my last design (the greenish one), but I thought I would be happier with another one. This is why I designed this brand new site like you can see it right now! It’s clean, sober, and it has all the functionnalities the old one had.

And if you prefer the old one, it’s still available from the right panel: just make your choice between grey and green!!!
