Weekend Walk

Yesterday morning, I took a walk and ran my errands. I went to the pharmacy, library, grocery store and bakery. I bought cough syrup for D, borrowed two books, bought some meat on promo and bought a loaf of fresh bread.

A simple activity which was good for my mind, body and wallet. 😉

A September Weekend

It was stadsfestival (city festival) of Harelbeke this past weekend. Because Friday was rainy and cold, D and I did not go to the pre-braderie music performances. Saturday evening, we biked to and parked at the train station, and proceeded to visit several music podiums, watched fireworks, and drank something at Ratrock.

Sunday, we headed off to Brugge to attend the yearly beer festival. It was an eventful weekend blessed with lovely weather.

Friteuse

Last Saturday, one of the wires in the deep fryer’s circuit got fried. Admittedly, it was not a surprise because the fryer has been used regularly since 2010! D and I still had our frietjes though, by borrowing the heating element from his parents. 😛

Sunday afternoon, we went to visit three location on Open Monumententdag. It was interesting. We had a sushi dinner afterwards because I did not feel like cooking. Joy…

Today, handy D fixed the deep fryer by removing the burned part of the wire and replacing the metal connector. At least fifty euros saved, baby!

Mustard Vinaigrette

My father-in-law has this new obsession for mustard vinaigrette these days. While D’s parents consume a specific brand of store bought vinaigrette, I made my own using a handful of pantry ingredients. This way, I know what goes in and may easily make a small amount for myself.
