  • I haven’t found any mexican restaurants in Belgium. Just none. There is a taqueria where I live but it does not scream authentic at all.

    As a kid I lived in Thailand and there was an excellent restaurant there with super yummy food - think not sure it was authentic.

    Making Mexican food yourself is also tricky as the ingredients (dried chillis) are not easy to find.

    Not hard, just fiddly for the fluffy bits. But it is explained with a video by the creator of the pattern. All the other stitches are classic single crochet and slip stitch.

    That being said I wasn’t too happy with how the pattern was written overall. Nothing insurmountable, just not what I am used to. Instead of “(2 SC, INC)x6” it would be “sc in next 2, 2 sc in sc, repeat the whole round” for example. I’m just not used to that writing style and I had to really concentrate to avoid making mistakes.





























  • I FINALLY tried out the Hansa Teutonica game I got for my birthday two years ago. I’ve been wanting to try it out, but couldn’t bring myself to read the rule manual. It’s nothing against the wording or so, I was just procrastinating (I’m good at that).

    1h youtube video later, I felt I understood the basics, and packed the game for our boardgame day last Saturday.

    I LOVED IT. I don’t have any other Euro-games, this is by design, but I really wanted to try one. This one came highly recommended, and I can understand why. There are so many things to do, strategies to try… I definitely will play it again.


    We also played Codenames and Set a Watch, but that was less of a revelation and more of a return of some favorites on the table.
