Pirate Party

Getting ready for Erik’s Pirate Party next week …
here’s some of the props I made for the obligatory treasure hunt.
Seem familiar? Yes, you’re right … Threepwood et al.
Let’s see how the kids (who won’t recognise anything) like it …

Sous-vide surprise

As mentioned before, I recently received and successfully used my new Anova Precision Cooker. Now, I in fact own two of them. As I had some trouble with the initial order/delivery, the Anova support team – after kindly and quickly solving the issue – generously suggested that I should keep the initial unit as a gift (thanks a lot again).
So I’m looking forward to yet more sous-vide fun in future :)

Cheeez

We had Christmas dinner at work yesterday … more than two kilograms of cheese (Appenzeller, Gruyère, Emmental and an old Tyrol cheese) in seven different kinds of cheese fondue (Appenzeller, Gruyère, Tyrol, tomato mixed, spring onion mixed, bacon mixed, chives mixed; and yes, I know it’s eight caquelons) for about 40 group members. Certainly an experience … from shopping, over preparation, to the dinner itself :)
