Early hours don\’t always work. Especially when you got to bed an hour late the night before! This morning again, I fell back asleep. It was already 6:00 when I finally woke up. Too late to go out on the road bike? No, and yes. No, because I could have gone riding and still have […]

Don’t Waste It! “Don’t waste it” is what it’s all about. I don’t want food to go bad, forcing me to throw it out. As a rule, I try to avoid getting drawn into cooking projects on weeknights. A week ago last Monday, I felt that I had no choice. The previous Saturday I had
