Lang geleden dat ik nog iets gedaan heb hier. Lissie mijn jongste aanwinst en toch alweer zes jaar.

Marathon Antwerpen 2011

Marathon Antwerpen 2011

Winter in my street, because it is too cold to go somewhere else :-)

It's a while ago I've been here, just some winter impressions made half an hour ago in my street.

    This bike didn't move since the beginning of the snowfall three weeks ago.We had a couple of days of no snow and even clear roads but that was just a brief interval.

Wrong lens ;-) Front garden                                                                                

Other side of the front garden, I guess he or she will have some trouble to start the engine.

A nice black and white to close, okies going back into hibernation.

Suman is a rice cake originating from the Philippines. It is made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk, and often steamed in banana leaves, young coconut leaves or buri leaves.  It is usually eaten with sprinkled sugar and tastes better with butter added.  There are different types of suman, e.g. (1) suman sa lihiya, mixed with lime water, wrapped in banana leaves then steamed and eaten with grated coconut and sugar; (2) suman sa ibus, which is cooked in coconut milk, wrapped with young coconut leaves and later steamed.  It is also served with sprinkled sugar and /or with butter added.  In Visayan region people call it (3) budbud, also made almost in the same way.

The Suman when it is steamed and done.

Pan de sal

The bread I mentioned before.Consumed hot in the morning in the Phillipines , a sweet soft small bread.

This is also from yesterday, today is too late, there is rain and almost all snow is melted.Baking pan de sal in between and it looks like it will be a bit boring day today.
