startcooking.com

I came across a great cooking website a week or so ago called StartCooking.com. What makes it really stand out are it’s fantastic instructional videos which utilize a sort of stop-motion animation technique and great sound effects and are narrated by the sites founder, Kathy Maister.

Art Amsterdam: May 7th-12th

I spent last weekend visiting different art exhibitions around Amsterdam starting with the Station RAI Exhibitions Center, in the south. Unknowingly I had crashed at a friends place Friday night which I found out afterwards was about 3 min away from the Exhibition Center, awwwwessssome! So that made it easy to get the art [...]
