hello mommy.
the last two days have been very surprising and exciting.
after a quick and strong coffee early yesterday morning (i really MEAN early!) one of the elefants, joesy and me took place in a very comfortable travel bag.
after some hours (we could sleep a little bit.) the three of us climbed out of the bag.
mommy, where have we got to?
let's go through this town and see where we have landed.
must be a big city. Mommy, do you regognize this town?
the weather was nice, warm and sunny.
so we decided to visit a big park.
look, here is a large tower.
it was funny to slide down this sculpture. huuuuueeeee!
the elephant found a nice lawn to have a break.
we were waiting, but no train came along.
we saw many nice flowers ...
... and strange sculptures.
what tree is this?
looks like summer is coming.
this was a very nice visit to this park.
we went back to the underground and returned ...
... to the city centre.
yesterday evening we were very tired and fell asleep quite soon.
today we had a good plan. right after breakfast ...
... we wanted to visit a coal mining site.
yes we found some coal. it did not taste good ...
... so we went further without it.
on the lawn we made a lunch break.
then we returned back to the town.
there we found out ...
... that they have a beer museum.
see the bottling machine?
at the end we were able to drink some beer out of a barrel. yummy, very yummy.
mommy, did you find out, were we have been yesterday and today?
bye bye, 3*euro loves the world and misses you
p.s.: thanks to the strong elephant who always helped us around!

Hey Mommy
My stay here is really nice. Today I escorted Verena my host my mom to her work as a nanny. And imagine. The kids there have a monkey as well. His name is monk and he is bigger then me but he is just as funny.
Here is a picture of him, me and my other TV-friend Pink Bear.
Verena went shopping with us and left us in the kids paradise for little monkeys lol.
It was a funny day. Hope to see you soon with more updates.

Lier, Belgium - 7th April 2012
By: Vernella
Hoi Mama. (That's dutch and means "Hello mom")
Its nice here in Belgium.
Today we were in a city called Lier. Its close to Antwerpen.
Here you can see me and Pink Bear in front of the Townhall of Lier.
They are doing some works here right now, thats why there is a fence.
We went to a little cafe called "Bakker Thijs". Bakker means Baker and Thijs is the name of the owner.
We tasted a little cake which is typical from Lier. Its called "Lierse Vlaaikes".
It tastes sweet, a little like gingerbread.
Verena was so nice to find the recipe for you if you maybe wanna try it once at home.
Its really worth it. I loved it and Verena had to stop me from eating to get no tummy pain.
Recipe for "Lierse Vlaaikes"
Ingredients:
1 litre (4-1/8 cups) water
500 grams (18 ounces) butter
1700 grams (60 ounces) flour
For the Filling:
2200 grams (78 ounces) breadcrumbs
1650 mls (3 cups) light corn syrup
4 litres (4-1/4 quarts) milk
400 grams (14 ounces) flour
200 grams (7 ounces) four spice powder
Instructions:
In the mixer combine butter, flour and water to make dough. Let rest
and then roll out to 2.5mm (1/8 inch) thickness. Press in little forms
(such as mini-muffin tins) and let rest again for 15 minutes pressing
it a bit more.
Mix the milk and syrup and stir well. Add the rest of the ingredients.
Leave the filling for at least 3 hours; then place in a piping bag to
fill the bottoms.
Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Bake until brown; let cool and invert.
Notes: Four Spice Powder was usually equal quantities of powdered cinnamon,
ground coriander, white pepper and nutmeg or cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and
black pepper.
On the French side of Belgium they might use 1 tablespoon white pepper,
freshly ground, Rounded 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground
ginger and 1 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated.
The recipe for Four Spice Powder is really up to the individual baker.
You do not have to use equal amounts of any spice; simply blend the spices
in amounts to your liking.
For sweetness this recipe uses corn syrup such as Karo brand. Some recipes
us honey or combinations of sweetner.
Water: If your tap water is not very good... use bottled water; it really
makes a difference.
Have a great Easter time mommy. A lots kussjes (kisses) from Belgium. Yours *3Euro* :-)
