Drinking beers like the one above, the De Molen Rye IPA, which was quite tasty.
posts interesting only to me
Food diary (VIII) — beer
Yeah, I skipped yesterday, but that was a fast day anyway, with only a salad, some raw carrots and the usual amounts of coffee (4 mugs), diet coke (about a litre) and water (same) to show for it. Today was a normal day. Lunch was an omelette and quark with muesli, dinner a small pizza, drinks the same as yesterday, with the exception of the bad boy above.
That’s the Scheldebrouwerij Zeezuiper (“seaquaffer”), a tripel brewed just over the border from my home province. At eight percent ABV it’s fairly heavy, but not as heavy as the Kasteel beer that nice glass was intended to be used for. It’s got a sweet, caramel taste, slightly cloying, that sticks to the roof of your mouth. Not very hoppy, no bitterness whatsoever, something you need to drink slowly but not let stand all evening or it falls flat.
Of course, if I want to lose weight I can’t drink too much beer, so this will have to do me tonight.

Food diary (VI)
Today I was in Middelburg celebrating my birthday with the family, which meant te traditional late summer barbeque. Dutch barbeque is not very interesting, just cuts of not too expensive meat cooked on a coke fed fire.
So what have I eaten today?
- Breakfast: small baguette with cheese
- Lunch: sausage rolls
- Dinner: lots and lots of meat
- Drinks: 4-5 mugs of coffee, 2 beers, various light soft drinks

Two more years and I’m officially old. Ten more years before I’ll make the same joke again. I learned today I share a birthday with Eddie Campbell, which is neat.
(First birthday in well over a decade without Sandra, which feels weird.)
