Cyclehack Luxembourg City 2016

June 30, 2016 kewl Leave a comment

Thanks to Cycle Luxembourg, I was privileged to help with the preparation of the first Cyclehack in Luxembourg City. A very nice experience from the inside, where a group of very busy people have managed to do everything; also it was a bit discouraging because it was during the National Holiday weekend and many people decided to travel for an extended weekend before the beginning of the holiday season.

Back to the topic, the event took place during the whole weekend (from Friday the 24th of June to Sunday) at the Rotondes. Friday evening and Sunday afternoon were opened to the public and the rest of the weekend only to participants.

Indigo?

I didn’t even know the term Indigo adults before a couple of minutes ago, still don’t know what this is about, but I (more or less) match 23 of the 25 characteristics. Even more than that, I only disagree with one of them and one left me quite indifferent. Should I be worried?

Mango and Nutella spring rolls

April 25, 2014 kewl Leave a comment

Here’s a food experiment: spring rolls, with mango, Nutella and grilled almond.

In a few easy steps:

Submerge the rice paper into water,
Preheat the oven,
Peel the mango then slice in into small cubes,
Grill the almonds without any fat,
Melt some butter,
When everything is ready, start putting a few cubes into the rice paper, two tea cups of Nutella and add a thin layer of grilled almonds,
Wrap the whole thing and spread butter around and put the rolls in the oven,
After about 15 minutes, the rice paper will be crunchy and can be served.

Don’t try to put too much quantity into the roll like I did as the water inside the roll makes it more difficult to get something super crunchy. Even though the smell, taste and texture were tremendous 🙂
