{BIKING}

Since I've finished scanning all our photo albums, I've joined Pieter for a spin on our Schwinn Bikes.

In the summer without a helmet... Oh, we hate that thing on our head when the weather is above 30°C (86°F).

I'm very happy that Pieter managed to attach my late Dachshund Mauzie's basket on this bike. Great for keeping a rain coat or whatever.

We love to take some quiet roads and less hilly but that is nearly impossible in our area!

We pauze for a drink of water... much needed!

No matter what you wear, it is hot!

In May we still did wear our helmet.

We will have to wait a couple of weeks before we have again somewhat cooler weather.

The problem with wearing a helmet, you can not put your hair in a bun, it will not fit inside the helmet!

But we both love to bike; that's a good thing.

Are you biking?

{Sweet Potato Spaghetti}

Once more I did use one of blogger friend Daphne's practical and delicious recipes.

On the blog, Ivy, Phyllis and Me! you find: SWEET POTATO SPAGHETTI ←click it.

Haha, I had almost eaten my salmon before I thought of making a photo...
A simple supper with cole slaw, sweet potato spaghetti and salmon.

Here husband Pieter is doing the hard work...

And yes, on Amazon I did find me the exact same Spiral Slicer that Daphne showed in her blog! LOVE it.

It is called: Paderno WorldCuisine A4982799 Tri-Blade Vegetable Spiral Slicer.

Just click the above hyperlink..

It looks really funny when you make this for the very first time!

Just drizzle with some olive oil and put it into the oven for 10 minutes on 180°C (356 °F) 
than toss a bit and put back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
I've left it in just for 15 minutes straight...

Hope you enjoyed this unusual dish and will give it a try as well!

{Toadstools Recycling Dead Trees}

If you have a huge garden like we have, than there are dead trees, fallen limbs and what not.

Mother Nature does take care of all of it by recycling those dead trees!

Yes, toadstools can break down the lignine from trees!

Walking through our wood garden, we find lots of toadstools or mushrooms.

Husband Pieter made all these photos while making such a walk.

It is quite amazing to see how the toadstools are the last in Mother Nature's cycle for doing its work. No creature can actually 'eat' trees.

Those toadstools do decompose tree trunks and you can often observe different varieties of mushroom attacking it simultaneously.

These look even beautiful!

Thanks for your visit!
