Bugs

Posted on by

Meat is getting more and more scarce. There are more people every day, and even though we can fit more animals in smaller spaces they can’t keep up with the growth of the human population. In our near future we will have to widen the range of things we eat, and it looks like we will have to include bugs into our diet.

Alex and me have started already. A dried bug it’s all that bad, and if you mix it with something else it should be okay. What surprised me was that Alex didn’t have any problem trying a little bug.

Bugs, Alex and Adrie!

Alex covered with lemons!
Alex likes picking lemons and this has resulted in a very big amount of fruit. To bad the taste is so sour. Still, once mixed with water and some sugar the taste is quite nice.

The recipy is simple:

  • 4 lemons
  • 1 liter of water
  • 100 grams sugar

Fake again

Fake Koningsdubbelportret 2014!After the first set of colored coins we were quickly introduced to a new phenomenon. Semi fake colored coins. Actually quite logical because painting coins is cheap and the royal Dutch mint charges a lot for a painted coin. In addition the number of painted coins is very low and they are sold out very fast.

This time the KNM is warning us about ‘fake’ coins with the double heads (former queen and current king). Actually the coins are not fake, they are just normal/legal coins, which everyone is allowed to paint. It seems that to only way to distinguish a fake from a real painted coin is by looking at the packaging.

GC5196A – A rubber ducky cache

Posted on by

Our first cache is finally live! Together with the Ammers we worked hard. Thought of routes, riddles, placing rubber duckies at child-friendly places, making pictures, writing nice descriptions, recording coordinates, asking permission. All for a very nice box filled to the rim with rubber duckies.

The result is a fantastic walk/search through a nice green part of the randstad. Searching brightly colored duckies and in the end finding a huge box filled with rubber ducks.Team Rubber ducky!
