Beautiful secret caves: Temples of Damanhur

But the ‘Temples of Damanhur‘ are not the great legacy of some long-lost civilisation, they are the work of a 57-year-old former insurance broker from northern Italy who, inspired by a childhood vision, began digging into the rock.

Cholent

CholentOne of those lovely things that are born out of necessity. Cholent is a slowly heated dish (simmering and stewing) that has to be cooked for at least a night. We were invited for a cholent dinner last week and it was delicious. Read more here about cholent if you want to give it a try.

A love for wine

red wine bottles

As a kid I never understood the bigger human beings and this disgusting wine they were drinking. Nowadays things are different and although I’m not a specialist I love good red wines like a romantic sunset at a Mediterranean beach. A good wine is the good life.

This site is amazing and you must see the video with this Gary guy. His New Jersey accent is great, his energy and hilarity is big and his passion for wine is ginormous.

A rich world

“Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music..

The world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.”

Purple cows

purple cows

Bought a thin book called “Purple cow” by Seth Godin. Very inspiring piece of dynamite explaining the death of the old mass media TV marketing.

The message of the book is that you have to create products that are unique like purple cows. You are remarkable and no one can imitate you because you were the first. The trick is to get this product with the “sneezers”. This are the people that will love your product so much that they will tell their friends about it.

It is funny when you pay attention to your surroundings and you start to notice when people “sneeze” about new products, restaurants etcetera.

Mr Godin starts his book with the fact that we have everything. We’re people who already have a dishwasher, tv, asperine and so on. So now there is only money left in the niche markets. Wonder what will happen after that market is satisfied.

exiting biofuel news

algaefuelThe rapid developments in the alternative energy are astounding. The polluting regular gasoline and diesel seem to become more and more backward. Wonder if I will tell my grandchildren about the old days when we still drove gasoline cars and they will look at me with unbelieving eyes.

Corn and palm oil uses our own food resources. Not algae! Imagine how exiting it must be to work on such a company idea

Another great project from the futurefarmer site I admire: DIY algae at home

solitude

No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored, solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength.

Jack Kerouac
