  • We are lifetime atheists with completely different backgrounds, me a baptiized catholic (as a baby) and my wife sefardic Jewish, her family migrated from Portugal to Amsterdam in 1497 and they have a very interesting and well recorded family history.

    My huge family comes mostly from the Aachen region in Germany, Belgium and the South Netherlands. Mine workers. My grandma had 14 kids, you know catholic and all.

    We never felt uncomfortable with each other but our families didn’t get along well, they are not on speaking terms.


  • Yeah it is easy, my basic recipe:

    Bunch of peppers (Madame Jeanette), a lof of garlic and an onion, 8 grams of salt per liter of water, sterile jar and once a day I turn the lid carefully to let the CO₂ out. I like it to ferment for a week mostly, sometimes 5 days. It’ll keep fermenting after bottling anyway because I don’t pasteurize.

    My wife is a big fan of omelet with this hot sauce.







  • And it is delicious. I grill peppers, asparagus, chicory, cauliflower, onions, whole garlic bulbs, mushrooms, you name it. In combination with fresh herbs, salad or cabbage, baked potato, spiced oils, vinaigrette, compound butter and bread you can make a vegatarian welcome at a BBQ. Then there is the whole vegetable burgers and stuff, seitan…tofu et cetera.
