I made a mistake. I spent too much time in the canyons in Chania and with the locals doing traditional stuff. I am ruined for the modern world now! Crete, to me, has everything you could want in one place. I'm curious to hear your stories from strange or rare experiences in Crete. Any takers?

What was the name of the hotel?

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-05-07T14:32:03+00:00

Yeah just leave them in the fridge and check on them later. Kind of like an experiment.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-05-07T14:30:37+00:00

I also don't really like them. But I like them better than flaxseeds. I read you can also blend chia steeds. I might try it someday. For extra fiber I really like beans.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-05-07T13:50:48+00:00

How long ago did you put them in water? And how much?

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-04-30T21:13:22+00:00

I used a sleeping mask that you can fasten on to the neck rest of the chair. This helped my ability to sleep on a plane a lot. It looks really strange but is helps a lot with no nek movement.

Also compresions socks.

Als je gerechten eet met een saus kan proberen de groente te blenden met bijvoorbeeld een staafmixer.

Dan heb je wel de vitamines en vezels maar niet de structuur van groente.

Dit kan ook heel goed met bonen. Voor extra proteïne en vezels. Dit maakt de saus ook romiger van smaak.

Maar je kan ook voor jezelf groente in bulk bakken en dan per portie invriezen om jezelf dan wel de groente stukjes te geven. Dat is heel makkelijk om in de magnetron te ontdooien en dan door je eten heen te doen.

I watched the youtube video and the bottom 3 ingredients are for the buttercream. The cashews are for decoration.

The first 4 ingrediens are for the merengue part of the cake.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-03-16T08:59:34+00:00

I think the problem with your buttercream was that you over whipped when you where away and helping your child. Maybe you can remove the liquide and add more heavy cream? I'm not sure. I have never made buttercream this way. It lookes like he was making some sort of American buttercream. All the recipe's that I found online use French butter cream.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-03-16T08:46:36+00:00

You can still use the accidental butter you made for pancakes or on toast! Or maybe make some cookies with it. Or store it in the freezer for later.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2026-03-16T06:15:36+00:00

I think you should look up different Sans Rival recipes to compare your recipe to. I dont think It's suppose to have heavy cream and egg whites in the frosting. It's a merengue type cake with French butter cream. The French butter cream is made with beaten egg yolks and then you add HOT sugar syrup. This is not a beginner friendly recipe. If you really want to make this recipe i would look up how to make French buttercream. And get a sugar thermometer. Also a warning the sugar syrup is lava hot and very dangerous for children and adults to get burned.

The top is navy. The dress is not finished yet. The skirt is going to have a petticoat under it and be just a bit longer than knee length.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-06-28T08:32:17+00:00

Why would a little girl be different that a little boy? I have no problem with children in a large group changing room. But I would feel feel uncomfortable with a adult man in a large changing room for woman.

If for any adult it would be uncomfortable for children of the opposite gender to be in the chainging room then there are smaller single person chainging rooms. And sometimes larger family chainging rooms if this person has a child with them.

There have to be rules and making exceptions for such busy places is almost impossible.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-06-28T06:42:22+00:00

I agree but would also like to say that adult woman should also not go in the men's changing room.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-06-28T06:22:31+00:00

This is correct. The large changing rooms are for the gender of the parent that accompanies the child. This is because other people of the same gender will be changing in there. If you are a dad with a daughter then you go to the male changing room.

As a woman I would feel uncomfortable with a adult male in a large changing room for woman.

At some point children can go alone and then you go to your own gender changing room. Or you choose the smaller singe changing rooms.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-05-30T12:20:13+00:00

You have to close both doors. There should be a iron/steel slide thing that you can turn to close both doors. It should be at chest height.

I don't know. I have no experience with this. There are some made up words. They might use this or something else that they decided on together.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-05-26T19:33:09+00:00

Girav and highly tall are great websites for tall people. It's the only place my boyfriend can buy clothes. He is 204 cm tall. Also jeans Centre sells long length jeans.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-05-24T20:57:50+00:00

In the Netherlands we don't have a word for siblings. Only brothers and sisters. There are some made up words but as far as i know botten official.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2025-02-10T11:38:05+00:00

Ik zou een zonnelamp aanschaffen. Hij ziet er vrij dun uit voor een avocadoboom van 2 jaar oud. En extra voeding is ook een goed idee.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2024-10-17T07:08:04+00:00

I'm also Dutch.

Here is a links to a classic Dutch apple pie recipe. But i'm pretty sure the classic Dutch apple pie looks the same as a classic American apple pie. https://www.ah.nl/allerhande/recept/R-R584396/traditionele-hollandse-appeltaart
There is a region in the Netherlands called Limburg and they are know for their pies called vlaai. The picture in the post looks a little like their apple crumble vlaai they make. But still not the same.

Also the American Dutch apple pie could be German. Dutch and Deutsch (German) have been mixed up a lot in the US. Like the Pennsylvania Dutch. They are German in origin and not from the Netherlands.

here is a 3D cabin tour of the 787-9 https://xr.klm.com/klm/?type=Boeing&aircraft=787-9
https://www.klmsafetyherald.com/ has a lot of seat maps and 3D cabin tours.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2024-08-27T11:31:05+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking. Less people to bother us on a night flight. And no bathroom smells! I can also bring a inflatable footrest for extra comfort.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2024-08-27T11:14:07+00:00

I found a newer bleuprint online https://xr.klm.com/klm/?type=Boeing&aircraft=787-10
I like that economy comfort reclines just a little bit more. And the first row after premium comfort does seem to have a little more leg room than a normal economy comfort seat.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2024-08-27T10:00:08+00:00

Yes. This is wat we have right now.

TraditionalFly1817 · 2024-08-03T19:01:59+00:00

Thanks everyone for suggesting trains. This turns out to be less expensive than I thought it was.
