Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Queens day!

What fun, started with Cava and ended late. I watched a friend playing his guitar on the corner of Nes and Grimburgwal, and things decended from there.

I’ve put a few choice pictures in my gallery;

Pancakes

110g plain flour, sifted

pinch of salt

2 eggs

200ml oz milk mixed with 75ml oz water

50g butter

Flour & salt in a bowl, add eggs, gradually add milk while beating to a good batter. leave to stand for an hour (improves mix) and then fry in butter using a -really- hot pan. Flip or turn them, and serve with cheese/bacon for a savory dish, or sugar/syrup/lemon for a unhealthy option. Chocolate spread also makes a good serving idea. Check out Delia’s classic recipe.

Chocolate.

I never knew the ancient Maya peoples of America were so into it.

Savory snack

Marmite! Amazing stuff..
