are friends electric?

this brilliant machine from 1957 surely deserves the name electric friend

it can help you with everything!

first you vacuum-clean the house with it, then you make a nice fruit cocktail 

with that same miracle machine (with a topping of dust flocks, yummie!) 

and after that you can use it as blow dryer

it gives you that exotic look with real pieces of pineapple in your hair!

exhibition tip : bezeten van stoelen

now in the magnificent Zuiderzee Museum: a great exhibition of chairs by the famous
Dutch designer Richard Hutten

interesting prototypes, studies and sketches give an insight in the brain of the Hutten

some more is revealed by the vintage chairs Hutten personally selected as designs that inspired him

the blue chair in the pictures is the Zuiderzee-chair Hutten designed especially for the museum

until october 10, www.zuiderzeemuseum.nl

you're the best thing

the best thing that happens to us every spring is ... aspargus
Al Pacino is a great thing too of course, a man of impeccable style and taste
the seventies were his best years  
no wonder aspargus was amongst his favorite food then
the other two recipes he gives here go very well with that:
'mob lamb' and raspberry pudding
