Young and engaged teachers
Thursday, January 24th 2008.
Ilse Van Coillie (23) geeft les in Brussel. [...] Van Coillie komt uit het West- Vlaamse Oostduinkerke. ‘Ik koos bewust voor een opleiding onderwijzeres in Brussel. De hoofdstad heeft me altijd aangetrokken. Toen ik mijn diploma had, solliciteerde ik in een school in Molenbeek. Ik had geen interesse in een West-Vlaamse carrière’, zegt ze. Van Coillie is juf in het vijfde leerjaar in de Vierwindenschool. Er zitten twaalf leerlingen in haar klas: elf van Marokkaanse afkomst, één Belgische leerling. ‘Mijn eerste oudercontacten vielen goed mee’, vertelt ze. ‘Alle ouders daagden op. Vooral moeders blijken betrokken bij wat hun kinderen doen. Daarom is er een vaderwerking opgezet. Een groepje vaders heeft de speelplaats gepoetst en straks installeren ze een nieuw speeltuig.’ – De Standaard, Jan 24 2008
Awel, chapeau! My hat off for young, engaged people like Ilse…

Friday, December 21st 2007.Those were the days… Winter-y Sunday nights, under a warm sheet on the sofa, watching Schalkse Ruiters after a cold day of chiro-activities. In those days, we would look forward to this type of television… [via: de Bitches]
The best way to use your left-over chicken…
Monday, December 3rd 2007.… is not in chicken salad or chicken tacos. Instead, use the bones to make a simple stock and whip up a traditional saffron-spiked meat paella. Add some sausage or chorizo, that’s what I did. Heaven!
For those who know me well: yes, I really did say chicken…
Chromeo plays the Portland crowd
Sunday, July 22nd 2007.
It had been a while since I’d been to a music event… Yesterday’s Chromeo’s concert at Rotture reminded me how much I really enjoy a good show. I only recently got to know this crazy Canadian duo (kudos to Josh!) but I’ve quickly grown addicted to their accessible electrofunk groove. Last night, they drove the Portland crowd, including me, into ecstasy as our sweaty bodies were dancing into the night. This quote about attending a Chromeo event hits the nail on the head:
Live, Chromeo is more fun than being forced to smoke crack at gunpoint by Rick James.
What a rush! If you would like to find out what they sound like check out their site and myspace pages, or find an mp3 of Needy Girl here. For my European and Belgian friends, be sure to check them out, they’re heading to Europe in August, coming to Feest in het Park in Oudenaarde on August 26th. Check it out, it will be worth it!
