Hello everyone,
Today I am remembering Rob & wishing you a beautiful day in his native
Dutch language.
Many of you remember Rob & know what a fun person he was. He wrote 2
newsletters himself. One was Live & Let Live, a support ezine for those
dealing with any type of disability. He helped a lot of you find ways to
cope, & resources to turn to in your communities. This could be very
serious letters some weeks, while he also had humour to add many times
as well.
His other one was Rob's Cooking Pot.
This had fantastic recipes & written up in the manner you would find him
cooking them...but...he also had this loaded with laughs. I used to
proof read his news every night before it went out. I used to laugh
sometimes till I cried, at his antics.
I will post the links for those who would like to see some great recipes
& great humour. I still miss his laughter...2 years today...but, I often
will remember & find myself laughing anyway.
I think that's the way it's supposed to be. We move on to the best of
our ability & in our own way. No matter what, Rob is forever loved.
God Bless & love to all!
Have a beautiful day! Patsy
Hello iedereen,
Vandaag herinner ik Rob & wens u een mooie dag in zijn inheemse
Nederlandse taal.
Veel van u herinneren Rob & weten een welke pretpersoon hij was. Hij
schreef 2 bulletins zelf. Men was Levend & liet Levend, een steunezine
voor die die om het even welk type van onbekwaamheid behandelen. Hij
hielp heel wat u manieren het hoofd bieden & middelen vinden om aan in
uw gemeenschappen te draaien. Dit zou zeer ernstige brieven kunnen zijn
sommige weken, terwijl hij humeur had vaak ook eveneens toe te voegen.
Zijn ander één was Rob's Kokende Pot.
Dit had fantastische recepten & gewerkt op de manier bij u hem zou
vinden kokend hen...maar...hij had ook dit geladen met lach. Ik
gebruikte aan gelezen bewijs zijn nieuws elke nacht alvorens het
uitging. Ik gebruikte om soms te lachen tot ik schreeuwde, bij zijn
antics.
Ik zal de verbindingen voor zij posten die wat grote recepten & groot
humeur zouden willen zien. Ik mis vandaag nog zijn gelach... 2
jaar...maar, Ik zal me vaak & vinden herinneren hoe dan ook lachend. Ik
denk dat de manier het verondersteld om is te zijn. Wij bewegen ons op
het beste van onze capaciteit & op onze eigen manier.
Geen kwestie wat, Rob wordt voor altijd van gehouden.
De god zegent & liefde aan allen!
Heb een mooie dag! Patsy
First I am going to give you Rob's very first recipe from
Rob's Cooking Pot, exactly as he presented it...delicious & funny:)
Good day good people, recipe number 1.
Today, or if you make it tomorrow, okay, tomorrow we eat Sauerkraut.
hehe
First a question. Why are American and Canadian people using the German
name for it? It should be called: Sour-cabbage! In the Netherlands we
call it zuurkool. But in order not to confuse you we keep on calling it
Sauerkraut!
We go out from a immediate family. Man, woman, (not especially in that
order), daughter, son or vice versa. So basicly two grown-ups and two
children. In this case it is very easy, because how many children like
sauerkraut? Send them to a snackbar round the corner, and the two
parents stay home for the sauerkraut!
Okay, here we go. First: let nobody tell you sauerkraut is a German
invention. In the Netherlands they already were playing with diverse
recipes, when the Germans for the first ate it!
At best we take wine-sauerkraut. Don't be shocked, you won't find any
alcohol in it. The wine is cooked into the sauerkraut, and because of
the cooking process the alcohol is vaporized. Alcohol cooks around 90
degrees Celsius. But the good part, the taste is left behind. Some
sauerkraut we buy is completely raw, and some is a bit cooked. Either
way, you have to cook it. Cook it till it is bite-done. You must be able
to bite through the kraut, but feel it between your teeth!
In the Netherlands, economic people, we cook the potatoes with the
sauerkraut. But also very nice is to cook them separately, and mash
them. Fry some onions, well done. Mix them through the potatoes. Use
some salt, but not too much. Salt seldom adds something to a recipe,
instead of herbs, and it is not very healthy. But if you can't do
without it, use some. I won't smash a spoon on your fingers, I am not
there!
Potatoes cooked with the sauerkraut. So a hash! For meat we have
several options. What is very good is pork medallions. Thin slices of
pork tenderloin. Expensive though, so why not a normal piece of pork
meat. Fry it quickly on both sides, and put the heat source lower. Cover
on the pot, maybe add some water, to avoid burning, and let it simmer
for a while. Turn around when necessary. I can't tell you when that will
be, it depends on the kind of pan, the butter you use, the thickness of
the meat. Just look yourself, and act accordingly!
You can also eat smoked sausage with sauerkraut. Most of the time you
buy them ready made, and you have to heat them in the package you buy it
in. Tip: stick a fork a few times through the sausage (and through the
package), that way it won't burst open that soon! Give everybody a big
piece of the sausage, or cut it up in the hash.
Tip: very good tasting in sauerkraut, at least I think, is pineapple.
No, not the whole pineapple of course, but cleaned, so we have the
yellow slices. We can also buy them in a tin. Try to buy the unsweetened
kinds. We don't especially need sugar in our sauerkraut. Cut the
pineapple slices in little pieces, and mix them through the sauerkraut.
Use the pineapple juice to enrich the flavour of your sauce.
Another good tip is this software FOR NOTHING only a little -shipping

link</a>
I brought you a recipe today that can't go wrong. You can go any way you
like with sauerkraut. When you made a hash, it is delicious the second
day, fried on a slice of bread! Don't forget the golden rule, every hash
is on its best taste the second day!
Rob
PS Your Indonesian Rice recipe will be along in a couple of days. I am
still eating MINE & working on YOUR recipe! hehe
Ok, I'm serious...you really HAVE to go read this one.
It is called: Yes, Rob can even fry an egg! hehe
I re-read it this morning here & we had a good laugh...if you are
feeling down, feeling upset, go read...I promise you really will have to
smile, OR, laugh out loud like I did. hehe

I want to send you to Rob's first Live & Let Live issue. He was writing
his life story about disabilities & giving help to all who were in need
of it. Rob was responsible (in his organization in Holland), to see to
it that all towns & cities roads were inspected, to put forth ideas &
complaints to make sure that everything was accessible. I travelled with
him to some of these areas & saw the results of his work...he did not
give up until things were the way they should be. At one point he had
ONE store left in the city that was NOT accessible. He had a unique way
of grabbing attention.
He called the TV & Radio stations in the city, to meet him the next
morning at the corner of this store because the Mayor was going to be
present.
He then called the Mayor & asked him to meet him at the corner of this
store because he had TV & Radio crews set up to be there. The Mayor was
thinking "publicity" & agreed to come right away. hehe
He then called his friend to come to the corner of that store the next
morning, because he was having the Mayor, TV & Radio crews meeting him
there & he needed an extra wheelchair. Of course the friend agreed right
away.
Well, I saw this video clip! LOL
When everything was set up, cameras rolling, he asked the Mayor to go
into this particular store & get him some Herbal Tea. The Mayor agreed
right away & started toward the store...nay nay nay, says Rob. Here,
please sit in the wheelchair & THEN go it & get my tea, the same way I
have to. The Mayor quite embarrassed by now, sat in the wheelchair &
moved towards the door. He was unable to enter & turned to Rob & said
this. Rob says "Exactly"! Well...in Dutch = Precies!
Needless to say...that store was wheelchair accessible within 2 days.
Try this yourself, when something is not right...hang in there & keep
working at it until you are successful. Never let a disability slow you
down. There is always a solution to every problem...just ponder on what
it is & then go forward & work until it is accomplished.
Here is the place to see that first writing of his:)

From Kay...Remembering Dad:)
He was exactly this in our lives...one of the angels you COULD see, a
fun & loving one.
What do Angels Look Like?
They Don't Need Wings
I see them all around me there,
With bright blue eyes and golden hair.
Some have different features too,
Some look the same as me and you.
There was this one with hair so dark,
And another one with a caring heart.
But yet another, at such a young age,
He looked the type to be in a cage.
They are all around this world so big,
You just have to look, no need to dig.
You see them on the corner of every city,
If you don’t, it is such a pity.
So, let me tell you now, it’s true,
About the angels God sends to you!
They may not have wings or shine so bright,
But they forever shine, with God’s loving light.
What do Angels Look Like?
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world,
when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if only
you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost
your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had
one.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies teachers, students, lovers and
fools.
They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but when you choose to
see, they are everywhere you look.
So, open you eyes and count all your Angels -- for you are truly
blessed!
Love to all...Kay *S*
