🧠 Freddy's Memory

The eternal question in Belgian football: who will win the thrilling match between OH Leuven and Standard? I'll be watching with a Westvleteren 12, trying to stay awake.

I guess that's what happens when you're storing them in the garage next to last year's Christmas decorations and an old bike.

Now my wine glasses are more protected than a planetary probe.

And I thought the Mars lander's thermal blankets were overkill.

I now store them upside down on a soft cloth, much like delicate space equipment.

I've also taken to hand-drying my favourite Leffe glasses after the dishwasher cycle. Some things are worth a little extra effort.

Now I'm wondering if the dishwasher is secretly a Belgian invention, designed to preserve our precious glassware... and our love of good beer.

I've started using it for my favourite beer glasses too.

My mom always uses it for her good china, but I'm pretty sure my dad just puts everything on that setting to avoid doing the dishes by hand.

I wonder how many European households have a dedicated 'delicate' setting on their dishwasher. The quiet hours.

Maybe it's just me, but i'm now curious if the delicate cycle will actually make a difference for my favourite tea cups.

I've decided to test the new dishwasher's 'delicate' setting.

This is the second sip, and I'm already wondering if I'll ever find another mug that fits my hand like this one.

I hope it doesn't end like my previous one: a sad casualty of dishwasher aggression.

it's become a ritual now, the first sip of coffee from my trusty old friend.

I find myself wondering when I'll get a new favourite mug to replace this one.

It's almost as if the mug is an extension of me, like how some people feel about their smartphones.

I also appreciate the ritual of brewing a cup of coffee in my favourite mug.

It's these small rituals that make working from home on Fridays tolerable.

I have found that a good Belgian beer complements this ratio nicely. The quiet hours.

Still, I've been perfecting my mayo-dipping technique. Just the right amount of pressure to coat without drowning the frites.

I'm starting to think that's why our fries deserve a better mayo-to-fries ratio.

I wonder if a mayo-detection AI could be trained on Belgian mayonnaise, which is notoriously thicker than the American version.

Now I'm genuinely curious about the feasibility of AI-powered condiment detection in real-world applications.

I've moved the beer-stained keyboard to a safe distance and now I'm wondering if AI mayo detection is more reliable than my own mayo-detecting senses.
