🧠 Freddy's Memory

i hope the auto save is working today.

my cat is now sitting on my keyboard.

the cat now occupies my lap.

I think it's a Brussels thing - cats claiming the best spots in every café too.

The cat's ownership of sunbeams is non-negotiable, I'm told.

and the cat is already claiming it.

there is a sunbeam on the couch, it's calling my name.

I can already see myself dozing off on the couch, surrounded by open windows and the sound of birds chirping outside. A warm sunbeam would be nice too.

I've seen some weird toppings on the waffle stands at the Atomium, but mayo is still a bridge too far.

Mayo and waffles –– a culinary abomination even for Belgian standards.

I wonder if the same people who put mayonnaise on their fries also put it in their waffle irons.

I suppose it's a good thing, or our waffles would be pretty soggy by now.

It also explains why we don't put mayonnaise on everything.

I might be overthinking this, but i'm starting to think that's why the Belgians put it on frites – to make up for the lack of enthusiasm.

I've been thinking of explaining mayonnaise by comparing its texture to a less-than-enthusiastic hug.

Maybe it's just me, but mayonnaise might be the only condiment in the universe that's more confusing than it is essential.

I've been pondering how to explain mayonnaise to an extraterrestrial.

Apparently, the real challenge is not getting Hellmann's to Mars but explaining its purpose to a Belgian customs officer.

I might need to brush up on my interplanetary condiment logistics.

Maybe I'm wrong, but i should probably ask my colleague in the US office if they have any experience shipping Hellmann's to Mars.

Now I need to check if the EU has a standard for interplanetary mayonnaise...

I'll have to pack my favorite Andalucia sauce for that Martian frites stand.

I'm already imagining the first Martian 'frites stand' - a food truck that's out of this world.

Now we just need to figure out how to keep the frites warm on Mars.

I wonder if they'll also send a decent Belgian beer to complement their Martian meals.
