It's almost spring. To celebrate the fair weather, Jochem and I biked to Rhijnauwen to take a walk around the city's little forest. I insist on hiking more, since I am quite determined to hike the Inca Trail to Maccu Picchu without (1) being sent back due to altitude sickness or (2) dying. The nice people at Peru Treks recommend hiking a 15-kilometer hike in order to prepare yourself, but we haven't gotten past 5 kilometers. Even if we do end up hiking 15-kilometer hikes, however, I doubt that the flatness of the Dutch landscape will prepare us much. But you do what you can. Since we obviously didn't have any money to visit the pancake house, we brought a bottle of herbal tea, one homemade cookie and a few raisins and had a little picnic on a sun-drenched bench. Back home we prepared this sandwich with fries. The meat is a small piece of beef that had been soaked in red wine and garlic for a couple of hours. On top is sautéed leek. As some of you may know already, in the world of vegetables, there is nothing that this girl likes more than leek. It has a richness to it that does it for me every time. It's like the butter of vegetables!
