ANDRÉ’S CHOICES
 
Food:
“I am crazy about Italian food. A good steak with fries is also very nice. But the best is krepkes endive.”
 
Movie:
“Sound of Music.”
 
Book:
“ Kuifje (Tin-Tin). I do not have much time to read. When I sit down to read Marjorie has so much fun, because most of the time I will fall asleep within minutes.”
 
Motto:
“Live your dream, don’t dream your life.”
 
I treat myself with:
“Chocolates and every now and then a nice bottle of bordeaux.”
 
An ideal Sunday:
“Play with my grandchildren. Taking a stroll with Marjorie and the dogs. I also enjoy gardening.”
 
City:
“Maastricht.”
 
TV-program:
“Top Gear.”
 
Composer:
“Johann Strauss.”
 
Actor:
“Anthony Hopkins.”
 
My way of relaxing:
“Sleep. I can sleep anywhere and any time. Even after a short power nap I feel refreshed.”

Thank you Deirdré for the translation.

    The krepkes endive that Andre refers to is a very heave dish with meat, endive, bacon, etc. He published the recipe and there is also a video of him making it. Nothing to do with crepes or flapjacks.

    Thank you Virginia, André loves cooking up a storm in the kitchen. A very interesting man with good taste for books and music. I too take a power nap sometimes and it really works for me, I do not need a lot of sleep when I am tired.It is such fun working on André related articles. Deirdré (South Africa)

    DEIRDRE, THANK YOU

    For the translation! It is interesting to read about Andre's choices and taste. Very fine!
    And the recipe sounds fine too, have to look it up and try it.
    But I think we, girls have fine taste too: we PREFER HIM TO ANY ONE ELSE! For obvious reasons: best of all!!

    Thanks for this Deirdre. I agree with quite a few of Andre's choices. Especially the Italian food and the chocolates. The motto I whole heartedly agree with.

    I love the picture. Andre mowing the lawn in his best Sunday Go to Meeting Clothes. Never scruffy or untidy. My type of man.
    Lots of love and hugs xxx

    About Andre's choices:
    Food: I like my 'boerekos'
    Movie: Ja, Sound of Music is very good
    Motto: Yes, good!
    I treat myself with: Also chocolates, ice cream and a nice bottle of wine
    An ideal Sunday: Yes, of course with the one and little ones you love!
    City: Polokwane , South Africa
    TV-program: nicest place to fall asleep. Like to look at DVD's of Paroit and Ande Rieu.
    Composer: Yes, Johann Strauss is in my opinion the best.
    My way of relaxing: Just like Andre I can sleep anywhere and any time and after a short while I feel totally refreshed.
    Book: As Andre I do not have time to read a lot and also fell asleep after reading even one page!
    Much like you Andre, what do you say?
