Weekly diary #26: I made a vegan hot dog

Posted on January 18, 2018July 6, 2023

Hi, welcome back into these weekly diaries. Want to read along? The past week I brought some stuff to the secondhand shop Het Goed, watched some documentaries and made a vegan hot dog! Here’s weekly diary #26.

Thursday

Another day of school. I started at 11AM and so I could sleep till 8:30 AM! After school I didn’t do that much. I ate the second vegan pizza mom had bought Lidl. I think this one is my favorite but I find it hard to choose. Today I had the vegan verdura, with spinach. After dinner I went to handball training. After we won the match last Sunday I am very motivated again!

Friday

Today I had made a to-do list for myself because I wanted to do a lot! Not everything was that much fun, but I want to share a few things. I went to Het Goed in Enschede to bring some stuff there (Het Goed is a thrift shop). These things were on Marktplaats (which is an online platform I use for selling and buying secondhand stuff) for already a year and so I decided I wasn’t going to sell them anymore. I decided to give them to the secondhand stop. All stuff of great quality. Not much by the way, mostly books. All the other things I did manage to sell. But I gave it away now because I wanted it out of the house after all this time. I also did some groceries for the course Good Food, coming monday we all have to bring our own dish to school. While I was in the supermarket I bought some kale. A while ago, I read that you can make chips out of that and so I wanted to give it a try. I placed the kale on a tray, a bit of olive oil and salt on it and then into the oven at 150 degrees Celsius. The first ten bites I liked the kale chips but then I didn’t like it anymore. I went from hmmm to blegg very quick. Maybe I’ll try it again soon. You can see baking paper on this picture but that’s because I am at my mom’s house. At my dad we have a baking mat, but mom doesn’t have one yet. For dinner I made a simple vegan pasta again. This dish can be turned zero waste very easily too. Only the vegan meat is in plastic.

Saturday

I could sleep in all week and so the getting up early today was quite easy. I worked from 7 AM till 5PM and afterwards I planned to watch a movie with dad but I ended up going to bed early.

Sunday

Another handball game! But, we lost. We played quite well but we lost by a small number. And so I feel content. We were also in the local newspaper today, I am number 11 haha. I also watched another documentary today, Saving Capitalism which can be seen on Netflix. It’s about how rich people are in power because of capitalism. The main character is Robert Reich, the ex-minster of employment. He knows. I could recommend the documentary and I am also planning on reading the book. For dinner I ate Kromkommer soup. It’s a brand that makes soup from vegetables which would otherwise be thrown away. A great way to battle waste!

Monday

Today I made a vegan dish and took it with me to school for the course Good Food. It is a vegan hot dog! We all have to write a report about a subject concerning food and make a dish that aligns with this report. My report is about food security. My dish is vegan and that’s the solution. People are worried that we won’t have enough food to feed the world the coming decades and they think overpopulation is the problem. But overpopulation is not the problem, it’s our diet. If we all went vegan we’d have enough food around the world. My dish was inspired by the best vegan dish I’ve had so far, a vegan hot dog at the Sziget festival. I tried to reproduce that one. Everybody had a tiny part of the dish in class and they said they liked it! Someone else had written a report about lactose-allergy and she had brought vegan coconut yoghurt. She made it with special toppings als so it tasted like apple pie! It was sooo good. After school I went to the supermarket straight away to buy the yoghurt myself. I normally take soy-yoghurt, but I like this better. I think it also makes my diet more varied since I usually eat soy and now I can switch it up sometimes. This was a very good day! I got soaked by the rain on my way home but it didn’t bother me.

Tuesday

I worked on school all day. Exams are coming up. When I took a break during lunch time I felt a cold sore coming up. No! I hate it. I went to the pharmacy really quick and bought something for it. 10,55 euros for one package, jeee. And so much trash that comes along! Medical waste is okay, I want to get rid of this cold sore.

Wednesday

Today was the last official school day before the exams. From now it is studying and finishing reports. It always feels crazy, I won’t be back in class for a month. During class we did a fun quiz using Kahoot. And I have some news. A few weeks ago I had announced that I had become a volunteer for GreenLeft. But this week I quit. It didn’t fit into my schedule and it didn’t fit with me. I want to volunteer, but not by going to people’s doors to ask them to vote for GreenLeft. It’s just not my thing. It’s a bummer, but I’m glad I tried it. Sometimes it’s good to do something you don’t like. Then you can take that off your list and see what you do like next. But for now I’ll take it easy. I’ve gone out of my comfort zone a lot the past months.

Yours sincerely,
Romee

    Boeken breng ik nooit naar de kringloop (daar hebben ze al genoeg van), maar die zet in de Bookspot op Hoog Catharijne (station Utrecht Centraal). Voor als je weer een keer langs Utrecht gaat 🙂 https://www.bezoek-utrecht.nl/locaties/1384283966/van-lezen-word-je-een-beter-mens (er zit trouwens geen Australian meer daar, ook al staat op die site dat dat nog wel zo is).

      Ja, de kringloop staat er inderdaad vol mee! Maar ik heb gelukkig heel wat kunnen verkopen via Marktplaats. Ik ken dat plekje wel geloof ik, volgens mij hebben ze dat wel op meerdere stations!

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Oké, ik weet niet waarom ik dacht dat deze overgangen mooi zouden worden 😂. Ik post het toch maar, want ik vond het te grappig en tja, alle outfits zijn wel echt 100% tweedehands.. De afgelopen jaren heb ik geleerd hoe ik met weinig tot geen olie lekkere gerechten op tafel kan zetten (helemaal plantaardig uiteraard) 🌯. Weten hoe en waarom ik dat doe? Ik schreef er een artikel over die je nu kan vinden via de link in mijn bio. Dit is al het vegan eten wat ik at in Bratislava, Slowakije 🇸🇰. De stad heeft me verbaasd, want er zijn echt veel vegan restaurants. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga dan voor Balans Bistro, die is echt het beste. Vandaag maakte in voor het eerst sinds in veganistisch leef (6 jaar) weer eens quiche! Want ik kon nooit echt een simpel receptje vinden voor vegan quiche en dat schrok me af. Tot vandaag, want ik vond een recept van de Albert Heijn, met vegan kookroom en vegan ei van Plant B die ze sinds dit jaar verkopen. Op deze manier is het echt een makkie en quiche is dan ook zeker toegevoegd aan mijn kookportfolio! Ik ga dit vaker maken, en ook verschillende varianten. Het is zó makkelijk, maar wel heel lekker. Vandaag zat er eigenlijk alleen broccoli in, maar ik ben benieuwd naar wat nog meer mogelijk is. Vegan spekjes lijken me er bijvoorbeeld heerlijk in! 🥓 Als je gaat wandelen/hiken, kan je heel makkelijk positieve impact maken! Neem een klein zakje of tasje mee en raap al het afval wat je tegen komt op: easy peasy 🚮. Vandaag verscheen het laatste artikel op mijn blog over onze interrail avonturen. Je leest over hoe we met de trein van Kopenhagen terug naar Amsterdam reisden met de trein 🚃. De foto past er niet echt bij haha, hier ben ik namelijk aan het genieten van een vegan milkshake (met herbruikbaar rietje!) in Warschau, maar ach. Ik ben van mening dat je niet ver hoeft te reizen om mooie dingen te zien. Europa is prachtig! Dit is Boheems Zwitserland in Tsjechië 🇨🇿. Ik schrijf nog altijd over mijn interrail in september. Vandaag staat een verslag op mijn blog over reisdag 5 van de interrail: de treinreis van Warschau naar Kopenhagen. En als ik zo door de foto’s heen scrol mis ik de interrail toch wel een beetje! 🚃 Dit zijn 3 vegan hotspots in Dresden die ik zou aanraden 🌱. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga voor Der Dicke Schmidt, jeetje wat was dat goed.
