Bianca is away.
She will return tomorrow at 19:00.
This poor blogger has to somehow entertain himself for a night.
I just watched @mrviquez's stream which was really good once more and right now I am watching the game on my second monitor.
Argentina vs Kroatia.
I do enjoy the World cup I am having lots of fun watching the games.
I opened a beer too.
Maybe it's my first.

Before we continue I have some good news.
Ned is not leaving Steemit!
Here is is proof from the Telegram channel.

Hurray to all of us!
To celebrate I decided to make a Dutch meal for my self tonight.
I don't often get the chance.
What you are looking at is the food of my child hood. Mash.
In this case, Red cabbage Mash with meat boulders, gravy and apple sauce.
The apple sauce has to be the cheapest one, without chunks.
It's the best.
My brother and I used to go trough a jar a day growing up.
I love this food.

Bianca just send me a message.
She misses me.
I miss her.
It's a good thing I guess.
Would be worry-some if it wasn't :)
Don't get me wrong I like time on my own. She does too.
I just don't like sleeping alone anymore.
It just isn't the same even though I have done it for a very long time.
Therefor I think I deserve another beer and watch the end of this match.
Argentina is 1-0 behind.
Let's see if they can come back!

Good news @ned will be around.
Somehow Bad news get more publicity
out of nowhere.
Keep on postin' and have a good time.
when the cat's away the mice will play - I’d say have another beer and enjoy. Here is a skål (cheers) from Sweden 🇸🇪
The image endes up crooked- Maybe i drank to many beers already
LOL!
"Argentina is 1-0 behind.
Let's see if they can come back!"
Wow, not really!
3-0, Croatie played very well!
Friend, happy night, it is good that you miss Bianca, that's good, it's a good sign that they are for each other and with just a few hours away, they miss each other, that's beautiful, and of course, you deserve a beer and watch your game, and of course Mr. blogger, enjoy these hours to do something much better than he always does, greetings to Bianca and tell him that he has a good man by his side, as he talks about she even when she is absent and that speaks a lot about you, greetings dear friend @exyle, ah and very good news that de ned, that was not a sign of departure.
One afternoon to enjoy a little time alone, a beer, the football game and a really delicious meal this is the kind of moments you get a bit out of the daily routine!
Great news, my friend, that Ned is with us and this gives confidence. You are right, the World Cup becomes more interesting and it's great to watch another great game for an excellent dinner with a bottle of beer, it's always nicer, it's only a pity that you are alone, but Bianca will soon join you! Thanks Mark
Dont guess it is the greatest thing , to belong and that beer? Thats je gegund 😉 soort feestje dat ned op het nest blijft ! Game-ze
It was good second half of the match - so hopefully you can enjoy a few more beers in the knowledge that Brazil's close rivals are looking like taking an early plane home...!
I know this feeling - I do not like to fall asleep alone (I've been with my husband for 8 years). But sometimes time for ourrself is also good for a relationship.
Ned powering down gave many people a heart attack hahah finally those guys will chill now lol but the matches are turning out to be more interesting
That food looks amazing. I have to try that dish the next time I’m there in the Netherlands. Hope you find ways to pass the time before Bianca’s return!
Try to enjoy your alone time @exyle. @vermillionfox and I have gotten much more dependent on one another's company over the years and because I have to travel so much for my job, it's gotten tough when I have to be away from her and @guthrie.
I suppose you can do this hahahaha

LOL!
Home alone time to open a beer a wise decision lol, while @ned powered down this did not give me reason the believe he was leaving Steemit.com anyway I imagine the mash and red cabbage to be very nice as I like both especially with the burger in the mix also @exyle
All lovers need some time away from each other, so when they come back it's gonna be pure fireworks. BTW the food looks delicious with all that apple sauce. I know you enjoyed it thoroughly. Argentina is one less problem Brazil has to think about. Beer and shocking football results feel amazing :)
Was there a reason people believed that Ned was leaving Steemit?
yeah he started to power down 1 mil Steem today @demotruk. Or something like that. He powered down anyway! 😊
Haha, not for me. I think they got worried because of his pd.
which team is your favorite?
Bianca is Brazilian and the Dutch did not qualify. So I'm cheering for Brazil!
i think you really love Bianca ....she is very lucky...and Brazil is my favorite too
I was not worried at all about Ned leaving :^)
When I feel lonely, i just fill my time with gaming and maybe giving myself a treat like that amazing Dutch food you prepared!
that meal looks amazing but I think it would be even more so with a few beers, unbeatable combination!
Sounds like you're having a fun evening @exyle.
Just out of curiosity. If Ned left would everything collapse or could we all march on? 😊
The blockchain is decentralised so it will keep going. Blockchain development might take a hit for some time though.
so is he using his personal account to fund development then?
I do remember those days very well. You and your brother loved the applesauce. You ate it on everything (almost everything, not on pasta I am happy to say).
In the meantime, Argentina lost the game with 0-3. Let's hope Brazil will do better!!
It is always a good time to taste a beer, those things happen when you find your better half, couples miss each other, the same thing happens to us. I am with my wife since I was 18, now I am 50 years old, imagine.
It's a shame that Argentina have lost 3-0 against Croatia, although we have a chance tomorrow with Nigeria and Iceland if Nigeria wins.
Excellent by dear friend @exyle I wish you a great day
Dinner looks awesome! We used to have meals like this too. My Dad from the Dutch part of Belgium. We won't talk about the French...LOL
Thank you! It's a simple dinner but brings back memories. Sometimes I really crave it.
I understand completely. After living in Central America 18 years and eating Latino food, sometimes I just want something that tastes like my childhood!
So nice to now, your father is coming from Flanders. Did he teach you also some Dutch words?
My father spoke 7 languages. Dinner was always interesting...it would start out in on language and go through several before the end of the meal. Yes my father spoke quite a bit of Dutch to us when I was growing up. I spend 2 months living there in 1972. I have lost a lot of it now because I now speak mostly Spanish.
@exyle I know this is a longer interview but If you have not listened to it YOU Should. @dan Larimer is such a Genius..........................
I know the feeling brother, you will be lonely, but you aren't the type since you always occupied yourself with a lot of task to do. Enjoy your day brother still Bianca comes around.
The World Cup is fun, I enjoy watching every single match
Well, the Argentina vs Croatia match was a crazy one. This World Cup has seen so many unexpected results. It's the year of the underdogs!
me encantan tus post son muy divertidos
I am also facing the same situation. My wife is also away and I am sitting infront of Tv and watching soccer match. My favorite team was down by 2 goals
Are you making decentralized aap or just android aap .
Can you tell me what's the use of aap .
Eetsmakelijk! wierd soccer game, not really into the world cup since we dont qualify.
Fijne avond
hello @exyle,When I feel lonely I play gaming, my time is spent, you can do it, you can watch your time, or you can spend time watching a movie.
How delicious to see the game with a meal next to it.
The news of powering down of NED was indeed scary while the good news now sounds cool ;)
It seems like it was a bad day for Argentina .
I think this will serve to miss you more and tomorrow when I get to receive with much love! Btw to be child food looks very delicious I hope you enjoyed it :)
cheers bro i love that food also
This poor blogger has to somehow entertain himself for a night.
Lol, @exyle everyone knows you are not a poor blogger!
How tasty that food looks!
Hey, I know that name from Mr. V's streams, I'm going to click this...
Beer, good news, funny looking food that for some inexplicable reason I want to eat, writing style that can keep the attention of a squirrel (which thank goodness because that's exactly where my attention span is at right now), this is good I like this post... wait...
I'm so jealous you're home alone, I've forgotten what home alone is XD
Though I do understand the not liking to sleep alone... wait again...
I have a four year old I've forgotten what sleeping alone is too.
p.s. sorry the team you wanted to win didn't win
That is a really interesting combination. It's awesome to see something so traditional for one culture that seems so foreign to others. Hope you had a good time while she was gone. As nice as it is to have a little space sometimes, I am pretty attached to my wife and I miss her dearly when she is gone as well.
