Gado-Gado salad

Side Dish by Anita: Gado-Gado salad
“I also call my gado gado my ‘leftover salad’. When I open my fridge, I often see all kinds of leftovers, you know how it is: half a carrot, leftover bean sprouts, a head of broccoli… I often think of my grandparents, who had to put something on the table with little money. In this day and age, when we have to live more sustainably, I often ask myself what I can do with those leftovers. If you are creative with what you have, much more is often possible. For example, the sauce is made from the last bit of peanut butter.”

Freedom is for me

“Freedom means a lot to me at the moment. You can express your opinion, do and leave what you want and develop yourself in complete freedom. We hardly have to think about anything here. The fact that I feel this and can express it, is pure freedom. I realize that very well and that is why I try to share this way of thinking with others. With people who are lonely or going through a difficult period: in this country you can choose your own freedom and your own mindset is very important in that. I notice that this personal mission brings people together.” You can express your opinion, do and leave what you want and develop yourself in complete freedom.
