Many, many, many things are happening the upcoming two weeks: Sinterklaas is in town and I have to help him to wrap presents and write poems (which is the hardest part), one of my best(est) friends is moving back to Sweden and I just cannot find the right way to tell her I will miss her so so sooo much, at work I am currently wrapping present after present after present (and seeing so many excited children 🙂 ) And last but not least I am preparing for an even that will take place on Sunday, Dec. 1st;
For the Dutchies:Â Karin and Mirjam have organized a nice event in restaurant Fifteen in Amsterdam. The event is called “Antipakjesavond-matinee” and the message behind it is that we can make great food even without using boxes and packages of all sorts (I would say making food without them is much more fun and usually turn out to be 10 times better). There will be 30 stands and people will sell they delicious homemade goodness. I will be there too! And I’d love to meet you! We will be there from 12 to 16, the tickets will cost only 2.50 euro! See you there?
For the reasons I listed above, I haven’t had much time to cook or bake, and I haven’t tried out many new recipes, although I have a whole list of them ready to be tried.
So, since many of you have started following me lately, I thought it would be nice to tell you a little more about myself. In this episode: My favorites! These are just the few that jumped in my mind, I certainly have many more.. and what about you? What are you favorites?
