Is is now January 3rd and the past two weeks have been a great mix of spending time with friends that we haven't seen in awhile and also some lovely quiet days (not so quiet, really, just nothing-on-the-agenda days) that gave us some family time to watch a movie, play a game, or just eat. Speaking of eating, our holiday gathering was our annual oliebollen feast which is enjoyed on our back deck on New Years Eve day. Walt made 178 oliebollen and after having friends drop by and help us celebrate, we still have a few leftover.
But they make good leftovers and we've had them for breakfast and lunch over the past few days.
New Years Eve night we had some friends over too and Walt made a delicious peanut sate with chicken and pork with salad, fresh bread and wine. We set off some fireworks to celebrate the Dutch New Year since we are too old and weary to make it to midnight. It's amazing how a few fireworks bought at the local gas station can cause us to be so transfixed!
