Yes. And you too.

We have been walking around a lot, cameras on our necks, reflecting on the last couple of days, from deathbed to funeral. Not all of it bad either: when people die, it appears that there’s a lot of catching up to do. Cousins, aunts, brothers and sisters. Friends, neighbours, relatives. And others. Sometimes I shook hands with people who forgot to introduce himself (or herself in one case). ‘And you are?’. Who knows.

Between all the walking, I found out that from everything I miss, I do miss ‘saucijzebroodjes’ the most¹. And that only because I associate those snacks with visits from my grandmother when I was way younger: every time she visited our parental home she used to bring them with her. I assume she bought them at the railway station too.

In my logs, I noticed that the recipe for oliebollen is pretty popular too. Surprisingly, most of these referrers appear to come from Canadian IP addresses. You’re welcome! Since oliebollen are a typical Dutch treat for this particular day (New Years Eve), have another fatty one.

For the rest, have a safe New Years Eve and catch you around in 2007.

¹ OK, Indonesian food I miss too.
