For the last three weeks, I have been in Kruiningen, The Netherlands, which is in Zeeland, the most southwestern province. I have been visiting my second cousin and his family. Some of the things I've been doing:
Helping with website and editing projects for the ministry with which my relatives work.
Lots of cooking and baking, and I've learned some new ethnic recipes, which I am excited to take home with me.
Seeing lots of beautiful scenery!

| Bryony and I |
 |
| We made, wrapped, and decorated over a hundred of these brownies for the town fair. |
 |
| I think these are the best brownies I have ever eaten! Moist, dense, and just a little crispy on the outside. Is your mouth watering yet??? |
 |
| I finally found a practical use for these origami butterflies that I like to make. |

I've been trying lots of new foods lately, and I thought tell you about one of my favorites! These are Speculaas, which are crispy cookies that are a little sweet and made with delicious spices, such as nutmeg and ginger. They remind me a little of gingerbread cookies, but much better. There is also a Speculoos spread, which tastes the same but looks like peanut butter. Personally, I think beats Nutella any day, because it's not as sweet. No offense to any Nutella lovers out there. :)
