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. :)

Oh my sweet Micah Noel!!! What fun it is to look at all of your wonderful pictures and see you in these beautiful exotic places! Please accept my appologies for my limited communications with you. I think of you and pray for you so often but have yet to figure out all of the numbers I would need to dial in order to actually hear your voice.
ReplyDeleteI had breakfast with Bud and Bonnie this last weekend and they told me how great it's been to spend time with you and see what a beutiful woman you have become. I couldn't agree more!
I love you!
