I think she has lost her powers.

Saving money is Kryptonite for CBC's postwhoring.

Maybe she saves on posts.

That would be the wrong decision. Saving on posts is very costly in the good humour department.

More on topic, I got a whole bag of "oliebollen" for free yesterday. My baker had them to hand out to people to get in the mood for December 31, and to taste his. But he had loads left, so, I did not get one to try, but a bag full to bring home.

  Turning off all my lights at night saves electricity AND makes me sleepier.

So, now you can wake up more early, very refreshed, and post about your dreams, while enjoying coffee from the day before.

Well, pass them around, please.

Do you like a plain one, or one with raisins and currants?

Would you like some powdered sugar on top?

Of course, powdered sugar.  They sound like a gay beignet (fruity - get it?  BAD PUN, BAD PUN).

December 31 brings an evening traditionally filled with oliebollen and apple beignets. And lots of powdered sugar.
From the area I come from, there are also thin crispy wafers called knieperties. I should be delving up that recipe, so that I can make some. For December 31 they are flat, to signify the year that has been completely rolled out. For the new year, they should have the shape of krumkakes, to signify the new year, all curled up, not revealing anything of what will happen yet. The recipe for the krumkakes is not as tasty as the recipe for knieperties though, so I rarely make those.

And what more do you Dutch guys have? 



 

['andersom']

Indeed. Lots of fireworks tomorrow. And lots of "Melkbusschieten". Anything to chase away the bad spirits and haunting ghosts of the past.

I may get a Doberge cake - multi layers of about 1/2 inch cake layers, pudding spread in between with a slightly hard icing.
