Cookin'
In the lead up to Christmas Oma was busy baking Dutch specialities that she'd never before made from scratch. And so it was that we mastered the art of making amandel-spijs from the original ingredients instead of buying it. We were spoilt with Dutch apple pie, gevulde speculaas and a boterletter. Jacob and I contented ourselves with making gingerbread cookies. The left overs we bought home from Christmas Day at Grandma's included Christmas cake, trifle, cheesecake and Christmas pudding. So you can see we're a bit spoilt for choice these days when coffee-time comes around!
