“You should take a picture of this for your blog,” my father suggested.
“I only blog about good things,” I protested.
“But these are the remains of something good,” he stated.
He was right.
It was good.

Also good: leaving the dishes for the next morning (so tired!), and a girl that had to return to her own home, staying a bit longer to help me clean up. 

Yesterday:

“Can you help me make the things you used to make when we were little?” she asked, when we talked about her upcoming birthday and wondered what to serve her guests.
Um, yes!
Cooking and baking with my now grown-up babygirl, reviving good memories. How fun is that?
Lots of fun, I tell you.

… and this is the only picture I took on both evenings. I simply forgot my camera after that. Oh well, I guess that only proves that I had a really, really good time…

After a flurry of baking, cooking, packing and rhyming I’m ready for some Sinterklaas fun.

Wishing you all a great weekend too!

Done shopping, now for some wrapping and rhyming…

Ready to bake some “oliebollen”.
Wishing you all a very happy 2011!
