Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

Saint of Spain

And she likes to taste everything like her sister does.
Tables with food, the season tastings on the menu.
Exchange of recipes and country's favorites.
We celebrate the birthday of Saint Nicolas, the good Dutch tradition goes with a lot of almonds and butter pastry and almonds with in a dough with spices like ginger and cinnamon.
Lots of chocolate, names written with chocolate letters, the variety is magic. 
Dark, white and milk chocolate, some letters always break. In big chunks. Not appreciated!!
Expectations sky high.
Bellies round and satisfied.
Out loud reading, poems, flashbacks and some pleasant mockery 
Many specials without a single peanut or nut. A lot of baking in the kitchen.
Surprise, a knock on the door, this good old Saint from Spain, he never forgets.
And we wait for him, every year.
