I had a busy weekend, with a number of Dutch events -- it's http://www.5dutchdays.org in New York. A lot of fun. To top it off I visited two Dutch places in New Jersey, a store and a bakery. I bought some speculaas and Dutch cheese. Articles will appear on 'the other website' in the next couple of days.

To wrap up the weekend I cooked two dishes for the rest of the week: a big pan of soup and slavinken. Busy week ahead.

I'm turning 31 years old tomorrow! I received a couple of nice presents and I've opened some of them already, including Dutch beer + breadmix and a 500+ page book on Dutch-American relations (thank you!).

I'm traveling tomorrow morning to Somerset. I'll be spending more time there in the next few weeks and months and we even have a temporary apartment. It makes traveling a lot easier since I'll be able to go to CVS and buy some stuff and leave it in the apartment.

It was a long but good week at work. This afternoon I brought our car to the dealership for its 60,000 miles maintenance and for the state inspection.

I brought my laptop and a cup of coffee and had the time to read up on some documents.

When I came home I saw that a garage in front of apartment was damaged -- somebody must have hit it with a big truck.

Sunday night we traveled back home together. The flight was overbooked but after some exciting moments we managed to both get seats, even next to each other.

I spent a day at work in Raleigh and left for Somerset this morning. The flight went smooth and I arrived in the office around 11.30 am.
