Sooooo, today we went to the wine shop "Okhuysen" since we've run low on supplies! We ended up with:
We haven't seen annnny California wines since we got to Europe...soooo we're starting to learn more about European wines and we've found some we really like.
Earlier Andrew and I were talking about how different it is living in such close quarters with so many people. It's, so far, been a great experience....however, we're having to make some adjustments.
The other day one of our neighbors asked me if we we're letting our cat outdoors. I was curious as to why she'd asked that......she said they could smell urine in their garden. I told her our cat has been indoors since we moved him here....but I've heard a couple of cats fighting during the evening hours recently. Now, I'm paranoid about letting Sammy out to "go potty" in the yard. From what I've heard, most people here walk their dogs 3-4 times a day and don't let them go potty in the yard. We take Sammy for a walk usually only once a day.......is that "wrong"?!?! Are we Netherlands misfits?!?!?
The other day I found something that was kind of a blast from the past......Gherkins! Yummy! My grandmother used to have always have them and serve them with meals....The ones I found at Mabrouk (the Turkish grocer in town) taste just like the ones Grandma always had!
The other day while I was out in the garden I noticed that there is something growing where we're trying to grow grass.....It grows very close to the ground and is taking over.....I don't know if it's a weed....if it'll die off eventually or what. But, right now we're just kind of thankful that it's green and it keeps the dog from getting all muddy when he's out in the yard!
