Janson's Temptation

Post Christmas Lunch at Birgit and Oystein eating delicious leftovers and a special dish called Janson's Temptation with potatoes, onions and anchovies...

LANFERMEIJERTJES

This one is in Dutch!
Herman was in de buurt en kwam een middag langs met zijn dochters Noor en Pien.
Zij vonden dat we voor de kerst niet genoeg versierd hadden en zijn meteen aan de slag gegaan met de hokken van Boy en Sien.

Het resultaat: Mooi!
Ik geloof dat Pien wil blijven slapen....

Pien.

Sien.

Het duurde even voordat Boy over zijn verlegenheid heen kwam maar daarna was het dikke vrienden!
Was gezellig!

boxing day lunch

We had Mike, Zulema and Rebecca over for lunch on boxing day.
Here you can see the difference between a real photographer and ... me taking a picture.
Here you see that I didn't notice that Chris was hiding behind the candles


And Chris just waited untill I moved into the picture (although Zulema looks pretty funny here....)
Had a lovely lively afternoon with lots of cava and conversation.

XMAS

Willow has made personalised christmas cards for all her friends and made our choice for a card easy this year... Merry Christmas!

These cosy hammocks are super-comfortable and you feel like you're in a womb.
I want one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMMA and JOCHEM!

second harvest olive oil

Because they had such a big crop our neighbours Birgit and Oystein decided to harvest olives a second time and try out a new mill. We helped them pick and this time we harvested 666 kilo's of olives. The oil tastes devilishly good!


The olives are poured into a big underground container.


Transport belts bring the olives up to be washed and weighed and from there into the mill.


The actual press and machines look impressive here.


Everything is computerised.


And at the end liquid gold pours out.
We had 90 liters of olive oil this time: not bad!
The quality was tested and the PH value was 0.5 which means it is 'extra virgin'...

CUMPLEAÑOS FELIZ

Happy birthday daddy!
