It is time I introduce you to my Dutch friends that I have been visiting. They live 1.5 hours east of Amsterdam in a town called Arnhem.
Meet Dirk, Jiska, Bart and Jasper. The Kortekaas family moved to Canada on a work transfer when Bart was only 7 months old. The family stayed in Waterloo for 18 months and in that time we became very good friends. Dirk and Jiska have a love of travel, food and wine.......so, how can we not get along???

Those are chocolate sprinkles on Jasper's bread, which is a normal breakfast garnish! The boys were jealous when I was eating yogurt, since they only eat that for dessert. They also have mini gingerbread cookies that they put on bread with butter (I noticed Dirk eating this).
Its a little backwards but I'm here to take in the Dutch culture afterall!
