K is for Kruidnoten

Around this time last year, I was shoveling kruidnoten in my face while stirring a pot of fresh gluhwein. This time around I'm doing the same, except I'm making my own kruidnoten rather than running to Albert Heijn for a bag full of factory-made Dutch cookies.


I almost miss the cold that seared through my seven layers of tee shirts and two pea coats. Kidding, I was only wearing five layers and one pea coat. And leggings, pants, two pairs of socks, boots, gloves, a thick scarf, and a beanie.

December in California is pathetic compared to what I survived last year. It doesn't feel like winter, especially without the snowflakes decorating my iMac's dashboard weather report.
