Hi Pat! The package came! Thanks so much!! As I mentioned we were going to do, we went out and bought each other some yummy goodies to fill the plate with, so that was perfect - thanks! Also, the shower gel is ideal because we don't have a bathtub, and I've been using Terry's manly Sport shower gel because I'm too cheap to buy some of my own. :) So now I'll smell much nicer. You're so thoughtful!!
Today was really nice - it was a beautiful day, but it was only 12 degrees!! We didn't have any food in the house, so we went out to get paninis at a shop called The Sandwich - yep, that's their specialty! I had one with brie, bacon, onion and tomato, and Terry had salami, aged cheese, onion and paprika. Yum!! Then we went and bought ourselves dark chocolate covered marzipan, chocolate tea, and some really yummy jelly candies. Then we came home and took a nap! :)
This evening we're going to cook lemon grass salmon for dinner and watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. That's a great idea to watch the academy award nominees! Which ones have you seen so far? It's legal to download movies here in the Netherlands, so we've already downloaded The Descendants, but haven't had a chance to watch that yet. I saw The Help, Harry Potter, Drive, Transformers (I think) and Rango back in Madison, and we downloaded and watched Moneyball here, and we watched Hugo last night! I HATED Drive - WAY too violent for me. I just didn't like it at all.
We also downloaded and watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but neither of us enjoyed it. It was way too confusing and hard to follow. What have you thought of the ones you've seen? There, now I've been through the whole list of nominations! :) Will you watch the Oscars? Do you ever guess which ones will win?
I've attached a few pics for you. The first three are of our town after it snowed! The first two are looking up and down the street that our street comes off of. The third is looking down our street. The fourth is of this yummy icing/cream/pastry frog that I ordered and brought home on Thursday, because Carnaval is coming up here and the frog is the mascot of the event, and the pastry shop is making these to be festive. I couldn't resist! The last picture is of course the dish you gave us with (what was left of) our Valentine's Day goodies on it!
Thanks again for the package. That was so sweet of you! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, and give my mom and dad and Grandma big hugs from me!!
