Eliot's Travels

Tonight, Gina and Ap were coming over for a special dinner: "Gourmet." It's the Dutch version of meat fondue. Basically, you have an electric grill that you use to cook meat and veggies on top. There's a pan below that you can use for sausages and cheese. You can order the gourmet meat from the butcher (or get it at the grocery store) and they provide it in small pieces (bigger than fondue; like a small portion).

We had beef, chicken, sausages, and salmon. It was yummy. Like fondue, you dip your meat in sauces. We grilled onions, garlic, and potatoes as well as melted cheese for bread. Gina made a beautiful salad. For dessert, I had gotten a few treats from the diamond ring bakery.

Gina and Ap had gotten a babysitter. I fed the kids a little early and they played and then watched Winnie the Pooh. They did pretty well playing by themselves.

We had a lovely dinner. How sad to be leaving here so soon!
