Plus it got me out of cooking for hours for just the three of us! That is an interesting observation about the average American woman... My husband has German blood (a couple of generations back... and English, and Irish, and Polish too). Sarah, since we don’t have family here, a trip over the border really made sense.

Roxi has been served complimentary ouzo and limoncello at restaurants here in The Hague. Her dad usually ends up with the extra glass! I guess she must look 16...
