Uhm... postponing the fourth of July???

Yes. Though for the record I did wear red, white and blue today. Which might've been more effective if that wasn't also the colors of whole bunch of countries, Holland included. Anyways, not many people were up for it so we decided to do the whole grilling thing another day. Tomorrow we will be lighting sparklers and stuff. Because what is fourth of July without fire?

Instead we did this cool thing for dinner tonight. It was four of us: Wybren, Kati, Rins, and myself. Rins and I were in charge of picking out ingredients for dinner and making dessert, Wybren and Kati vice versa. Rins and I decided to pick the most random things we could find. So we gave them ground beef, pancake mix, tomato sauce, fresh basil, coconut milk, apple sauce, and potatoes. They gave us apples, pineapple, coconut in a can, pastry dough, cinnamon, orange juice, and ice cream. They made meatballs fried in pancake batter made with coconut milk rather than normal milk (which came out really yummy) with potatoes in a basil tomato sauce and apple sauce on the side. We stuffed the pastries with apple, pineapple and coconut that had soaked in orange juice with a bit of cinnamon. It was really yummy all in all! And what a fun concept. We're going to make it a thing I think.

Tonight I learned how to ride my bike with someone on the back! Yaay! I'm becoming more Dutch each day.

Well, early morning tomorrow. Slaap lekker!!
