About Me
I like:
cheese, trees, good movie popcorn, bread pudding, chocolate, my scooter, the smell of campfires, beer, small farms, pretty glassware, cake and ice cream, new discoveries, french fries, late night bowls of cereal, reading, cozy scarves, champagne, estate sales, a good cup of coffee, different cultures, Sunday mornings, pondering inane things
I do not like:
raw tomatoes, vandalism, inconsiderate behavior, cleaning out the fridge, iceberg lettuce, hunger, ironing, wastefulness, humidity, bureaucracy, video games, corporate life, maraschino cherries, blue cheese
I love:
my family, my friends, gathering around food and drink, being underwater, color, donuts, autumn, learning new things, vanilla pastry cream, my dog, massages, a good laugh, red velvet cake, striped socks, baby animals, precocious kids, a perfect peach, life

Hi. I stumbled upon your website (which by the way is great!) and am wondering if you are the daughter of Arend and Nancy who were (perhaps still are?) from Grand Rapids, MI. The photos on your “About Me” page sure look like a Caroline I once babysat for, along with her brother Andrew.

[…] In the past six months, this blog has offered me much more than expected. It has been wonderful meeting new friends, finding kindred spirits, being welcomed by so many new people and even reconnecting with an old friend by chance. I must admit that there has been a time or two when I felt a slight obligation to the blog but in large part, it has been such a delcious, friendly, stimulating, exciting adventure. Thank you for reading! […]

Yah sas cuz. Like the site. It reminds me of Chania. Mom told me about your webpage, impressive. I don’t have much to add to the culinary arts, but I do know that just eating to survive isn’t much fun, alot like life, it’s always better if you enjoy what you’re doing. Glad you are. If you’re ever Peoria way, let me know.

Just wondering if there was something that you wanted to add to the “About me” section of this blog…will “cravings” be a topic of choice?

I read your blog whenever I can, and just saw the article about the bakery in Pella. I work in Pella and live in Des Moines, and my mother is from Holland. Did you write once that you are also 1/2 Dutch? Anyway, love the site. (My boss’ in-laws own Jaarsma

Hi there, Caroline, Maman is out of G>R> for the next 10 days and she is a person I can have with me even though she’s gone. As you probably know we are taking golf lessons together and die laughing. I am delighted to be on your site for the first time. I love it. Do you get paid for it? Obviously you spend a lot of time writing it.
I am so excited for you and family about your baby. I know you are uncomfortable right now and I am thinking of you. We love new babies and I cannot wait to hear your news. Love, Linda
