Back to Nijmegen

We made a quick return to our hometown Nijmegen, where more than 12 weeks ago we left in a flurry and landed bewildered on the other side of the country. We warmed Leon and Cindy's new house,

I attended Neva's vrijgezellenfeest,

where we had the best tomato soup I ever tasted

and broad bean, ricotta and mint ravioli with oven roasted tomato sauce. Making your own pasta is therapeutic and satisfying. I do it about once a year! I guess the rest of the year I'm neurotic and cranky.


dropped in for coffee at Samir's

and lunch at fleur's, picked up the mail from the old house. That's all we had time for in 24 hours.
