When my sister retired from nursing, she worked in the Irish Pub in Wilmington NC as a cook and baker. She makes wonderful Irish recipes. We can have soda bread, cottage pie, and homemade apple pie for dessert.

Oh, wow what a great opportunity Mary. Sounds like the treat there expats pretty good if she found people to run the pub and not steal her money. And now a days with technology you can stay close to all your friends via internet. I talk to my friend in Costa Rica a couple times a week.

Good morning and happy Friday! My colleague and I just got back to the airport, he's headed home and I just dropped my stuff at the hotel. Tomorrow is my "free" day but I worked at the office this morning and don't have a call h til 430 local time now so going to catch the train to Amsterdam city center and explore a bit. My plane is to visit a bakery Sheila sent me a link to that showed them making stroopwafffles and also visit the royal palace. Will be a cold and rainy day but there is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices.

last nights dinner at the fancy house was very nice! The grounds were beautiful and the food and company was excellent.

Today I've had all the coffee (but they were very small coffees, 6 barely makes 2 of my usual size!) and a protein bar. I am certain I will have cheese and a stroopwaffle today though. I did do a Pilates workout this morning but figure my exploring will be my cardio today

qotd - 30 but there are still so many left to visit.

qjb, good luck getting the phone situation worked out. It's way to challenging to give them a boatload of money.

pix today are from around Warsaw. I loved the juxtaposition of the old town and the neon Mario world play park, lol. There's a bit of a self portrait in the shiny snowman too

have a great Friday and weekend!

My poor colleague was really put on the spot yesterday, they asked what he showed me in Warsaw and were giving him grief. I had to step in and point out that I was the problem because I had too many conference calls to explore on Tuesday night.

I saw a video of the stroopwaffle makers just a couple of days ago. It was pretty amazing how they can slice something that thin in two pieces. I'm a little jealous.
