Mini feeling: proud
Standing tall and proud.
In Dutch we say 'growing from pride' which basicly means that you grow from being proud about something, I had some help from Chichiboulie and LillyElla because I was not sure this would be said in the English language. Apparently it is nothing used in the English language like we use it in Dutch.
However, LillyElla remembered this childhood story about a giraffe who's neck grew longer and longer to reach the leaves on the trees but with his neck growing, also grew his pride. He became too proud to eat the leaves off the ground. She doesn't remember the rest of the story but it must be the giraffe which is referred to as proud.
If anyone knows which children's book this is, please do let me know, I would be happy to post a link to it here.
Thanks ChichiBoulie & LillyElla for your help. :)

Hmmm... speculaas
This is probably the easiest and yummiest recipe for speculaas I've ever tried. My mom passed it on to me and I think it's not the last time I'm making these...
Ingredients (for 45 pieces)
Add the almond extract and the eggs and stir.
Melt the butter, add it and knead it all to a firm dough.
Make little balls of plus/minus 50g and put them on a baking paper in the oven.
Bake them for 15 minutes in a preheated oven of 200°C
Take 'em out and let them cool of for a bit.
They will go all crunchy outside and nice and soft on the inside.
I used half of the ingredients for this recipe and put three trays in the oven. I had 22 pieces of speculaas and now only euh... 15 left... uhoh!
We did have a guest so that explains... :)
