So it's a new year and as always, I feel like I need a new project. Hard to believe that making lunches and changing diapers lacks something, but alas, it's true.
In April of 2008, my Oma (grandmother), Wilhelmina Dirks passed away at the ripe old age of 92. In addition to a small inheritance which I spent on a new Pandora charm for myself and a Wii for the family, I also received two recipe boxes. Oma loved to cook. The recipes are a mix of dutch traditions, scary concoctions straight from the 1970's (a bad decade for cuisine) as well as shared recipes from her many friends. I was happy to get them and thought that I would be sure to use them and would spread the recipes around to my cousins and siblings. However, upon receiving the recipe boxes, I promptly stuck them in a cupboard and haven't done anything with them since. Did I mention that when she passed away I was 7 months pregnant with my 3rd kid? Anyway, things have been a bit busy for the past 2 1/2 years, but I'm ready to take a stab at it again! Incidentally, my 3rd kid was named Wilhelmina, after Oma.
Take note - I'm hereby announcing that I will tackle the two recipe boxes. No matter how weird the recipe, I will make it and test it on my poor husband and 3 kids. Each recipe will get its own blog posting as well as reviews from myself and the family.
