Shopping, etc

Busy week at work.  Settling into life in the big city and loving it for the most part (the isolation does get to me sometimes).

These pictures were taken at the market...

Translates to "peanut cheese".
How to say "Ranch" in Dutch.
for Vashti
By request for Joe.
The cases on the floor have a handle in the center for carrying.
They're plastic; when you're done, you put the whole thing on a conveyor and run it through the machine to get your deposit back. (I'll take a picture of the deposit machines later).

For Ingi...

Thursday is Fry-day. 
The whole team gets frites for lunch, which is basically the Dutch national dish. 
They're different than the states, though; they're usually covered in sauce.
Mayonnaise is the most popular.  If you go to McDonalds, they give you packets of mayo.
I get mine with satesaus which is the kind of sauce you get in Thai chicken satay.
Best spaghetti bolognese I've ever had.
I went back four more times.

Two more random bits

I wasn't joking.
