if you read carefully, there is one half english half dutch right on the side of the "no photos". also on the back it says "by grams".
Probably the vendor is sick of american/english tourists only touching and taking photos of cheese than actually buying.

I actually doubt it...it's not a very "Dutch" thing to do. People here wouldn't worry about people taking pictures. They would be more likely to engage you in conversation about where you're from, etc. Most people here wouldn't be that pushy...a sign like that would be considered very rude. I suppose it's POSSIBLE that it's real, but I kind of doubt it.

You can always take the broken up meatloaf and add to spaghetti sauce, over pasta. I always do that after having meatloaf.

Good idea. It is all gone now. I had made scalloped potatoes with it so mixing those was good too.

Thank you, we are looking forward to this trip, taking the whole family.

And we are looking forward to your pictures!

I'm so glad it's a 3 day weekend...I need a weekend to relax after the weekend. LOL The party yesterday was fun and it was great seeing everyone and there was so much excellent food, but then I stayed up too late to watch Eurovision songfestival so now I feel completely worn out. Tomorrow we are going to a Middle Ages festival. We have gone the last 2 or 3 years and I didn't think the kids would really want to go again...it's the same stuff every year. But they got all excited when we mentioned it, so we're going to do that and then go out to eat for DD's birthday. The restaurant has different stations...a Tepan section with steaks, fish, chicken, ribs, kangaroo, etc, a wok buffet, a pasta bar, chinese food, veggies (I love their broccoli!!), sushi, soup, and a dessert bar. I mostly do the wok and the Teppan and veggies. It will make a nice end to the long weekend.

I made meatloaf on Thursday. I didn't have any eggs and I was too lazy to go to the store so I tried a recipe for eggless meatloaf. Yeah, it didn't really work out too well, the loaf fell apart but it did taste really good so I suppose that is all that matters.

Taste is what counts! For things like that I use ground flax seeds as a binder works well and extra omega 3s are always a nice bonus

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

Been busy this weekend, had family over for the last few days, but how's everyone doing?

We're doing great here. My dh got a roof blanket for the car, for when we use our roof bag for the ride home from our summer trip. The bag will fit in the trunk for the ride down but will be needed for the ride home. The outlets and DTD seems to call my name

that looks awesome to relax!

It is indeed awesome! But, it's quite a long float, so ya' either need to cover up, or wear a lot of sunscreen, or both.
Definitely a relaxing, fun trip, though...!

Yep, I looked closely at the original post for the same reason. 99.99999...% sure it's legit.

Very nice view! I'm glad you made it down and thnx for the warning about the cost of the fast food there. My boys want to eat there, mostly to ride the monorail and get off there.

On our trip in June of '13 we did a monorail loop resort hop one afternoon. Contemporary, Poly, GF. It was a blast...!

 

[donaldtoo]

That looks really fun! Makes me think of the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon.

Yep, very fun, and a nice long, relaxing float. Plus, adult beverages are allowed...!

Plus, adult beverages are allowed...!

Always a bonus!

That sounds wonderful, our rivers in Colorado, are the white water rafting kind.

Yep, most rivers and creeks in Texas are normally pretty lazy. All bets are off after heavy rains, though...

 

[donaldtoo]

That must be wonderful.

We don't go all that often, but, I think that is about ready to change. It's just 5 mins. away, open year 'round, and they always have great product there...!

 

[donaldtoo]

That would be great fun. I bet you know where to get great margarita's.

Yep, we could all go to The Oasis on Lake Travis about 10 mins. from our house and enjoy them while watching a fabulous sunset...!

 

[donaldtoo]

That looks like a lot of fun.

Indeed! Perfectly cool water, too...not bathtub hot like some might think...!

Good morning/afternoon everyone!
