Yes, we will be gourmetten for Christmas dinner. I put gourmetten in Google translate and it spit out raclette. I guess it is not popular across the pond.
I don't always have to eat bacon when its placed in front of me you know.
Well, it's just the smell of cooking. My MIL has a thing about cooking smells needing to be kept in the kitchen. When we moved into this house, I expressed my interest in knocking out part of a wall to create a kind of bar area between the kitchen and dining area and she told me no way, because then your house always smells like whatever you've cooked. I was like...EXACTLY!! But she hates that and convinced my husband it was a bad idea, so he said no. I didn't push it because it wasn't hugely important to me and I was already having to battle with her about my bathtub and washer and dryer, and she doesn't even LIVE here...it's not her house, but she's very opinionated about how we decorate, etc. She tried to overrule me on the paint color, the wallpaper, the bathroom plans, the laundry room, the carpet, the curtains, the yard, etc... I gave in on the kitchen and held my ground on everything else. But she's very much of the opinion that kitchens should always be closed off to keep the smells from permeating the rest of the house. She also keeps her kitchen door open in the winter when she's cooking...it's always freezing, but she likes the ventilation to the outside.Yes, we will be gourmetten for Christmas dinner.

I am a bit confused why gourmetten made the house smell but pork tenderloin can be a nice dinner as well.
I always try to hide it, but the boy beat me to the mailbox! I *may* have just as much fun browsing as they do though...I should have thrown out that Lego catalog we got a few weeks back.
Ohhhh Lordy...that's my mother to a T. She wants my house to be a duplicate of hers. (Granted, I bought the same style house as hers, but with two additions, but still...her decor is "french country" which my boys would destroy in a flat minute.) Overbearing doesn't even come close to adequate.
Sadly, most mom and pop stores do not have anything I need
Avalanche?I survived shopping todayThe crowds at 7 weren't bad at all but by the time we were done
Unfortunately we’ve had a big life change this year. No longer on 40 acres in Wisconsin; now in the Hoosier state...
Sorry to hear that sir. Hope it works out good for you and yours.
The story was fantastic. It was really well thought out. There were twists that I did not forsee. Pixar just keeps outdoing itself with the animation as well. Incredible! The historical aspects were very interesting. I am sure @Cesar R M can let us know if they got these historical elements correct. I will say that you should bring tissues if you are mildly sentimental. Apparently I am. (Dh too). 
Dh got a combo steak/chicken fajita.
So darn cute!
I noticed that there was still greenery and flowers in the picture. I would have thought the Netherlands would have leafless trees by now like our trees here in The States.
I am sorry. Hope things will work out in the end.
The elephants were inside a big dome as it is too cold for them to be outside all day. I actually don't live in the Netherlands anymore, I moved to London about 5 years ago and to make it more confusing the zoo was in Zurich as I am currently working here on a short contract.
Oops that's right. You did say in a much earlier post you were currently in Zurich. Yes you will need tissues, most definitely.
Six made the cut and moved with us. We found a good home for one and sent another one back to her real home.
While I love some homemade cookies I love love love Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies! No homemade version will do.
