OLIEBOLLEN!!!

Oliebollen are back. And they are just as heavenly as last year. They popped up about a month earlier here than in Rotterdam. I admit, they don't have quite the same aura when we are still wearing short sleeves and sandals, but we've already had two.

I am a little suspicious, though. I don't think these oliebollen sellers have completely pure motives. The bakery up the hill recently renovated and has been offering oliebollen and stroopwafel samples to lure in customers. So today the bakery down the hill began offering their oliebollen.

But, the consumer still wins!
