Olie Bollen - New Year's Day 2010

Jean debated whether she was going to make these, but we're all glad she did. After all, it's a tradition that goes back, way back to before we kept records of this sort of thing.

It begins here, in Jean's stash of highly coveted but secret recipe box.


The results are better every year. If you were here, you'd smell them -- they're hot and ready to eat.





















Normally, Jean makes dozens and dozens, and sometimes she gathers up a bunch and delivers them to a few people who would know this tradition from their childhood.

This year, Aaron and Meghan got a pile as they dropped Micah & Elizabeth off for a 'sleep over' and here we are consuming some more.



You dip them in a bowl of icing-sugar and take a bite, then dip, bite, dip, dip, munch, munch, and get another one. They're great!!

They were fantastic. Couldn't stop eating them at the hotel room. Good energy for the things you do in a hotel room. ;)
