I will be starting on my new job and career in marketing in about 10 hours from now. This means I will probably get little or no sleep at all, and will be completely useless in the morning. I hope (and fully expect) my new boss will cut me some slack and let me ease into it over the next few days -- after all, he hired me knowing full-well I have no previous experience in this field. But we'll see what happens.

Meanwhile, I want to draw your attention to my friend and former colleague Coco's website, The Dutch Table. She moved to Idaho some years ago, and has since embarked on a mission to acquaint the world with the delights of Dutch traditional foods and cuisine. Have a look, see what you think, and maybe try one or two of her recipes!
