Baking Chef...

Part of being a future parent is being able to bake a pie. I haven't baked any pie or tart whatsoever for a long time. So, with Anh's help and my Dutch background, here is the end-result of a traditional Dutch Apple Pie ("Appeltaart") with a twist of American flavor. 

We just need to let it cool down and with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream ... Hmmm !!!

Anh saw her doctor today for her check-up. Everything is still good to go. The baby's heart rate was 141 which was perfect at this stage. She'll have her next check-up in another 2 weeks from which points we'll start to having weekly check-up until Anh's giving birth. 

Around this time last year, we were spending our Christmas and New Year's in Holland... something we obviously won't be able to do this year because of the baby. Even though the weather is cold, I do miss the cold cold (freezing cold) weather back home. So instead, we're planning a trip to Santa Barbara tomorrow. 

Meanwhile, our appeltaart is close to cooling down. And for some reason, our stomachs are really growling... 

Until the next post :-).
