We're celebrating the new year with our first guest, Jane. Jane is visiting from Portland and will be staying with us between her many trips throughout Europe this month. We've enjoyed taking her out to some of our favorite restaurants and she's enjoyed the various museums and shops in the city. And she taught Rob a very valuable lesson- he had the brilliant idea to throw her on a bike and take her into the city center on her first day, when the city can be a little rough on newcomers on bikes and, more importantly, Jane hadn't ridden a bike since she was 8! She managed to survive, but still hasn't completely mastered the art of braking without hand-brakes. The look on her face here pretty much says it all:
In her first week, she's visited the modern art museum, the giant Reichsmuseum, and the beautiful town of Haarlem. This weekend, we'll travel together to Bruges to gorge on chocolate, waffles, and beer, and then she's off to Paris for a few days. In the meantime, we've got her set up in the "Jane Wing" of the living room:
In addition to touring the local caf
és and restaurants, Erika and Jane have been cooking up a storm. Jane made homemade strawberry jam for us and Erika and Jane used the new pasta maker to whip up an unbelievably good lasagna:
It's been great to have her here and hopefully she'll recruit some more visitors for us when she returns to Portland.

Say it ain't so.... I see mushrooms but cannot make out any meat in your "lasagna".
