9 x 4 = 36 things

That’s right: 36 things, and they’re all about me. I’ve never been tapped for a meme before (could it be that no one reads this site?), but I’ll take “I’m always interested in the answers of others” to be a mandate.
Oh, and Brook, Rachel and B? Consider yourselves tapped.

    According to Cooking Light:

    On New Year’s Day in Holland, the Dutch eat oliebollen, a donut-shaped fritter. The ring shape symbolizes “coming full circle” and is believed to bring good luck.

    A quick googling lead me to Olliebollen.com, which produces “cool things for kids.” If by “cool” they mean “expensive,” they’re right on. If I had a spare Benjamin, though, I would definitely buy this. It’s no donut-shaped fritter, but it would look awfully cute on my girl.
    Typical Dutch Stuff and the Carnegie Mellon University Dinner Co-op site both had recipes for olliebollen. I might give one a try on Sunday.
