weekend adventure: eindhoven

Hello all!  This weekend, I was feeling rather lazy and not excited about planning a trip.  Thankfully, my friend Rani invited me to join her and some other girls for a Saturday day trip to Eindhoven.  Eindhoven is not the most cultural place to visit - it's biggest claim to fame is that it is home to Philips (the electronic company).  Before going, I did a bit of research and found an outdoor market to go to.
flowers at the outdoor market - quite cheap!

Rani and I with our purchases.  Also, notice that we aren't wearing hats - it was "warm" around the low 40s!

Our meal was mainly classy...strawberries, brie, and bread from the market...and then fries.
We had a good time in Eindhoven.  There was a great shopping area, of course I only ended up buying a necklace, ha ha.  On Sunday, I had some spare time and decided to have a cooking adventure.  I made biscuits and gravy from scratch to share with my floor.  We don't have a real oven (only a microwave oven) so, I made the biscuits in a skillet.  Everyone liked them!

  1. Biscuits in a skillet, sounds interesting. Does your town have a market like the one you visited?
