    Gefeliciteerd met jullie huwelijk. Bij het gemeentehuis is het registreren van een huwelijk vooral het aangaan van een overeenkomst tussen 2 mensen met allerlei juridische consequenties. Vandaar dat het wat zakelijk kan overkomen.
    Als je de oven verwarmt tot 50 graden, dan uitzet en je deeg afgedekt in de oven zet, rijst het fantastisch.

    Congratulations on the marital adventure. I also sleep with the window open. Never turn on the heater in the bedroom cause i am only there to sleep. Even in the winter sometimes my feet are getting so hot that I have stick them from under the covers otherwise I can't sleep. Most of the times I notice that my body is quite adaptable with temperatures. In the summer I sleep under the same duvet as in wintertimes. I never change it. So I use the same duvet with -5 degrees celcius as well with +30 degrees celcius.

    Excellent! I also make my own bread, especially German Kaiserbroetchen. The dough on Saturday, leave to rise during the night and divide it into daily portions for the week on Sunday. It's so easy. Regarding the mailboxes, I wouldn't be able to find a mailbox where I live even if I would be paid to do so. Funny enough I had to send some to documents to the Netherlands and had to look up on Google maps where the post office was! Mail seems still to be a thing in The Netherlands and we are supposed to be a developing country.

    I am also an American living in NL and the cold lunches here were a surprise to me. The first couple of years I use to eat a hot lunch like my dinner leftovers but now I usually just eat a small dutch sandwich. Funny that happened to you too. Congrats on getting married :)

    • @perpetual4958

      Go a very traditional agricutural area, cold dinner, Germans call AbendBrot, and meat potatoes and vegetables for lunch.

    @P0nyl0ve ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Congrats on the wedding! On the lunch thing: if we have leftovers, we either save a lot of them to have one day we eat all of it for dinner (kliekjesdag) or my dad will eat the leftovers for lunch..but on a slice of bread!
    Also your body temperature needs to go down in order for you to be able to sleep, so having a lower temperature at night makes sense. Also my mom always told me I would wake up with a headache if I didnt open my window at night, because you need fresh air or something

  • @plantwhisperer2506

    Nice to hear that you like Twijnstraat aan de Werf so much. We lived there for 24 years (1996 - 2020) at number 1 Jee, the one with the balcony. The perfect spot to see all the boats passing by, especially Sinterklaas en the Utrecht Canal Pride!

    Bedankt voor weer een mooie vlog en je uitleg over de slaapkamer ramen. Ik vraag altijd in Amerika om extra dekens maar nu weet ik waarom. Ik ben nu bijna 1 jaar in Wisconsin en heb veel aan jouw videos gehad. Heb soms ook jouw bevindingen gedeeld met mijn Amerikaanse collega's. Fijn dat jouw vlogs altijd feitelijk is en niet overdreven.

    What no wedding portrait on the wall, though traditional there used to be a collection of metal framed pictures of each child at the parents house. But still one had their own up as well. So occassionally bring on the misses.

    Congratulations on your wedding. I'm sure that you and your partner will have a wonderful life together. I'm imaging that living with a bubbly, sparkly woman like you must be heaven on earth. Especially when your living in the best country in the world where living the American dream isn't a nightmare.

    Savour those sunny days, I also went out for a long walk that day and stocked up on vitamine D.
    Lowering the temp at night helps you sleep better, I take it down to 17.5 celcius. In the summer I usually open up a window but not in the other seasons.
    Enjoy married life, it takes some getting used to saying wife... we will be checking your usage of the correct term going forward ;)

    Btw. That old building (now a cafe/restaurant) at Tolsteeg used to be a Postoffice (if recall properly)
    And after going out (used too) grabbed a shoarma at Alexandria grillroom on the Oudegracht. Don't think it's open for business anymore.

    Concratulatoins! 💖 and concerning sleeping temperatures: no heating or airco and big single glass windows. Thus loads of blankets in the winter and just a sheet in summer. It is so wastefull to me to use so much energy and sleeping is way better.

    Again, Congratulations on your Marriage! Your wife is a lucky girl... and I hope the two of you have a wonderful life together. BTW, can you tell something about the registration of a US marriage in the Netherlands? Which documents does it require at "de burgerlijke stand" and how easy or difficult is it?
    On the baking of the bread... One thing I missed and that is which form you used to bake it.. sorry, I can be nit-picking ;) ... On your walk, I'm not very well known in Utrecht, but did I recognize the park near "Het Bolwerk"? ... and finally... finally... in the last minute of the video some real "Quality Content"... the cat hiding in the back of the room just showing it's tail.
    Thanks, and enjoy your weekend, Ava!! I'm awaiting the next video.

    How do people who sleep with their windows closed get enough fresh air and oxygen in the night? 🤔 Do they have mechanical ventilation on? Do they have huuuuuge bedrooms?
    If we ever forget to open one we will wake up earlier than usual with headaches and having had more nightmares.

    Congrratz on the marriage! So in which line do you stand now, in the US and in The Netherlands? 🤔
    As far as I know you only need to register your US marriage certificate at the Dutch local office. You can also convert your US certificate into a Dutch certificate, although this isn't mandatory. I wonder if there are some loopholes when travelling.
