  1. Hi Samantha! I just found the link to your blog from Facebook. Your facts sounded insteresting. I remember how much a started liking french fries and mayo when I lived in The Netherlands and Belgium. But the Dutch do like peanut butter, in a spicy Indonesian sauté sauce. I hope you're enjoying your time there! Lindsey is busy applying to colleges now and anxious for that. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your blog. xo
