My oliebollen is when our community turns on the white lights in the trees through the downtown area, usually the day after Thanksgiving. It looks great.
Also, in first grade my class did a project on The Netherlands and we made Oliebollens. I have not thought of them since then.
Andy! So glad I could resurface your long-buried Oliebollen memories, ha. The downtown lights are the best, they make this time of year so festive!! Thank you for sharing =).
One of my Oliebollens growing up was when my Mom would bring up the large pine cone wreath she had made by attaching pinecones to an old metal garden hose hoop. These pine cones would remain over time -with fresh greens added each year. When she hung this on our front door I knew Christmastime was coming.
Ah, I LOVE oliebollen! I spent one January in the Netherlands and caught the tail-end of oliebollen season. That's a country that knows how to winter.
My metaphorical oliebollen is probably twinkle lights. It makes sense that we use candles, lights, and Christmas trees this season. When it's dark, turn those cozy lights on. I tend to keep them up until March.

A beautiful herald of the season for sure!!!

What are some other warm winter meals?
My favorite are soups, stews, and roasts! Alison Roman has some excellent (often vegetarian) stews that I really love: https://www.alisoneroman.com/recipes/category/soups+%2F+stews
Breakfast for dinner by candlelight - winter is the best time for it!
