In the days leading up to New Years Eve, the Dutch bake something that's called oliebollen (translated: oil balls). Oliebollen is a dough with raisins or small apple chunks deepfried. Sort of like a beignet. Barry Batsbak went back to his parents house and baked oliebollen with his dad and play some backyard hockey on their selfmade rink. After baking like a hundred of these oliebollen, Barry went to the neighbours to hand out some of them. This tradition started when the Batsbaks moved to Canada from the Netherlands.



Barry is not a real star in the kitchen. Most of the time he let's his girlfriend do all the work as he's affraid of messing everything up. He occasionally will cut an onion or peel a potatoe, but that's about it. Though when it comes to the barbecue or deepfrying, he knows his stuff.
