Did you want an egg with that burger?
Lunch at a pub in Rotterdam yesterday. Unexpected… I ate the egg on the side. It did remind me of the Full English Breakfast in a Bun I had earlier this year. In general, though, I prefer my burger zonder gebakken ei (without fried egg). Next time I’ll read the menu more carefully. :-)

Pizza, Gemengde, and Rock Palace
I found this recipe for Sweet Paul’s Grilled Pizza last week, and I could NOT stop thinking about it. My stumbling block was the grill part. We have a grill, but I’ve not tried using it here because of our close neighbours and their open windows. Besides, every time I tried to use the grill in [...]
Pannenkoek for breakfast
When we lived in England, we fell HARD for crumpets. We ate them toasted and buttered until my bloggy friend Alyson told me she used to eat them with melted cheese every morning when she lived in England. Once we tried that, there was no going back. Then we moved to Holland. There are no [...]
Good thing birthdays come but once a year
This has to be my very favourite view while biking into the Centrum. It’s the Binnenhof. Roxi and I took a tour of the Kight’s Hall last summer. Roxi and I started the day with much needed haircuts from the Aveda Salon in the Haagsche Bluf. We liked the little massage we got before our haircuts [...]
A bit of “Texas” on this side of the pond
Whew! It’s been hot and humid here in Den Haag lately. For all y’all Texans, think late May. The temps have been in the high 80s, low 90s, but we don’t have AC of any sort. So add in full sun, high humidity and very little wind, and we’re talking some borderline miserable weather. Guys [...]
Dit is mijn fiets! (This is my bike)
Here’s my new bike! I took this photo on Sunday while we were on our way to ParkPop (billed as Europe’s largest free music festival) in Zuiderpark. As I was getting ready to snap this pic, Mr. DJ laughed and said you all would look at this photo and think I am an avid cyclist. [...]

Living as an American (Texan!) in England
Yesterday, I was exchanging messages with Emm about what to write for World Blog Surf Day. I was trying to think of a way to boil down my expat experience here in England. Two years of living abroad was a bit too much to condense into a short post. However, one thing I kept circling [...]
Marmite Part II: One year later
Well, after stumbling across a stray jar of Marmite in my pantry yesterday, I decided that it was a sign that I needed to try it again. It seems the secret to eating Marmite is butter. Emm said to add “as much (butter or margarine) as possible”. The other part of the Marmite equation is [...]
