Friday is a good day to share some pics from my travels, which included a short stay in the Netherlands with family. It was a whirlwind trip packed into two and a half days! First stop Hoorn NL. Bakeries are one of my favorite places to take photos. Here’s 3 shots from a bakery where we bought apple strudel, five pieces and macrons. I have a lavender one. We had guests “by the coffee” that morning. Lots of talking about dogs and boats and aspirational trips by sea. Very fun and pleasant to visit with old friends and relations.
Apple Strudel – we took five of them! Bakery in Hoorn NL
Macarons from the Bakery in Hoorn NL
Carrot Cake (left) Toffee Cake and possibly Brownie/cake? Oh next time… I’ll try these.
*Sigh* such a tasty memory!
The rain came on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. There was a river flowing by my door and at the corner on the sidewalks. The mounds of recent snow blocked the street drains. The white world has retreated and warmer days are predicted in the next weeks. We may have a real spring. The sun us shining!
Thanks for stopping by my kitchen!
May your day be peaceful wherever you find yourself.

Nothing like going into a warm Dutch bakery on a cold, wet day.
Yes! It was delightful.
