Gissy I participate in #foodandlit but only read the books because I‘m a terrible cook😳But I can try this😃but only with few melted chocolate sprinkles, I think it will taste like a donut because it is with butter bread😋 1mo

Tonight we had snert (split pea soup) for #Netherlands #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

Husband and I‘ve long liked split pea soup. Little did we know it‘s snert! We made the honey-baked ham version using the frozen bone from our Christmas ham.

Catsandbooks Yum! 🇳🇱 2mo
LiseWorks Love pea soup 2mo
Texreader @LiseWorks this was delish!! 2mo

I love these Buzzfeed articles about what surprises people about differences between countries. I especially liked this one comparing the US and the #Netherlands

ncsufoxes In Boston, most lights you can‘t turn on red (or the intersections are really odd). We moved to MD a few months ago & I‘n always sitting at a red light waiting to turn red. 3mo
ImperfectCJ I would love it if we got rid of "right on red." It's so dangerous for pedestrians. 3mo
jdiehr Here in Oregon, some stop signs have an additional sign that reads "except for right turn," meaning Stop Unless You're Turning Right. I couldn't believe it when we first moved here! 3mo

Read4life We‘re in the Virgin Islands so it‘s “Left Turn on Red” 🚦#KeepLeft 3mo
Catsandbooks I live in a more rural area so there's not many pedestrians or bicyclists to worry about if turning right on a red 3mo
LiseWorks In Canada, you stop on red, turn right if it's safe. You can't turn right in Quebec. 3mo
GingerAntics @LiseWorks why can‘t you turn right in Quebec? 3mo
GingerAntics @ImperfectCJ as a full time pedestrian since 2016, I agree with this. It would piss odd drivers, and would quickly become the most broken traffic law, but its death defying to cross the street as a pedestrian. 3mo
GingerAntics @jdiehr oh my god! How many pedestrians die in Oregon? 3mo
LiseWorks @GingerAntics Quebec has a lot of laws that are not Luke the rest of Canada lol. They follow civil law, the rest of Canada follows England laws. Don't get me started with the marriage laws. 3mo
GingerAntics @LiseWorks so they just make it up as they go, and everyone in Quebec is cool with it? Interesting. 3mo

Daisey I love stroopwafels and haven‘t had them for a while. I should try to find some this month! 3mo
Butterfinger @Catsandbooks I ordered something from Amazon for Netherlands, but for the life of me, I can't remember. Do I look up my order or just let it surprise me? LOL. I hope it was this. 3mo
Kimzey @TheBookHippie The chocolate sprinkles on buttered toast sound amazing! 🤩 3mo
Kimzey Yum, stroopwafels! 😋 3mo
