Last weekend my sister and I went to this small art gallery where the owner makes art out of found items, including this clog. This week, reading this book there was a reference to wooden Dutch clogs and I thought of this photo I took. Seems perfect for #Netherlands #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
pickThis was a horror story that was a page turner. It was 856 pages, so it was a chunkster for sure. I read it for #FoodandLit, and I'm glad I did. About a mountaineering team where something went horribly wrong. As it turns out, I heard a story of 2 Canadian Mountaineering men who just recently received the Order of Canada for their contributions to the sport. #Read2025 #Jumpstart2025 #ISpyBingoJan @Catsandbooks @Texreader @TheAromaofBoo⬇️
I‘m reading this book next for #foodandlit #Netherlands @Catsandbooks

Also from the author‘s historical note at the end of the book. The author is Canadian and lives in Amsterdam.

Tonight I planned to eat a sausage sandwich. Then I read a post by @Jess861 and found a recipe for broodje rookworst: https://www.thespruceeats.com/broodje-rookworst-recipe-3863040
I didn‘t have all the ingredients but I had enough to come really close. I doctored up my sauerkraut per the recipe, put mayo and Norwegian mustard (the closest I have to grainy mustard) on the sausage bread and tadaa!! #foodandlit #Netherlands Different but very good
I am hoping to start reading The Dutch Orphan this weekend while I eat my first Broodje Rookworst. I need to go into the city to buy the rookworst, so I'm not sure if I'll pick up ingredients this weekend or the next but I'm so excited to try this sandwich. I love sauerkraut and to mix it with a sausage on a sandwich - yummm!

SCORE!!!!!!!
Did anyone watch Masters of the Air - Tom Hanks and Steve Spielberg miniseries of "The Bloody Hundredth"? My favorite part was in the last episode when they did not fill the plane with bombs but food parcels for the Dutch even though there were still Nazis in the Netherlands. After they made the drop off, they saw tulips formed in the words, "Thanks, Yanks." It still fills me with tears.
pickIf I had to describe this book in one word it is Boring. Or one emoji: 🥱. Yes, it should be the exciting story about Captain James Cook‘s wife! But the story occurs—about 75%—in Elizabeth Cook‘s head. And like all of us who pay too much attention to our own thoughts, it‘s repetitive. There are snatches about Cook and their children, and they are interesting. And her life turns out to be quite sad. These parts make this book barely a pick. By a ⬇️
