Here‘s my next audiobook! #foodandlit #Netherlands @Catsandbooks
As it's Sunday, I made Dutch Sunday Soup, from the tagged book. It is made with whatever vegetables are in season (I used leek, carrots, celeriac, celery, Jerusalem artichokes and romanesco), small pieces of beef, veal meatballs flavoured with nutmeg, and vermicelli. Perfectly fine.

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.

I knew nothing other than this was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker and acclaimed by other readers before starting this debut novel. Set in 1960s Netherlands, it is a story of repression, silence and complicity. I did see the ‘twist‘ coming quite early on but don‘t feel that spoiled it in any way.
Reparation is a topic that interests me greatly. So much of what we have was taken from someone else.
A short and surprising bit of Dutch history #Netherlands #foodandljt @Catsandbooks

pickI thought this was one thing, then it wasn‘t, then it was again but in a completely different way. That probably doesn‘t make sense if you haven‘t read it but I don‘t want to spoil it for you. #FoodAndLit #Netherlands
Tonight we are trying Poffertjes from Trader Joe‘s. Well heavens I think I‘m in heaven. #foodandlit #Netherlands @Catsandbooks
What's for dinner? Stamppot - it makes me think of the Netherlands impoverished version of pinto beans here in southern Appalachian. .
