TxTeach79's Pride LIVE 5/28: Post Drydock European Adventure!

[Hogladyrider]

@TxTeach79..and @HelloItsMeB...what a way to wake up in the good ol USA this morning's coffee with you two in Amsterdam.  Looks like you hit a home run with this extra stop.

 

Heck I have 4 pages to read to explore with you with my coffee.  GREAT JOB!  That museum History of Prostitution looks interesting.

 

Now back to page 107.

I'm so mad at you right now!  (that's the jealousy speaking.  I'm actually happy you are getting to enjoy that.)

I'll be there in less than four weeks and will try a fresh one vs premade packaged ones. They are tasty but quite sweet, at least the prepackaged ones are, and are best eaten sparingly. We were gifted a whole package of these for Christmas and by the time there were a few left we were already sick of them. I think the issue is unlike an excellent cookie there isn't a complex mix of flavors to them, they are just SWEET.

Yes they tend to be very sweet, I'm interested much as you are in how the real deal is vs the packaged commercial stuff. 🙂

If I remember correctly, you’re actually supposed to place them over a cup of coffee to warm them, then consume with the coffee to cut the sweetness.

Yes, that's what they say you should do. Having said that with the commercially prepared ones doing the coffee thing really didn't do anything, TBH. It made the waffle slightly soggy and didn't melt the filling. I like hot coffee, but not scalding hot which it would need to be in order for premade ones to have any affect from sitting on top of a cup of coffee.

We are headed back to the ship and I’m at 5 percent, will pick up where I left off asap

Moving on

Stopped in a tiny shop serving food from Suriname (Dutch colony for a long time)…. Didn’t see this one coming. A baked and then fried banana with a slight spicy peanut sauce. Sounds odd, was delicious

Beautiful city

Some people visit Amsterdam to go to the Van Gogh Museum, others the famous Sex Museum….. Me, a scholar:
