There's nothing better than a cup of tea and reading a book in bed on a rainy day. Classes have finally started and I'm procrastinating on doing homework because I realized I haven't posted a blog in a while.
I've been doing nothing but biking and eating my way through Amsterdam. Here's a better picture of my bike, even though you can't see the pink. I can't wait to spray paint the fenders pink!
And here's proof that the Dutch love sugary and fatty foods. We went to the Pancake Bakery one morning, and indulged in
pannekoeken. They're similar to crepes, but rather than being folded up, they're served flat and topped with all sorts of sugary or savory goodness. Then you roll it up and cut out bite-sized pieces. Chloé, left, ordered a Thai pancake, while Jen, right, ordered a Greek pancake. I, however, ordered
poffertjes covered in whipped cream, strawberries, and powdered sugar. Mmm.
God what fatties we are! The same day we went out for pancakes, we decided to join Jen's friend Xin for Ethiopian food. Here's me and Jen with our platter of more fatty goodness. I've decided to not eat out for the next few days, and bike around Amsterdam whenever I have the chance. Yesterday I biked to the Albert Cuyp market in search for fresh
stroopwafles, but had no luck. Instead, they had fresh produce for sale, but I didn't feel like biking home with fresh strawberries; I'd probably end up with strawberry jam once I arrived home.
Oh and how could I forget FEBO? It's a small take-away place that has hamburgers, chicken burgers, and even
kroquetts (minced meat roll that's deep fried) in vending machines. I have yet to muster up the courage to buy a
kipburger from FEBO, but maybe I should save that for a night when I have a severe case of the drunchies.
