Sometimes I just talk too much. Many of those words are just empty, polite phrases. Is anyone really saying what they want to say? Sometimes I am just too naive. Will I ever learn? I don't know. Some lessons I never seem to learn.
Anyway, I want to show you some humble but beautiful treasures I have discovered. And they were just in front of me! I'm glad I am at least mastering the art of looking. Really looking.
I wish you all a happy new week!
A beautiful autumn day on the beach. The smell of the sea and of fried food.
Poffertjes. A typical Dutch sweet delicacy. You can compare poffertjes to pancakes but they are thicker and therefore they have a more "doughy" taste. The classic poffertjes are served with butter and icing sugar but as you can see in the picture you can get them in all kind of varieties. If you ever visit the Netherlands you can't leave without having tasted poffertjes.

Kruidnoten covered with dark, milk and white chocolate. Kruidnoten are, according to the description on Wikipedia: "Kruidnoten are a cookie-like kind of confectionery, traditionally associated with the early December Sinterklaas (on 5 December) holiday in the Netherlands." The taste is a bit similar to speculoos, if you've ever tasted that, although I might insult fans of kruidnoten.
