A tompouce is a pastry in the Netherlands (and Belgium). Kinda of similar to a mille-feuille, except with less layers. It's two layers of puff pastry with a ton of pastry cream in between them. The top is usually a pink icing, but during pride month and our own pride parade a store in the Netherlands, famous for their 'tompouce' also offer a special LGBTQIA+ one which I tried to recreate here, including a ton of other queer flags!

Poffertjes
Poffertjes are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour. Typically, poffertjes are a sweet treat, served with powdered sugar and butter, and sometimes syrup or advocaat. However, there is also a savoury variant with gouda cheese. Wikipedia

Dutch food culture is more than pancakes and cheese, though these are a couple of the most well-known dishes you can find here.The Netherlands offers a culinary experience unlike any other because of its diverse history, with all the cultures that have impacted Dutch cuisine living in relative proximity to one another.

We recently enjoyed making Uitsmijter for brunch, which is a Dutch dish that’s really simple--it’s an open-face sandwich of fried egg, Gouda, and ham--that’s meant to be a great dish to have when you’re tipsy and need food or hungover and need food. We had it after a lifting session, and it was delicious.
Coming soon-ish on the blog!

Yesterday we got a late start. Our niece and her dad were in Amsterdam for the Friends Experience because they are both HUUUUUUUGE fans of the show.
They had tickets for a while now but my niece somehow forgot and went already with a friend of hers. Then yesterday she went again with her dad because, you know, Friends.
The experience involves accurate and various Friends sets and moments... and the two of them took full advantage with photographs of themselves in iconic spaces recreating iconic moments.
They both said it was super busy because the day got off to a delayed start due to technical problems... so there were more people than expected crammed into a shorter schedule. Still, the pictures they took make it seem like they're the only ones on set.
Adorable. 😊
Tumblr media
Around 2 in the afternoon I get a text they're on their way back from Amsterdam... so at 230 we leave our hotel for the local grocery store, Aldi, because Kimmer literally cannot get enough of the place.
Also, I'm not clear why we need more food. My aunt is a relentless feeder of family members. Plus we've got a stock of baked foods we keep receiving as gifts from family over the last few days.
Still, we're going up and down the aisles looking... looking...
And yeah. We find a gift or two for someone or someone's at home.
Don't tell them, though.
It's a surprise. 😉
3pm and my niece and her dad are pulling up to our hotel. Since we're still at Aldi, they drive down the street to pick us up...
And then we're on our way to the center of Gorinchem.
Now first we've gotta a coupla highly important things to figure out.
Here's how my niece put it:
"So my father and I are discussing a few options. We thought we could get a chai latte 😆 we could go into town and drink some in one of the local lunchrooms. Then I can take the card game to my grandparents tonight! Or we could get the chai latte to go and go to our house. Or we don’t get a Chai latte 🤣🤣 so many options😆"
Yeah.
Complicated. 😉
We quickly decide the Chai Latte is essential to our afternoon so we head to Gorinchem Centrum and park in the Kweeklust parking garage along one of the rivers surrounding the centrum.
We spend the next hour walking from the north end to the south end where there are locks and then those boats that take tourists down the Merwede river to castle Slot Loevestein.
I'm pretty sure this is the dock from which my cousins 'n I as children made that trip ourselves with our parents, one of whom took an iconic photograph of us.
From the parking garage, Kimmer 'n I do a pretty good job of walking and being present with family. This part of town is so picturesque, though, there's so much unique architecture, so much fascinating detail, that for a while in there we become raging photography monsters, eating up everything we see along the way.

This is, of course, my niece and her dad's hometown. It's also a small town and every so often they run into someone they know.
And then another someone.
And another someone.
Yeah.
That small.
Either that or they're both quite famous and we just don't know it. 🤔🤨
Along the way, both my niece and her dad point out the shops and cafes they frequent: a record store here, a high-tea restaurant there. It's a lovely bit of family Show 'n Tell. 😊
For example, my niece points out an entrance to a church that used to be walled off, hidden from the Nazi's during the occupation of Holland during World War II.
My niece's dad one-upped her by pointing out a lane along which is a row of connected, narrow homes. In one of these, he tells us, is the home in which he was born.
He just can't remember exactly which one. 😕
He can tell us, though, that the building across the narrow lane from the row houses used to be an orphanage. And then a block later we run across a shop featuring a painting of Hugo the Great and an illustration of castle Slot Loevestein which prompted a telling of this slice of dutch history in which Hugo is captured, taken to the town center where villagers help him escape inside a wooden cabinet.
Huzzah!
By 'n by, we wander to a historic door that's related to the Hugo the Great story... next to which is Espressobar Hugo.
Where we get our Chai Lattes.
It's 4pm.
Tumblr media
A lovely little espresso place, the bar offers a full sit-down experience: take your seat, check out the menu, and soon someone comes by to take your order.
Eventually, our Chai lattes are brought to the table. Actually, three Chai lattes and one cappuccino 'cause that's my niece's dad's jam.
The Chai, by the way, comes in tall, thick, clear glass cups accompanied by a shot of whipped cream with Bailey's and a little square of chocolate brownie.
Kimmer couldn't have hers... so she gave it to me for a sum total of two little brownie squares for my afternoon.
After a lovely hour of hot drinks, good fun company, and a bunch of photos Kimmer felt compelled to take at the back of the espresso bar, we take our leave of Gorinchem in order to swing by the home of my niece's family.
Why?
Because our day's primary agenda with her is to play her Harry Potter trivia game.
We've taken most of the afternoon with a lovely city walk, so now we're gonna grab the game on our way to my aunt and uncle's to play after dinner there.
Of course it's not a grab 'n go we do. The "stop" easily turns into a Show 'n Tell of their home including the "shed" out back that's a pretty massive deal with plenty of storage inside and a covered space outside for lounging on chairs. There's even a sign over the window facing the covered space that reads
Surf Shack. 🙂
It's actually more fun than I'd guess getting a tour of someone else's home. But this one's comfortable and hits a lot of the same design notes that we love from lighting to furniture to decor (including the old-school LPs and the Lego VW bus).
Tumblr media
6pm We're back at my aunt and uncle's place for dinner. At the dinner table's their daughter (arriving a little later than the rest of us due to work), her husband, their daughter/my niece, and then us.
Once again it's a lovely time had by all with a thoroughly traditional Dutch menu including variations on mashed potatoes, sausages, and beef.
After dinner, we settle around the table to play my niece's Harry Potter trivia game. We don't specifically read or follow the rules... we just play in a way that makes sense to us and is fun for us.
So.
Is it fun?
Well, all I can say is it's LOUD. It's competitive. And we're super into it against each other and with each other.
Because that's how we roll. 😉
Now, while we're thoroughly into all things Potter, my cousin's husband's in the living room with my aunt and uncle revisiting some of my uncle's history.
Meanwhile (and I don't know how this happened) the game we're playing at the dining room table turns into a wide-ranging conversation about the British royal family, from "The Crown" to the tabloids to each royal to each royal couple.
Again. No idea how that happened.
Definitely the conversation drew my aunt into the room. My aunt... who isn't into Harry Potter trivia games but is quite able to weigh in on British royals past and present. 🤔🤨
And then somehow (again, I don't know how) the conversation pivots to the challenges of being a parent and the simultaneous, complementary challenges of growing up. It's another wide-ranging and detailed conversation with everyone everyone everyone at the table weighing in.
'Cause we're all experts like that.
With so many parents at the table, it's like a support group. 😉
Inevitably, our arrival at 6pm flips through more hours than I would've guessed because suddenly it's 11 o'clock at night.
Did not see that coming either.
So, with hugs and kisses all around, my cousin's husband and niece drop us back at our hotel at 11:30.
Dang.
Talk about Time Travel.
That time at my aunt and uncle's flew.
And yeah. It's amazing how much life you can cram into those hours...
When you're with your tribe.
☺️

One of my fave Dutch meals is literally just mashed potato mixed with smoked cheese/sausage and kale. It's filling, it's cheap, I love it.
