For better or worse, when I reflect on the highlights of the trip, my
mind turns to... food. Two highlights in Amsterdam: 1. the Pancake Bakery
(above) makes unbelievable pancakes. Dutch pancakes are a whole
different thing--they are huge and thick and frequently savory.
(Jen got one with pesto and mozzerella--real, soft, gooey mozerella, not
the Pizza Hut kind.) It's like a cross between a crepe and a pizza. GAWD
they were good. Just across the gracht: 2. The Bolhoed (below)
serves gourmet vegetarian. Some of the best tzatziki I've ever had. The
whole time we were in Europe, we bought virtually nothing--our whole budget
went to food and drink. Yum.
