I thought they would be Belgian. Seems they are not. Still stroopwafels stay one of my favorite sweets. Simply delicious. Just crunchy enough, sweet enough, caramel, a perfect combination.

I simply love cherries. That deep red colour, the shape, the texture, everything about them. I think I could easily live off cherries. Every year around this time I can’t wait to dig my hand into a pile of cherries and pick the best ones. Of course I think they are overpriced, and I am [...]
