We had some delicious courgette soup in the sunshine before going into the very interesting H’Art Museum in Amsterdam.
That evening, wanting to eat Dutch food, I had Boerenkool Stamppot and being a big fan of mash and gravy, absolutely loved this meal.
Tonight we have been to the Hall for Cornwall for a talk I really wasn’t interested in, A Gun Through Time by the historian David Olusoga. However, the subject was made quite fascinating by him concentrating on the social history rather than the military history of guns.

Stamppot sounds like Colcannon or Bubbles and Squeak . . . which we love!
I’ve got a book recommendation for you ~ The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife. I expect you’d enjoy it since I’ve enjoyed a number of your recommendations.

Exactly that! We love Bubble and Squeak too – I love it when there are the right kind of leftovers to make it. It’s especially good fried and then topped with a poached egg!
I’ll look for the recommended read, thank you. 🙂
