We ate boerenkool for dinner. It was sunny today but it is getting dark earlier these days, so I figured it was okay to make a traditional winter dish. The boerenkool, as always, was delicious and we did our duty in researching a rookworst substitute -- more on that later. We even had my favorite Zaanse mustard. Now if only we had gele vla it would have been a fully Dutch dinner.

Yesterday over dinner we watched some Dutch TV online. That was fun as always, with Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima on orange bikes in New York. We didn't get to see the weather report though.
