after filming our grocery store snack video and learning about the existence of a kesbeke pickle chocolate bar, we decided that we had to give it a try. that was a mistake.

we all scream for ice cream!
we took these right before we moved to the netherlands in austin, texas, at one of our favorite ice cream shops: jeni's splendid ice creams. the flavor was rocket pop which was an amazing frozen yogurt version of the famous rocket pop popsicles in the US (which are sort of like the rocket po...

a blindfolded michelle is challenged with trying to identify the age of the same style of dutch cheese, from jong (young) to belegen to oud (old).
can she do it? or will y'all need to decide her punishment? dun dun dunnnn!

well, we're trying to take more current photos to post here, but we haven't really done a ton of stuff over the past few weeks that was photoworthy.
of course, the scheveningen new years dive was cancelled due to high winds, so we decided to also skip the naked new years dive that we had planned on doing ...

since the "official" scheveningen beach new years dive was cancelled this year due to weather, we decided it was best not to attempt a naked new years dive either.
so instead, we rented our favorite private sauna and had a refreshing cold plunge there.

our first youtube video after the break releases today at 5pm CET.
...and another one is already in the can for next week!
plus! a sort of "new years dive" coming to patreon this weekend. not the real one, of course, since it was cancelled and the weather was miserable, but we're going to make it work! :)

our first youtube video after our break was supposed to be this vlog in antwerp, but sadly, a bunch of stuff just didn't work out, and we were on a cat-related time crunch.
honestly, we've had very few total failures from a video perspective since starting our channel... i think it's 3 now, including antwerp and the kin...

we decided to throw out our original plan for the vlog this week and just treat ourselves.
by the way, thank you all so much for your support here on patreon, which is allowing us to take the break from youtube that we need to make sure we're taking care of pants. we miss making videos for youtube so much, but our lives...

yeah, we filmed a video for king's day this year, except... it sucked.
we were planning on releasing the video on our second channel, with our experience in dordrecht on king's day, but tbh, it was really, really boring. the video, not the day. i think it was a mix of the day being more chill than expected and some thin...

a couple of weeks ago, we visited a (relatively) new food hall in rotterdam.
it's called station bergweg, and it's in an old train station that's been decomissioned since 2006. it's kept a lot of its train station vibes, namely the old status boards for the platforms.
the food is amazing too. so we wanted to docum...

a random assortment of instax photos from the past few weeks.
we made a pseudo-thanksgiving meal at home, substituting turkey with a rotisserie chicken from the market, along with green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, and stove top stuffing from the expat shop, with michelle's pie for dessert!

there's a recent trend of new instant cameras (i.e. polaroid and instax) being made that have actual, real glass lenses, which means that the end result can be remarkably high quality. and while these are a bit blurry, the photos are actually super crispy irl. i've gotta work on the scanning bit...

it's like beer pong, but with bitterballen! and weird sauces.
apologies about the camera re-focusing... we had to make a last minute adjustment to fit the cups in the video and i didn't realize that was going to confuse the camera so much. i will report the issue to management.

vegetarian vlammetjes? terrible. vlamtostis? not quite right. but vlammetjes are SO GOOD. it's one of our most guilty pleasures here in the netherlands. so in this video, we set out to recreate the vlamtosti, with vegetarian filling, to create something that we don't feel quite as guilty about eating.

if you follow us on instagram, you know that at the start of october, we unexpectedly lost our 15 year old cat, sashimi. a vet visit we thought was no big deal quickly turned into something much more serious. after a few days in the hospital and then at home, things kept getting worse, and we lost her.
