Amsterdam Guide

Earlier today I began to long for a bit of adventure, a change of pace that was needed to a picturesque city bolstered in history. So, I grabbed the laptop to expand my knowledge regarding the capital city of the Netherlands [Amsterdam], where I’ll be traveling in a few weeks. I’m compiling an itinerary to art galleries, museums, and restaurants. Rembrandt House Museum has been added and I’m working on passes to Anne Frank House. The culinary landscape will be a huge highlight as we sample Gouda cheese and pastries. I’ve examined maps and see neighborhoods are compact and pedestrian-friendly, so walking will be the preferred mode of transport.

Travel safely,
Kathleen

Fall Playlist [Thanksgiving]

It’s chilly in the Mid-Atlantic, yet this is not stopping me from getting out to run errands after work. Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and last minute preparations are underway. Shopping for the holiday began last week, and will continue until Tuesday. This time-frame works in case I’ve forgotten anything and must run a last minute trip to the grocery stores. On Wednesday morning I’ll hit the kitchen running to bake, sauté, and prep for Thursday’s dinner.

I’ve compiled a brief playlist of holiday and jazz music to listen to while working in the kitchen. Having a strong pot of coffee and a few tunes makes the work load enjoyable!
