Good 39º cloudy morning.
Yesterday I went to GP to do some grocery shopping. Then back to RR to pick up a package at the PO, and home. I had ordered some Stroopwafels at Amazon. These are AWESOME with a cup of coffee!
They are made in Holland. First time I had one was on the flight from Hawaii. Fell in love with these! There are caramel and honey flavors.

National Café au lait Day
Café au lait is French for coffee with milk.
In Europe "café au lait" stems from the same continental tradition as "caffé latte" in Italy, "café con leche" in Spain, "kawa biala" (white coffee) in Poland, "Milchkaffee" in Germany, "koffie verkeerd" (wrong coffee) in The Netherlands, and "café com leite" in Portugal.. simply "coffee with milk". In northern Europe, cafe au lait is the name most often used in coffee shops. At home, it can be prepared from dark coffee and heated milk. It cafés it has been prepared on espresso machines from espresso and steamed milk ever since these machines became available in the 1940's.
