stroopwafels

i consider myself gluten free.  sure, i don't follow 100% of the time, but in general, i try very very hard to follow a gf lifestyle.  and there are very FEW things that i want to eat.  good scallion pancakes are one.  the burger bun from the gallows is another.  picco pizza crust.  and stroopwafels.  if I haven't given you some, you should definitely let me know.  we shall share some.  so when I saw this office decorated like this, I thought - that's. so. cool.  great design.  and how could you possibly work there??  you would want to stuff your face all the time.

what is a stroopwafel you ask?  Here is the def from wiki:

(English translation: syrup waffle, treacle waffle, or caramel waffle; lit "syrup waffle") is a waffle made from two thin layers of baked dough with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle. They were first made in Gouda in the Netherlands. Large versions are sold in the streets as a snack.

you make a mug of hot tea, and then put these on top for a few minutes (resting, so they don't touch the water) and it melts the caramel inside and they are mmm mmm good.  so good.

from here.

posting this in honor of my friend, r, who headed back to the Netherlands the other day.  she is there with her baby and hubby and they are planning to leave the low country to head to cali.  good luck!
