Dutch traditions. In the Netherlands the stork delivers the babies. When a child is born, you can find a stork in the garden or on the window. A pink ribbon means a babygirl, a blue ribbon a boy.

Only a few times a year you will find the Dutch red white and blue flag attached to private homes: on April 27th, King’s day, with an extra orange ribbon in honor of the House of Oranje(orange). On May 4th, Remembrance Day (half mast), on May 5th, Liberation Day. And in the months of June and July the flag might appear on some houses with a backpack attached: it means that an adolescent in the home graduated, and no longer needs the study books!

Pea soup! On a foggy and grey day like today you need this typical Dutch soup. My grandmother used to make the best pea soup. The ingredients are ribs for the stock(or for a vegetarian version use a vegetable stock) which you brown in a pan, add water and a bayleaf and split peas and simmer for an hour. In the mean time dice onion, carrot, leek, celeriac and a couple of celery stalks. Remove the ribs and bayleaf from the pot, take the meat off the ribs and put it back in the pot together with the diced vegetables and let it simmer for another 20 mins, stirring occasionally and maybe add some more water. Season with salt and pepper and put in a smoked sausage. Serve with rye bread and smoked bacon. Enjoy!
