There is one place we always go to when in Amsterdam and that is Pancakes Amsterdam. On each visit I have the pancakes with bacon pieces cooked into them. Served with maple syrup it is the perfect meal. Using this as my inspiration I made bacon waffles to enjoy for breakfast.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Bacon Waffles ♥
Last December our neighbours started building a chicken coop. It took them so long to complete the task so we just left them to it. Eventually chickens were added and the problems began. I am all for urban farming but it needs to be humane. The hens are cooped up all day and not free to roam. They make a huge racket and one night would not settle. This led to their dog coming to inspect, and Scarlett followed suit. The end result was the two dogs fighting one another through the fence. Once I saw how much blood Scarlett left as proof I wrote our neighbours a letter. They have built the coop along our wall which is against the bylaws. I asked them to please move it or I would go to the council. Eventually with summer approaching I had to follow through.
Today’s inspirational recipe from Lavender and Lime ♥ Bacon Waffles ♥ #LavenderAndLime Click To Tweet
The hens wake up at the crack of dawn and start clucking. My much needed weekend sleep is being destroyed and I made a noise nuisance complaint. For whatever reason the Council closed the case without resolving the issue. Now I’m longing for winter and late sunrises and live in hope the neighbours will spend this December building their hens a new home. Or that they will find a way to let the hens roam their vast property without their dogs trying to attack them. Do you keep hens, and if so, are they free to roam?

Wishing you an amazing last evening of 2021. I will be back at work on the 5th of January and will reply to comments then.
sorry to hear about the chicken problem; I hope it gets resolved soon…
and I loved the waffles in Amsterdam – I even cheated on my vegan diet so I could try them 🙂
I think they are worth the cheat!
Have a very happy New Year. I hope travel opportunities will open up.
