At the 'poffertjes' stall you can enjoy delicious tiny, sweet pancakes known as 'poffertjes'!

The stall belonged to the Werk-Huizinga family and was often to be found at weekly markets and annual fairs. Similar stalls were also a common sight in the Zaan area. This stall was in use from 1850 to 1961.

Historical laundry/bleachery at the Nederlands Openluchtmuseum (Dutch Open Air Museum) in Arnhem.

Location: Overveen, municipality Bloemendaal (NH)
Building period: 1702
Relocation: 1938
Interior: about 1900

From 1817 until 1932, this bleachery was owned by the Gehrels family. It was the last laundry in the Netherlands to be driven by horsepower.
The upper middle classes would have their washing collected by out-of-town laundries every three to six months. Depending on the preference of the customer, the laundry would return the washing dry, damp or ready to put away in the wardrobe. In the laundry you can see every stage of this process. First, the washing was sorted - a dirty and unhygienic task. It was then washed in pounding vats which were driven by a horse in the horse mill. After this, the washing was taken on large barrows to the bleaching fields, where it was laid out in the sun to bleach. Next, it was rinsed clean again in ice-cold water. Finally, the washing was dried, put through a mangle, ironed and folded.

This odd-looking fish in the fantastic Burgers' Ocean at Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem caught my attention. I hope my friend Arquimolusco can identify the species... and perhaps clarify the function of its strange "nose"...

genus: Naso
species: probably Naso brebvirostris
