Het is ten strengste verboten de toestellen te bedienen onder de 16 jaare.From the laundromat: It is very strongly forbidden for those under the age of 16 to use these machines.
I spend my time waiting for the wash reading "Dag" (today or hello), a movie magazine in Dutch. I learned that Tom Boonen has a cartoon strip about him and his family and that the word for cyclocross in Dutch is veldrijden pronounced felt ray dern. Plus a lot of the usual about movie stars.
After the wash we went to a very nice tearoom for a cappuccino and waffle until the maids were done cleaning the house.
See on the trays all you get for the cappuccino, a dish with a small muffin, a cookie and a chocolate and a dish with different types of sugar cubes. My cappuccino was a Belgian style with chocolate bits and a raft of heavy slagroom (whipped cream). The waffle was infinitely better than the ones on the street corners. We had powdered sugar and butter. Drool Drool.

I think with the waffels here come in 2 distinct styles; the lighter, crisper ones that you had at the cafe, and the denser ones with the large sugar crystals that you get on the street corner. I prefer the heartier ones ... just a matter of personal preference.
The street corner ones should be called Belgian Twinkies, not waffles... total junk food. The ones in the cafes are for a more refined palate. Not as sweet, more flaky, and slightly yeasty.
