Traditional Dutch dish

2010-05-19T19:39:00.002+03:00

This card came to me from Marleen. On this card you can see traditional Dutch food is the traditional food served to celebrate the birth of a baby in the Netherlands, Beschuit met muisjes.
Beschuit are similar to rusks but a little softer. In the United Kingdom they are sold as Dutch crisp bakes. They are round, and are prepared by baking a small cylindrical bread, cutting it in half and baking a second time. They are spread with butter (or margarine) and the muisjes (lit. 'little mice') are sprinkled on top. These muisjes are sugared anise seeds. They are sold in a mixture of two colours: White and pink. In 1990 a new mixture was introduced: white and blue, and it has become a custom, but not a universal one, that the latter (blue) are served when a boy is born, and the former (pink) for a girl. When a child is born in to the royal House of Orange, orange muisjes are sold.
he tradition of celebrating a birth with beschuit met muisjes goes back to the 17th century. At that time the muisjes were white for a boy. Later this changed to blue. It was thought that the anise was good for the mother’s milk, that it would ease the contractions in the womb, and that it would drive away evil spirits. The name ‘muisjes’ was derived from their resemblance to the shape of a mouse, with the stem of the anise seed resembling a tail, as well as the fact that the mouse was seen as a fertility symbol. Beschuit met muisjes was originally eaten only by the upper class. The lower classes would celebrate a birth by eating white bread with sugar on top.
The only thing I don't know is what muisjes are.

Another Japanese card

2010-03-08T18:44:00.002+02:00

My first card from the "Did you know?" series. I saw a lot of this cards in Canadian users' profiles, so I think it's pretty popular postcards. And a very good idea - to write something interesting about animals/places of your country right on the "face" of the postcard. Thanks, Rose!
You may not see so I'll write here: "A sea lion is any of several marine mammats of the family Otariidae. Sea lions are characterized by the presence of external ear pinnae or flaps, long front flippers, and the ability to walk on four flippers on land. Sea lions are often a popular attraction at zoos and aquariums, performing tricks such as throwing and catching balls on their noses and clapping. Sea lions of many species have seen a severe and rapid decrease in numbers in recent years. Many factors including overfishing of other species, shooting by fishermen and pollution have probably contributed to the decline"

this awesme card came to me from Pierre. It's RAS card. Usually I don't like to get RAS cards, because I feel like I owe something to somebody. It's just me, never mind. But this card is so good! I mean, with few things the authors shown Switzerland! Chocolat, cross like on Swiss flag. So simple, but so perfect! Love it!

And this is a movie card from Daphne. I chose it because I like Leo as an actor, I think it's a shame he still has no Oscar.

Ingrid Bergman

This is a card from Kathryn. I was happy to receive a card with a famous actress. I'm still looking for MM and Audrey, but Ingrid Bergman is a great start, I think:)
