Okay, me is supposed to post a blog about the Dutch Alphabet today, but me really want to tell something important. Next Monday (September 1st) it is my friend Berry her birthday (if you want to say Happy Birthday, just tweet her at @coegie). So, instead of talking about words starting with the letter P (which me will do next week), me wanted to show a picture of me and Berry with some Pancakes (pannenkoeken in Dutch, but again, me will talk about that next week). Me is hoping for a great birthday. Because me came to her on her birthday too!
O boy, now me hope we have pancakes!
…oranje (orange)!. Oranje is the Dutch national and royal colour. They often speak of the Oranjes (the Oranges) when the Dutch speak about the beloved Royal Family, but also when they are talking about the national sporters and athletes. Oranje is also the colour of oranjebitter (a liquor made of oranges) and used as a part of the name of oranjekoeken (orange cookies). They are pink though… and eaten at weddings in Friesland. The spicey cookie is enriched with some almond paste, pink icing and whipped cream and fruit. But you can also buy cookie pieces at the local supermarket.

Me thinks this little ape kinda liked it, because he stayed put for the whole story. Me just love it at 
O boy O boy! Last Friday the 8th of August me went to 
Hello everyone. Me know me always post funny and nice stuff. But every once in a while little cookie monsters will have to be a little serious. Today it World Lion Day. Me love these lions from DierenPark Amersfoort. His name is Tonga and the female feline is called 
…molen (windmill)! There are a lot of windmills in the Netherlands, like at Kinderdijk. Windmills were used for the wind energy. That energy was used to grain wheats (and such) to make flour for baking bread and cookies! There were other windmills too, like to use the wind energy to saw wood and such. A lot of old windmills are still preserved in cities, towns and in the country. The old ones are usually used as museum (museum is the same in Dutch and English) or are a monument (monument is also a M-word that is the same in both languages). There are also a lot of modern windmills that make wind energy to use to get electricity for homes and computers. (molen)
…leeuw (lion). Here you see Sabari the leeuwin (lioness). She is the Queen of
