Cooking in Leiden I

Isn't it fun how your cooking in every place is somewhat different? Or is it just me? Of course it' the question of the groceries you can actually get (easily) in a certain place but also of kitchen equipment (I do not have a microwave here, so anything that needs to be heated up in a microwave is work lunch - but I do have a loaf cake form now) and just the general feeling of a place. My apartment is rather cold, so I make a lot of soups, which also have the advantage of not needing a microwave to heat them, and oven-baked things. There is also a lot of space in my fridge so things get frozen - today for breakfast, I had two slices of a fruit&nut loaf that I made some four weeks ago, for example.

Anyway, here are the things I made in Leiden, at least the beginning of them. Except, for some reason, I did not make a single photos of potatoes with herb quark even though I ate them a ton. I have so missed quark!
I have more photos but the post is overloaded as it is already. More to come soon! (I also definitely preferred the light in the Somerville apartment; definitely made better photos. I know I could learn to make better photos but I am lazy and, when I make the photos, usually too hungry to wait. See the potatoes that never made it to being photographed at all.)
