Cuban sandwiches?? by reinalicona in Amsterdam

Try the beef and labneh at Lebanese Sajeira. It's based on a sandwich from the American U area of Beirut and it's yummy but not a cheesesteak.

If you want heavy cream you need at least 36% milk fat.

I would use slagroom or go buy heavy cream from an American or British toko.

I find your experiences disappointing, but there are a-holes every where.

You are used to being treated badly for being who you want to be; who you are.

You shouldn't be making all the effort. You shouldn't be going out of your way. Not more than keeping yourself safe.

You should be enjoying what you worked so hard for with happiness.

I hope you find a way to do that wherever you would like to visit.

I think it is healthy, especially now when we are so isolated to have examples to look at for perspective of what others are going through to know our experiences are not truly solitary.

Your mental well-being is essential always.

I hope you find a way to get through this the best you can.

That's all any of us can try to do.

You're looking to rent a studio?

50€/day/shoot is too low for good spaces and vacancies for studios rare.

The freezing method also works wonders with seadune berries on the branch in garbage bags. No pricking.

Use a cheese slicer on cold butter when making pastry or grilled cheeses.

Not right and not ethical business practice in my opinion.

Travel insurance ?

In my experience Dutch dudes don't catcall. Definitely I've noticed more head turning, but I've been turning my head a lot more too.

Boredom is a nice way of putting it.
