A Year of CrockPotting on the Rachael Ray Show!
I've been keeping a secret. Back in March, I didn't take any days off of my resolution, but I cooked for people outside of my family. I cooked for The Rachael Ray Show.
A camera crew came to my house to film, and then a week later my mom and I flew to New York.
I signed a confidentiality agreement that I wouldn't talk about the details of the show until I was given an air date.
I now have an air date.
Wednesday July 9th! So, mark your calendars, set your TIVOs and take the day off work!
This is what the show's website has to say. The video link won't be live until after the segment airs.
The Details.
At the end of February, Stefanie Javorsky from the Rachael Ray show called. I had emailed the show sharing how I made crème brulee in the crockpot. It was 11:30am and I was trying to get lunch ready and my three-year-old prepared for a nap. She was quite cranky (my 3-year-old, not Stefanie--she was lovely) and since the number in the caller ID was listed as "unknown" I was pretty sure that the caller was a salesperson.
I braced myself, and heard "Hello, do you have time to talk? This is Stefanie calling from the Rachael Ray show."
All of a sudden I had all the time in the world. We had a very nice conversation, and I think I may have handed my preschooler a tub of frosting and a spoon to keep her quiet in the background. Stefanie asked a lot of questions, and we had 3-4 separate conversations before I learned that a camera crew was definitely coming to my house.
That's when I freaked out. I immediately called Jenny and she talked me down. Then I emailed Susan to discuss clothing options and high-powered deodorant.
At My House.
Adam took the day off work, and I kept the kids home from school and their various activities. The camera crew arrived at 9am, and we were told to act natural. It's, um, hard to act natural when great big huge men are bringing great big huge pieces of equipment into your home and discussing how to best light the teeny tiny kitchen and whether or not they should move this furniture here or there or maybe do this or that in order to best film.
They did it, though. My kitchen has never looked so good. I think I want to rent some of those huge lights for my next party.
The filming went well. I was nervous, but calmed down after about an hour. These were some really nice guys. They were dads, and seemed genuinely interested in learning more about the crockpot. They stayed for just under six hours. I made enchilada casserole, baked potatoes, buffalo chicken dip, and crème brulee.
After the filming, we ate the food and Adam made margaritas. It was really nice.
I began to relax about the trip to New York and was looking forward to going. The show paid for me to go, and my mom was going to use her miles to come with me.
But then we got sick. Really sick. We were all sick on Easter Sunday, and I was supposed to get on the plane on Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, I didn't get out of bed and begged Laura to do my BlogHer work. Laura rocks. Somehow I pulled myself together and got on the plane as scheduled.
New York.
The plane ride was uneventful and a driver named Jimmy picked my mom and me up at the airport and drove us to the hotel. Barack Obama was evidently in that hotel the same night we were! We missed him by nano-seconds, but saw the secret service entourage.
My mom and I walked around and saw a bit of Central Park and Rockefeller Center while we were waiting to be taken to the taping.
I prepared a crème brulee in the test kitchen of the studio, and sat back and waited. I did not meet Rachael before going on stage. The producers like the meeting to be fresh.
I was pretty nervous, and still felt sick. I had taken an antihistamine and a bunch of Advil, and felt really out of it.
My mom kept ensuring me that I was going to do fine, and I was so happy that she was there. I got my hair and make-up done backstage, which was really cool. When it was time to go on stage, my knees went a bit weak. Rachael was standing at the counter of the kitchen set, and the lights were dim. The audience was watching the footage that was filmed at my house (I didn't get to see the film, but my mom says it looks good).
Rachael reached out to grab my hand---and whispered "you okay?" I whispered back that I thought I was going to puke. She said "Oh no, honey. No puking."
And then the lights went on and we started filming. We filmed straight through, with no cuts, and the whole thing took about 5 minutes. They gave me a brand new crockpot that Crock-Pot sent. It's a really cool one.
And that was that!
Before I knew it, I was back in a car on the way to the airport. I had a face full of HEAVY make-up; more make-up than I have ever worn. After we checked in at the airport, I washed my face in the restroom. There weren't any paper towels, so I dried my face with a toilet-seat cover.
Totally classy.
Mom and I made it home, and all was good. Adam and the kids were still sick, and were home for the next few days to recover.
I had the most fun, ever, and can't wait to do it again.
Rachael? Stefanie? I'm free next Thursday...

That is so cool. I love Rachael Ray. Especially her show on the Food Network, 30 minute meals. I check you site everyday to see what awesome dish you have made. I have tried a few and love them. Need to get the crock out again and try your mac n cheese.
- July 1, 2008 at 6:14 AM
Wow!! What exciting news you have been holding onto Stephanie!! I cannot wait to watch to show. I love your blog so much. I've been faithfully checking your new recipes everyday for the past two months, when I learned I had to go gluten free and was desperate for help. You made preparing family dinners seem not quite so daunting. Quite a few of the recipes have made it into our regular rotation now. I'm so glad your cooking is being recognized.

Whoo Hoo! That is so cool! I'll be sure to tape that episode just to be a supporter. I love checking out your site everyday to see what you have going on. I think crockpotting is a wonderful way to cook. Let's hope that this contact with the "big" time will get you noticed by food network or Crockpot themselves - I could see them offering you work in the future to promote this cooking process. Good luck with that and thanks for all your great recipes!

I used to be a faithful blog reader of yours and then ... I got pregnant. It wasn't just your food, you know, ANY food looked disgusting, and just talking about it ... yikes, get me a bucket.
So, I'm just now catching up on the last three months of recipes, and wow girl. I'm so excited to give them a try.
And most of all ... CONGRATULATIONS!!! Rachael Ray? That sounded like an amazing trip, but I must say I'm not surprised. All of my friends have been talking about your blog. You're famous, get used to it. :)

Congratulations, Stephanie. That's really exciting about Rachael Ray.
FYI, I posted a link to your Crock-Pot crayons on my blog (which you can read here: http://suddenlyfrugal.blogspot.com/search?q=crayons ) and my readers not only loved the "recipe" but loved that I helped them to discover your blog.

- July 9, 2008 at 8:53 AM
I just saw you on Rachael, and have bookmarked your site. After summer is over and I go back to work teaching, the crock pot is a life saver. I can't wait to try some of your recipes! I saw you did baked potatoes. I do them quite often, and everyone is shocked that you can make them in the crock pot.
- July 9, 2008 at 8:58 AM

Hey, I am a long time CR user. I began when my hubby was in grad school at Purdue and I worked on campus and took classes at night. I would prepare a crock pot meal early in the morning and bring the entire pot to his Grad office. The whole bldg. would be smelling good when I got off work at 5:00 p.m.met hubby in his office for a meal before my 6:00 p.m. class.
I also took it with me on ski vacations. Nothing better then coming back to the hotel and having a meal ready to eat for my two boys and assorted friends. Restaurants get rather pricey. I never had a complaint by any hotel about the C.P. cooking while we were out on the slopes.
During soccer tournaments our whole team would do a C.P. party in the hotel one of the nights. We always invited the hotel staff to come up for the buffet!! It was great.

You did a great job! I thought you and Rachael seemed to really hit it off. I am pretty sure I would have felt like puking too, even if I wasn't all drugged up, so good job!
- July 9, 2008 at 5:45 PM
I just love using my crock pot. But I have trouble thinking of dinners to cook in it. A few things my dad has cooked in them that I are great. Pork loin with red potatoes, carrots and onion (if you like onion) a can of cream of mushroom soup and then either a can of coke, beer (Coors light is a good one) or sprite instead of water. then cook for about 5 hours or till it's to the right temp. He has also cooked ham with sprite.

I just watched you on Rachel Ray (you did great!) I tivo her show everyday, so then I had to check out your blog.
How cool to be on her show~fun experience! :)
I love my crockpot but I can't imagine using it 365 days, so I'll be checking out all your recipes. thanks!
Blessings! :)

I saw you on Rachel Ray and thought it was a neat idea. I love using my crock pot - but only use it for simple stuff like beef stew; beef stroganoff and ribs. I can't wait to try one of your recipes! Love the blog - you did great!
- July 10, 2008 at 4:24 PM
- Shay S. said...
I watched you on Rachael's show and had not been to your blog until now. I love my crockpots and own three different sizes. I love them so much, I have to get two new lids, as they are about to break in two. I was so glad it was an overcast day and I could watch you (we have antenna TV)!
As much as I love my crockpot, I'm not sure I could vow to use it every day for a year. I love for DH to grill out dinner while I relax. Good for you that you are sticking to your resolution!
I found a few recipes that I'm eager to try.

I told everyone my "friend" Stephanie was going to be on Rachel Ray - when they asked me how I knew you I would say "i'm one of her followers". I've gotten so many recipes I now use....my hubby's favorite is the Korean Ribs....I like too many - especially the fritos and pretzel glop - and it IS "hide and eat it in the garage" good!
Thanks - now you're a star....and How do you cook like this and stay so fit and beautiful??

Your snowboard boot keeps your foot warm and connects you to your binding. Although some might argue otherwise, your boot is the most important gear purchase. A comfortable foot means more control, more warmth, and a longer day on the hill. Your ability level dictates a few aspects of the boot you choose, not the least of which is flex. Flex is rated on a 5-point scale from softest (1) to stiffest (5). Although beginners usually start with a softer, more forgiving boot and progress into a stiffer, more responsive boot, this is also a matter of preference. Once you dial in stiffness, flex, and lacing, factors like fit and personal preferences start to play into finding the perfect boot.
Boots are rated on stiffness scale that ranges from 1 to 10 (soft to stiff), which is indicated in the product description or technical specs. Consider the terrain you ride, your ability level, and your personal preferences before you go too soft or too stiff.
Most boots use a traditional shoe-lace-style system, a Speed Lace system, or the twisting-dial setup of BOA. Traditional lacing allows for a more customizable fit, while speed or BOA systems aim for ease and speed.
Riding Style:
Before you get too specific with features, determine your riding style and look for a boot made for your type of riding. You can find riding style indicated under a boot's recommended use.

As every Mom and Dad knows leaving our kids in a school or daycare is a very emotional, sensitive, and difficult part of the parenthood; this is because we as parents always worry about how our children are doing in our absence and about how they are progressing in their learning process. An ideal school or daycare is where children enjoy being there and learn while parents trust the environment the children in and assured of their learning.
As you can see, Jyothi's and my vision for Shree (4 yrs.) and Jai's (20 months) school was very determined and we were very keen in finding one. Luckily, we were able to find Primrose of Ashburn where our children were not only able to integrate into the school system in just few days; they have shown significant process. We believe, the Primrose staff, directors, owner and the overall school methodology is excellent for any age children. Additionally, staff's – teachers and supporting staff - dedicated approach to taking care of children is outstanding.
Team, we sincerely thank you for your outstanding job; Shree and Jai are truly enjoying and learning at Primrose School of Ashburn.

There's no question first dates can be nerve-wracking. What to wear? What to say? Where to go? All this uncertainty is compounded when it's not just a first date, but perhaps your first date in a long time.
Cooking can be fun and sexy. There're cooking classes for all levels available throughout the country. Checkout the food section of your local paper to see what area restaurants and community colleges are offering up courses.
The first date choices are endless when it comes to dancing. Even if you haven't stepped on a dance floor in years, there're plenty of teachers who can help you get back in the swing of things. Besides being fun, dancing cheek-to-cheek may also help you further determine the chemistry factor.
One of the most romantic and soothing outings is a picnic by the lake or on the beach. This is invitingly enhanced when both people like the outdoors. If you're shopping for food and drink together, this will add to the adventure. If not, be sure you decide on what each of you will bring to eat.
Share a love of art by going on a gallery walk or museum tour. You can also sign up for an art history lecture at your local university.
You can also keep your first date simple by renting a canoe or row boat and heading to a nearby lake or canal. If one of you is skilled, you can even rent a powerboat or sailing vessel. And, don't forget the excitement of a splurge on a moonlight cruise.
What better way to bond than over your favorite books? Attending a book reading at your local bookstore or university is a great way to find common ground and keep the conversation flowing.
Perhaps your new friend enjoys hitting the courts or shares your passion for golf. All types of active outings make great first dates and help you stay in shape at the same time. Engaging in a physical activity can raise the level of intimacy, as you'll be more exposed both physically and emotionally. You'll discover how the other person deals with winning and losing.
Whether you're moved by opera, country, rock, or classical, attending an indoor or outdoor concert is sure to set the tone for a great first date!
If gardening is a shared passion, a trip to a plant nursery or arboretum could be a fun first date idea.
What's the difference between Shiraz and Syrah? A fun and easy way to find out is attending a wine tasting or by visiting a winery. This is ideal for a first encounter because it's both casual and informative, and yet, you're still able to talk to each other.
Now that you've finally decided to go on that first date, the next decisions should be easy: Where to meet? What to say? What to wear? Yes, what to wear. According to a recent poll on PerfectMatch.com, 60% of guys believe Jeans, shirt and sport jacket expressed the best first date impressions, while that 46% of women preferred their first date suitors in Jeans, shirt and sport jacket and 43% in just a t-shirt and jeans.
To help you look and feel your best, we've enlisted the advice of Tom Julian, fashion trend analyst, guru and author of Nordstrom Guide to Men's Style.
Most women think men are totally unselfconscious about their physiques, but most men would (secretly) disagree. Know how to dress your body in order to play up its strengths and play down its weaknesses.
First things first, identify your body type but do not let it limit your fashion choices. Being self-aware about your physique can help you hone in on the right clothing choices for you.
The right suit can turn an interview into a job, a lunch meeting into a deal, maybe even a date into a long-term relationship...
...But the wrong suit can ruin everything. It's been said that the suit is a symbol of modern manhood; whether a man is 18 or 81, he needs a great suit in his closet. A suit imparts a sense of authority, credibility and class to the wearer. Tom Julian truly believes that it's impossible to go wrong wearing the right suit.
As the saying goes, if you really care about someone, you are willing to give them the shirt off your back. The shirt is a critical part of the tailored ensemble that sits closest to the body, so it has to be comfortable and impeccably fitted. Even though it may seem irrelevant, a great shirt is what makes a great suit look, well, great. The shirt is the heart and soul of the suit - the jelly in the doughnut, the olive in the martini.
Pants are a wardrobe staple - and we are not talking about your standard pair of jeans - but a great pair (or two) of trousers. Trousers feature belt loops, a fly, a waistband, pleats, or cuffs and are an essential part of creating a look that's comfortable for you.
Put your best foot forward on your first date by stepping into footwear that matches your personal style - from everyday casual to fine dining dating. Ever wonder what shoes to wear with certain fabrics? We have some answers for you.

Students Win L'Oreal 24-Hour Design Storm Competition
April 17, 2013 - A student team from Ringling College of Art + Design took part in a special project with L'Oreal USA Luxe Division where they created new product packaging designs for products in the L'Oreal USA Luxe brand. The Ringling College team of five students was one of three design schools who participated in a 24-hour "Design Storm" competition and then presented their ideas and designs to the L'Oreal Team.
After months of consideration and review with top L'Oreal Luxe Division management and a special creative consultant on the project, the Ringling College team was chosen as the school which provided the key inspirational designs for the execution of the project. This new project will be launching at the end of summer 2013 in the beauty industry.

great sweater
I like these sweaters very much - the colors are lovely.
Westwood, MA
The best sweater!
These sweaters are beautiful! They are soft and comfortable and are a nice fit. I am glad I was able to order them in several colors before they sold out. A personal favorite!
Lynbrook, NY
More, please!
I love these sweaters! I'm so disappointed to see that they are only listed under clearance - in colors I already have. I hope Chadwicks will come out with a long list of color choices next season for this top - I'd buy them all. Please make more!
Love this sweater
I have ordered these sweaters for two years now. They are comfortable and wash well. I love them!
Chadds Ford, PA
have 2 of these
I own 2 of these: they are fitted..ordered my usual size of small: I am 5-6, and these are shorter in length, but I like them like that. No need to tuck in.
Great Fall Sweater
I am 5'5" and normally wear a size medium in tops. The medium in this sweater fits very well -but don't be shocked if it looks much smaller when you remove it from the packaging...it will stretch. I bought the red and the cobalt blue. Both are very rich, pretty colors. The sweaters are very soft and light weight.
Helotes, TX
Great Sweater
I am 5'7 1/2" and this sweater fits perfectly. I have it in grey and pomegranate and wear them all the time. They wash and wear nicely. Going to buy some more in other colors.
Houston, TX
Regarding size and a few colors...
Size: a few years ago I ordered a ribbed sweater in Petite for myself (I'm 5'2 1/2) and my mother-in-law (5 or 5'1). For her the length was perfect, for me it was too short. I returned mine.So this year I ordered myself the Regular length. For me the 24 in length is perfect! It fits me like a good majority of retail Petite tops in length, falls mid-hip where it should, and the 3/4 sleeves also are perfect. *most Regular sized tops are too long in length and in the sleeves)Color: Pomegranate is a really pretty pink, to me it looks just like online. I also ordered Chocolate, it's maybe a tiny bit darker in person but super close to the online pic. And Black Current, it's dark! Not as bright as it looks online. When I opened the bag and emptied it on my bed I couldn't tell which was the brown and which the purple. But, it is a pretty color :)

Netherlands - Exercise normal security precautions
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for the Netherlands. Exercise normal security precautions.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Violent crime rarely occurs in the Netherlands; however, petty crime (such as pickpocketing and bag snatching) occurs in the larger cities, particularly in Amsterdam, where it constitutes a major problem. Tourists are frequently victims of robbery. Be vigilant at all times and pay attention to your surroundings.
Thieves operate on trains and time their activities to coincide with train stops, which allow for a quick exit. Victims who resist have been physically assaulted. Be particularly cautious on trains to and from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport and the corridor between Rotterdam Central Station and Amsterdam Central Station.
In Amsterdam, thieves are also active in restaurants and coffee shops, around the de Wallen district (the red-light district) and at Central Station, as well as on public transportation, especially tram routes 1, 2 and 5, between Central Station and the museum district.
Organized gangs of thieves often use distracting techniques. Typically, a member of the gang will soil the victim's clothes or ask directions while others rob the victim.
Passports and other valuable documents are often stolen from youth hostels in Amsterdam.
Since 2013, the Dutch government has maintained the threat level in the Netherlands at "substantial". This is the second-highest level in the Netherlands' four-level rating system. While stressing that there are no reliable indications that terrorist networks are currently plotting attacks in the Netherlands, the Dutch authorities raised their levels of vigilance given their assessment that there is a realistic possibility that an attack will take place in the Netherlands. Exercise caution and maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times and in all places. Consult the Ministry of Security and Justice for more information on threat levels.
Spiked food and drinks
Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery. Such incidents have been reported.
Road safety
Roads are excellent, although road congestion is common in areas around Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam, where rail is a convenient alternative. There is a chronic lack of parking spaces throughout the country, and fines for illegal parking are severe.
Cyclists have priority over other traffic. Trams have priority except where signposted at major junctions and busses have priority when pulling out of bus stops. Unless otherwise signposted, vehicles coming from the right have priority. The centre lanes of many urban two-way streets are reserved for buses, trams and taxis.
Motorists and pedestrians must pay attention to cyclists and cycle paths.
Road Traffic Signs and Regulations in the Netherlands is a comprehensive guide published by the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment that answers all questions on rules for drivers and cyclists, signs, hand signals by traffic police, parking rules and much more.
Public transportation
Public transportation is excellent.
Taxi service is generally safe but expensive.
Rail is convenient in the areas of Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Consult the Dutch website Holland by train for more information.
The Government of Canada does not provide information on the safety of foreign domestic airlines. Research foreign domestic airlines, aircraft and government safety supervision if you have concerns about aviation safety standards abroad.
Demonstrations occur periodically in larger urban centres such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague. Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings as they have the potential to suddenly turn violent. Follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
General safety information
Exercise normal safety precautions. Ensure that personal belongings and your passport and other travel documents are secure at all times. Do not carry valuables or large sums of money on your person. Do not leave baggage or personal belongings unattended in a vehicle at any time.
Dial 0900-8844 for the police (non-emergency)
The Victim Support Netherlands (Slachtofferhulp Nederland – SHN) service assists victims, witnesses or survivors after a crime, disappearance, accident or calamity. The SHN can be reached at 0900-0101 (press 1 for assistance) or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Emergency services
Dial 112 for emergency assistance.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Dutch authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Royal Netherlands Embassy or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
The Netherlands are a Schengen area member state. Upon arrival, Canadians are required to present a passport that must be valid for at least three months beyond the date of expected departure from the Schengen area. Prior to travelling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Customs officials will ask you to show them a return ticket and proof of sufficient funds for your stay.
Tourist visa: Not required for stays up to 90 days*
Business visa: Not required for stays up to 90 days*
Student visa: Not required for stays up to 90 days*
* The 90-day period begins upon initial entry into any country of the Schengen area.
Schengen area
The following 26 countries comprise the Schengen area: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Schengen area has common rules regarding visas and controls at external borders.
You do not need visas for short-term visits of up to 90 days within a six-month period. Your stays are cumulative, and include visits to any country within the Schengen area. Some countries require that you register with local authorities within three working days of your arrival.
It is important to get your passport stamped when entering the Schengen area. The absence of an entry stamp from the initial Schengen port of entry could create difficulties during subsequent encounters with local police or other authorities throughout the Schengen area.
After 90 days of stay in the Schengen area, you must leave for another 90 days before you can re-enter.
If you overstay the permitted 90 days in the Schengen area, you may be fined or deported. To visit for longer than 90 days, you must obtain a long-stay national visa.

- Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) - August 25, 2015 12:58 EDT
- Measles: Global Update - July 16, 2015 09:48 EDT
Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
|* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
|Country Entry Requirement*
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Western Europe. When in doubt, remember…boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Western Europe, certain insects carry and spread diseases like Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Certain infections found in some areas in Western Europe, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical services and facilities
Excellent medical facilities are widely available.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Canada and the Netherlands are signatories to the European Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. This enables a Canadian imprisoned in the Netherlands to request a transfer to a Canadian prison to complete a sentence. The transfer requires the agreement of both Canadian and Dutch authorities.
Dual citizenship
Dual citizenship is legally recognized in the Netherlands. However, Canadian officials may be limited in their ability to provide you with consular services if local authorities consider you a Dutch citizen. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times to minimize this risk. Citizenship is determined solely by national laws, and the decision to recognize dual citizenship rests completely with the country in which you are located when seeking consular assistance. See Travelling as a dual citizen for more information.
You must carry adequate identification at all times if you are over the age of 14. Anyone failing to show appropriate identification to law enforcement authorities upon request may be fined. Valid passports, Dutch residence permits and driving licences issued in the Netherlands or elsewhere in the European Union and the European Economic Area are considered acceptable. Keep a photocopy of your passport in case of loss or seizure.
Report the loss or theft of identification documents immediately to the nearest police station. Obtain a copy of the police report, keep it on your person and apply for a replacement document as soon as possible.
Illegal drugs
It is a common misconception that the Netherlands is tolerant of soft drugs; however, in reality, penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs (including hashish and marijuana) are strict. Convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines.
To overcome public nuisance and crime, an increasing number of municipalities are enforcing existing legislation banning non-residents of the Netherlands from purchasing cannabis at licenced "coffee shops".
Driving laws
You must be at least 18 years old to drive a car in the Netherlands. An International Driving Permit is recommended.
Penalties for drinking and driving are strict. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05 percent.
Traffic offences can carry heavy, on-the-spot fines. If you are fined, always ask for a receipt. The use of cellular telephones while driving is prohibited, unless they are fitted with a hands-free device.
Dutch police have been known to hand out fines to pedestrians crossing the street on a red light.
Same-sex marriages
Same-sex marriage is legal.
The currency of the Netherlands is the euro (EUR).
Traveller's cheques and credit cards are widely accepted, and automated banking machines are widely available.
When crossing one of the external border control points of the European Union (EU), you must make a declaration to customs upon entry or exit if you have at least €10,000, or the equivalent in other currencies. The sum can be in cash, cheques, money orders, traveller's cheques or any other convertible assets. This does not apply if you are travelling within the EU or in transit to a non-EU country. For more information on the EU legislation and links to EU countries' sites, visit the European Commission's website on cash controls.
