Spokane, WA: April 4, 2008. Independent Media Professionals MyHATT (which stands for Hands Across the Table) is featuring the country of Holland in the month of April. With the unique insight of a world class poet and gourmet eel smoking chef, Robert Meijer (better known as 'Zwerver' in his homeland of the Netherlands), MyHATT is taking its International Dinner Club concept to new heights. Robert has not only added content but has willingly shared experiences and passions of his own about his beloved country to bring Holland to life. MyHATT was started by two senior citizens from Spokane, WA that love to cook and have a passion for world culture. Having shared his family's home with over 35 exchange students over the years from virtually every corner of the globe, Jeff Gustafson is living a dream through his MyHATT creation. At 63, he is just beginning to enjoy life. Jeff shared his vision of MyHATT with a good friend (also a spy senior of 70) Arlene Hawkinson who has a history in catering, and childhood education and between the two MyHATT has blossomed into a wonderful experience of taste and culture "where the world gets smaller with every bite…" Authentic menus every month that feature the taste of that region; a children's section with games and quizzes and stories to teach about the featured country; a wine section with the "Old Winer" (another senior from Seattle) giving hints as to what to serve with the meal; as well as some history, culture and traditions of the people that live in the country.
