No, I did not eat cake! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is simply divine!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh yes I will eat the cake!
Where's the coffee, Merisi?
Black. Please! :-)
How could you resist?
ReplyDeleteI would have eaten the cake and hidden behind the paper too!
@ The Girl From Cherry Blossom Street,
ReplyDeletei added a cup of Viennese Melange,
Your black coffee is coming soon! ;-)
@ ewix,
(Whisper: I had grape strudel!) ;-)
I'd love to stop by La Maison de Merisi for such a lovely cup of coffee. I'll bring the pear preserves and sharp cheddar.
ReplyDelete@ Vicki Lane,
ReplyDeleteyesh! :-)))
I'll go for the chocolate marron torte :-)
ReplyDeleteI am ingtrigued by the newspaper skirt. The girl who buys it should not sit too near the kitchen stove!
I love your play on words about skirting the issue. Beautiful photos. I love the curve of the statues' arm in the forst shot , followed by the same motion of the woman reading the paper.
ReplyDeleteAs always, good post.
Now I'm hungry for a tasty tidbit and a wonderful cafe'.
You should have eaten the cake!
ReplyDeleteAnd I should have been there with you :-)
The coffee looks irresistable! Maybe a small piece of cake too?
ReplyDeleteI just love that first picture!
ReplyDeletea morning to enjoy the time and the day...
ReplyDelete@ The Girl From Cherry Blossom Street,
ReplyDeletethis is my favorite caryatid in all of Vienna!
There are two, infact: They grace the corners of a house which faces Tuchlauben. I always stop and look up, to admire their elegance. To my utter joy, they have been recently restored to their full beauty, the times and dust had taken a toll on their appearance.
@ ewix,
I made a chocolate marron cake for one of my daughters baptism celebration. I decorated it with ivory marzipan roses instead of the chocolate chestnuts (the roses I made myself *brag*).
@ Vicki Lane,
last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley, er, buy Cheddar, aged for 36 month, the one with the black wax coating from Cabot Farms. ;-)
@ Wandring Star,
you are welcome,
please, help yourself! :-)
I was intrigued by the newspaper skirts in that shop window, very original. I confess that I love Viennese shop windows. I love the sense of humour and wit they display.
@ photowannabe,
ReplyDeleteI love how you always notice the little things sometimes hidden away in my images and words, thank you for being such a kind and generous friend of my blog!
@ Britt-Arnhild,
*giggles*
I appreciate what you were saying,
but I am also grateful I saved those calories. ;-)
@ Vickie,
ReplyDeletehow about a large piece of cake with that coffee? ;-)
@ K,
that caryatid is such a joy to look at and capture!
@ Lara,
I thoroughly did, Lara!
The abysmal weather forecast for this week is such that I had to go out and enjoy that beautiful Sunday morning to the fullest.
Oui, oui, un café avec une chocolate marron torte, merci Merisi! (We'll need a big table, I see)
ReplyDeleteNo, like you, I don't eat cake ...today, hum, hum!
Your photograph of chocolate is so real, as if it rushes out of the computer and stops under my nose, hu hu!
I love the sense of awakening here... the caryatid stretching as the day begins.
ReplyDeleteJe veux le café! So pretty...
ReplyDeleteThat skirt makes me want to squeal with delight. I want!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of frothy coffee!
ReplyDeleteI love the newspapers skirt
