We Now Do Sweet And Cloying


We Now Do Sweet And Cloying!
He's sweet, isn't he?
After all, he is all
sugar and spice almonds.
Rose water too - but don't tell him, please!
Saint Francis, in his younger days,
wouldn't you agree
?

Paper-Doily Origami
Clouds like handmade lace

Cutie-Pie
Merriam-Webster says
this word dates back to 1956:
Whatever happened back then?
All I know is this:
Pleeease, not this angel
in my stocking!

More Origami
paper doily clouds

Würstelstand
Hot Dog Stand
How many Wiener Würstl
do the Viennese eat in the course
of a year?

Well, the answer is ...
n o n e !
WienerViennese don't eat their own,
they snack on Frankfurters instead.
With sweet mustard or Dijon,
hold the ketchup -
the right antidote to all
that cloying sweetness above
!

  1. Too much cooking dough? More like too much cooking sherry I would guess!

  6. Sugar/almond angel boy looks delicious. Though think I;d rather have a frankfurter instead.

    Happy holidays, Merisi!

  7. Thank you all for your visit and kind comments and wishes! These days, I only manage to post, but I am looking forward to the time "zwischen den Jahren" (between the years, as the Germans call the period between Christmas and New Year's day), when I will be able to take the time and visit you all!
    Merry Christmas,
    happy holidays,
    wherever you are,
    Merisi
