Coffee, Anyone?


Snowballs Fit To Eat
Let us eat snow!
After all,
it's March already
.

Wish Upon A Cake Stand?
My imagination knows
no boundaries.

Right Now,
a perfect cup
of Viennese Mélange
is all I need,
and perchance to dream ...

If you would like to dream some more,
each of the above pictures will take you
with a right click of your mouse
on a magic trip
to Vienna!
Clicking on the labels below
or the title above
will lead you even further astray.
Enjoy!

  4. I'm enjoying a nice after lunch coffee right now but alas! not a meringue or macaroon in sight.

  5. Jiksy,
    I have never tried Demel's snowballs, but I had a great aunt who would make them. The pastry dough was cut into strips and expertly woven into a ball around a soup ladle, and then immersed into hot fat in a high pot. We ate them dusted with powdered sugar. A truly heavenly confection, the fried dough melting on your tongue. Maybe I should try one at Demel's, one day, share it with a friend, maybe.

    Vicki Lane,
    come to think of it, I should really not try to relax by creating at 6pm a new post about coffee and sweets and nothing to nosh around the house! ;-)

  9. Oh, I must run to Demel to see the Easter treats.

    Do you ever do Fan Meet-n-Greets? I've been following your photo blog since before we relocated here in Vienna and continue to follow. We're only stationed here for 1 year and we leave in July. Your blog will serve as a daily dose of this place that I've fallen head over heels in love with. I'm a huge fan.

    L. D. Burgus,
    I hope you found something sweet! ;-)

  20. My father has asked to go to Vienna. Hopefully this fall I'll be sitting at Demel's with treats (and a cappuccino, of course) that I've only been dreaming about.
