M is for Manner Schnitte

Mmmmmmmmmmm...Manner Schnitte!!!  Oh letter M, how I love you!  Not only because you are the beginning of my name (which I actually dislike), but because you are the sound that introduces the deliciousness that is Manner Schnitte.  What, some may ask, is Manner Schnitte?  Well, let me tell you.  Do you remember those wafer cookies that came in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry back in the day (they've since expanded their flavor quota)?  Manner Schnitte are exactly like those only a million times better because they're filled with a chocolate hazelnut spread.  Say what!?!  The first time I had one of these lovely pieces of heaven was in 2006 or so and I've never regretted it.  Their headquarters are located in Vienna, Austria right next to the Stephansdom and it is always, always, always packed with people because their cookies, cakes, crackers, etc are that good.  I highly recommend nibbling these tasty morsels with a nice dark cup of coffee.  I promise that you won't be disappointed.  But how do I get them? you might ponder.  World Market!  That's right; they are now available at most World Market/Cost Plus locations, but I've never seen them anywhere else.  Of course you could always order them online.  Regardless, I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and here's to an even better Sunday.  See you all again on Monday!

    I've seen these wafers in the continental section of local supermarkets here in England. The way you describe them makes me want to try one. Blog on!

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...

B is for...Black Hole Sun and Boy Who Blocked

Day two has arrived in the A-Z Blogging Challenge and we're moving on to the letter B.  Today I bring you... "Black Hole Sun" - Soundgarden This is when I fell in love with Chris Cornell.  That love has only continued to get stronger as the years have passed...through Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, and his solo work.  That gravely voice...mmmm.  I don't care that he's old enough to be my dad.  It was the 90s, it was grunge, and it was awesome.  The lyrics are sad and melancholy, but the music is beautiful.  Such a great juxtaposition! *Fun Fact :  "Black Hole Sun" won the 1995 Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" - Brand New   My all-time favorite band, Brand New, came out with "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" on their sophomore album, Deja Entendu .  The album is lyrically and musically brilliant, but this song speaks to me despite the ...

F is for...Fossil Beds

The first week of the A-Z Blogging Challenge is at an end and, congratulations, we've made it!  To end the first week of my Oregon posts, I'm taking everyone across the state to Eastern Oregon to visit the... Fossil Beds The Fossil Beds, properly named the John Day Fossil Beds , are located in the John Day Basin in Oregon.  They cover roughly 13,944 acres in the central/eastern part of the state.  Represented in the area are three separate geographical units (Sheep Rock, Painted Hills, and Clarno) and fossilized remains from the late Eocene and Miocene eras (44 millions years ago and 7 millions years ago, respectively).  Nearly 125,000 people visit the park each year for such activities as sightseeing and hiking and to experience the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center.  Roughly 2200 feet above sea-level, the climate can range from the upper 90s in the summer months to below freezing during the winter.  Typically, the climate is dry and the se...
