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!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

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...

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Give to Readers Who Have Never Read Holocaust Literature

Image
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and it's a way to share what you're loving in list form. The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover! This week's theme is:  Books I'd Give to Readers Who Have Never Read Holocaust Literature .  Sorry it's going to be a heavy topic, but there are so many wonderful HL books and authors out there who NEED to be read!  Some will be works of fiction, others will be survivor literature/testimony.  All are necessary! Here goes... Poems of Paul Celan by Paul Celan or Paul Celan: Poet, Survivor, Jew by John Felstiner A Holocaust survivor, Celan turned to poetry in an attempt to cope with the atrocities he faced while imprisoned.  He is known as THE writer of the Holocaust and he's brilliant; and the poems are NOT pretty.  The first is a collection of his poetry.  The second is a biography that is fantastic. This Way for the Gas,...
