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 feedback, and having a rip-roaring goo

B is for...Bend

Image
It's day two of the A-Z Blogging Challenge and B is our designated letter today.  Unlike last year, I've decided on a dedicated theme to guide my posts for this month's challenge and have chosen:  sites and points of interest in Oregon .  I sat down last night and filled in my list (for the most part...some of those pesky letters are tricky) with places and things that I think are awesome and must-see stops for anyone traveling through the Pacific Northwest.  So, without further ado, let's get this virtual tour started! Bend, Oregon Technically considered the central point of the state, Bend is a city that is a must for nature enthusiasts and beer connoisseurs.  Nestled in the Cascade Range, it's a vibrant city with the highest population in Central Oregon (roughly 76,000).  Surrounded by high desert and US Service Forest land, the climate is temperate and offers activities year round.  Whether you're into biking and hiking in the summer or skiing an
