Run-up to Halloween. Sixth day of October. Treat.
Tag: Leckerei
Treating myself and others
It’s still dark outside but this early morning treat gets me going. For years I couldn’t drink coffee without the most severe heartburn, now that I can drink it again without problems, I consider it special.
Henry gets special treats occasionally and he likes it just as much as the next cat. He wears his feelings on the cheek, so to speak.
And is it too early to talk of Easter? [Yes, it is! even if the stores think otherwise.]
These are chocolate treats and not really special in Germany. Around Easter time they are rather commonplace. What makes them unusual are their looks: they represent cockchafer beetles, heralds of spring, and not, as horrified English visitors have remarked, cockroaches.
Finally, only yesterday Nancy had asked for tasty treats for her A Photo a Week Challenge (great minds think alike! – check out her site and the contributions) and I posted this photo:
Friendly Friday: Special Treats.

Amuse bouche
as the Americans call it. Technically it is the polite form of amuse geule which is what the French call it but the Americans can’t pronounce.
This is what happens when you start to enjoy cooking during lockdown and then you happen to glance a glimpse of yourself in the mirror.
