Merisi~ I'm not a coffee drinker per se but I think I'd like a Viennese Iced Coffee...yum! The Operetta Rose has such an unusual coloring. Were they developed in Vienna? Thanks for stopping by my site today and yes, I built a second site for my Master's program requirements but hope to maintain it all through the school year. Happy Thursday ;-)

OMG!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a divine picture!
That flower knocked my socks right off and sent them across the room and OUT THE WINDOW!
LOVE love love your photos!
Read my lips
I have to say the ice cream sounds better alone than with coffee.
ReplyDeleteALLIE:
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! :-)
I am not quite sure if "real" Viennese agree with my recipe (I actually have it from Café Greco in Rome *g*), but it's the version I like best, if I ever drink it. ;-)
PARIS BREAKFASTS:
I hope nobody got hit by that force! ;-)
CHARLES GRAMLICH:
Each its own: A bowl of good vanilla ice cream for you, espresso for me? ;-)
Egg cream...soda water with a squirt of hersheys chocolate...no egg, no cream...leave it to a New Yorker, lol! And I looked at the lovely rose and the theme Summer in the City and instantly "hot town Summer in the City the back of my neck's getting dirty and gritty" began running in my brain lol...it'll be there the rest of the night!

ReplyDeleteMerisi! Do you own that first rose?!!!! Where is it? I have to have one!
ReplyDeleteSandi McBride:
ReplyDeleteOopsie, I hope you did not wake up too exhausted from running that earworm all night! ;-)))
John:
You are welcome!
I always enjoy returning to yours. ;-)
lorenzothellama:
Oh, the waiters in Vienna,
The temptatations one encounters here constantly, not only at which sidewalk cafes to stop, which drink to select, no, even which will be my waiter of the day! Exhausting, me dear, exhausting! :-)
quinttarantino:
Yes, that Soda Citron is a real thirst quencher. At first it puckers up your mouth, and then it makes you crave for another sip from that tall cool glass. I encountered that kind of strength (the Viennese put a the juice of a whole lemon in one glass, if not more) for the first time when I moved here. They seem to like it all over Austria. When those glasses show up in the outdoors cafes, you know that summer's here to stay!
Abraham Lincoln:
Thank you! :-)
Snap Catch:
Thank you, I will!
For The People:
I only own the image,
the rose blooms in the city's Rose Garden.
P.S.:
(I love the theme of your blog, Mississippi nature images!)
The speckled rose fascinates me...I don't believe I've ever seen one before.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that operetta rose is calling me!
ReplyDeleteI would love an iced coffee right now!
