And no,
Merisi did not yield
to temptation!
This time.
Great angles. Great subject.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a sweet tooth!
Tempt me? You're making me pass out!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. You have more will power than I do.
ReplyDeleteWell, actually, I've got lots of "will" power; what I need is "won't" power!
I don't have a sweet tooth but I could be tempted by such perfection...
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious. How could you resist that? (How'd you get this shot, then? Did someone else you know eat it?) ;))
ReplyDeleteI think your photographs may be better than the treats themselves! Fewer calories, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI know you like the cosy cafés! I'd be glad to taste with you a good Wood Stack and a Cappuccino à la Viennoise (or a Cappuccino à l'Italienne!!) and talk about photography!
ReplyDeleteon Thursday I am flying to Vienna. looking forward to temp myslef with some Viennese goodies :D!
ReplyDeleteSwoon! Oh, how I long for a coffee that looks just like that.
ReplyDeleteTotally NOT fair Merisi. Pardon my drool.
ReplyDeleteDAVID MC MCMAHON,
ReplyDeletethank you! :-)
WILLOW,
you are kidding, aren't you? ;-)
JACOB,
I had eaten Vitello tonnato for lunch. Made it easy to wait an hour or two until I reached Demel's where rhubarb strudel is in season right now! :-)
VICKI LANE,
Diglas is big in tempting one's sweet tooth! ;-)
A BRUSH WITH COLOR,
as I said to Jacob, I had had a plate of superb Vitello tonnato for lunch and needed a good walk before anything could tempt me, not even coffee. Here's a picture of the moment I shot the image. Thankfully, my friend had ordered one of Diglas' five tasting menue, the Wood Stack was part of it. ;-)
LOUCIAO,
ReplyDeletetaking pictures may actually consume calories, at least I hope so! ;-)
PIETRO,
that would be fun!
I had neglected to tell my friend to order a Melange if she wanted an Italian cappuccino, so she got the Austrian "mit Schlag" version. She liked it, though.
LARA,
I am sure you know where to be tempted here! ;-)
PUREST GREEN,
I hope you find one at least as good as this one!
PHOTOWANNABE,
ReplyDeletea napkin, quick!
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. *smile@you*
You may not have yielded but you look like you got awfully close to that dish!!
ReplyDelete(my austrian slippers came!!
they are perfect.

It's a bit much for elevenses, but I think I could cope!
ReplyDeletedamn that looks good. congrats on the potd!
ReplyDeleteWell, you have a great deal more will power than me.
ReplyDeleteI would have gobbled the lot....
Oh, this makes me hungry. I just wish I could find something like that here, sigh! I might have to go find a cookbook.
ReplyDeleteWith your offerings you can most definitely tempt me, also with Kaiserschmarrn and Salzburger Nockerln...any time at all.
ReplyDeleteOver from David's to say congrats on the POTD mention!
ReplyDeleteWow. The pictures are so vivid I was tempted to lick the screen.
ReplyDelete;-)
Ahh, geez. Be still my heart. These are gorgeous. Seeing such yummy food makes me really sad that I was a happy a moment ago eating my box of cracker jacks. I'm on the next plane.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots and, yes, my mouth is watering! and i just had lunch! I'm now struggling not to drool on my computer screen!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
oops! meant to offer congrats for the POTD! Again! super!
ReplyDeletePerfect! Congrats on the Post of the Day Award!
