I have a client who takes me out to lunch once a month - approximately - and I then give her a short tarot reading when we're through eating. We've been doing this for years.
This summer she visited family in Germany and then toured several countries with her husband and their grandkids. She always brings me something when she travels, which I find very sweet and thoughtful.
This time she brought me a box of Mozart Kugeln from Salzburg, Austria.
Am very familiar with Salzburg for reasons too lengthy to describe here, so I was particularly thrilled.
Mozart Kugeln are a confection with marzipan, nougat and chocolate, all individually wrapped in foil with a picture of Mozart on it. "Kugel" means ball in English. So at home we called these "Mozart's Balls" - of course.
Anyway... long long story... this box of chocolates also contains balls with a picture of Constanze - Mozart's wife - on them. And alas - that's what you see in today's photo.
I have disposed of the ball by way of my stomach by now, which makes this photo historic - ha!
you funny buggar .. 'disposed of the ball by way of my stomach'!!!!!!! lol LOL LOL !!! great story .. love the photograph too .. i doubt it looked like that straight from the camera ?? .. altho of course i could be totally wrong ... the colours are so excellent .. so bright .. :)x
I had a friend many years ago whose family would get a lot of these types of chocolates and they were delicious. However, I don't remember ever talking about Mozart's balls.
