  • Sweet Saffron Powder

    One tablespoon raw sugar and a pinch of Afghan saffron. Today that was the light powder to accent a Milchreis and a baked pear half.

  • I’m back in Vienna!

Beautiful music and sounds Poetic pictures Surrealism … It pleasantly points out that, while…

    Being in life is a progression  accumulating moments,  cycles,  an ever riper age.  And at ever recurring junctures any animal may become noble.
