Climb every mountain; search high and low…
Like hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of people, I’m enamored with The Sound of Music. Decades ago, I was in the musical, and played the part of…..Baroness Elsa Schraeder (much better costuming than Maria). I was a little bitter that these two men had been to Trapp Villa in Austria.
Follow every byway; every path you know…
A couple of years ago, I was giddy to be on a mountain in Central Asia– there was a goat path (maybe it was sheep)–I was inspired and couldn’t hold back–I went all ‘Maria Von Trapp’ and yodeled “High on a hill…” at the top of my lungs.
I was a little bitter that my friend had danced and sang in the Sound of Music gazeboo in Austria.
Follow every rainbow; ’till you find your dream…
Last month, I climbed a mountain (actually my cousin drove up it)…and we took a baking class….at the Trapp Family Lodge–THE Trapp Family Lodge! I was as excited as piddle puppy, but I was in a professional kitchen and tried to contain myself. My cousin was just as excited, even though, she too, had been to the Villa Trapp in Austria.
-
- The tall girls at the tall work station.
-
- View from the tall girls’ work station–much better than looking at stranger bakers.
-
- Cream lovin’ cousins.
We made tarts, creampuffs, and galletes, but alas…
-
- Too many bakers, not enough pins.
-
- “Be sure to use plenty of cheese.”
-
- A rose made of cream tastes as sweet.
-
- Vanilla-infused sugar…with enough left-over to take home.
-
- The art of piping lemon curd.
-
- Savory galletes for supper.
-
- We got to take it ALL home.
no crisp apple strudel, but still…
a baking class at the Trapp Family Lodge with my cousin
–one of my favorite things.
