Vienna – Cafe Imperial and Belvedere Palace

October 19, 2019 mmm-yoso Austria, Caffeine Fix, Desserts, Travel

After getting some "comfort food" at Tofu & Chili, the Missus was back in "mission mode". She really wanted to have the "Vienna Café" experience. So, we headed off to the café at the Hotel Imperial.

Man, talk about posh.

With prices to match. The Missus wanted to try the Imperial Torte, which She had read was created here for Emperor Franz Josef I when the Imperial Hotel opened in 1873.

The Missus really enjoyed the service and the atmosphere…….

Though for me….thirty bucks for coffee, tea, and dessert is a bit on the high side. Still, we were on vacation, right? And the Missus enjoyed herself.

Plus, Imperial Café has some of the most elegant bathrooms I've ever been to…..

Imperial indeed…..

Cafe Imperial
Kaerntner Ring 16
Vienna 1010, Austria

After getting our sugar and caffeine fix; we headed off to visit the last spot the Missus had on "Her list" for the day; the Belvedere Palace.

We headed down Schwarzenbergplatz; which, like the Wikipedia page says is more of a street than a square; with the regal, Equestrian Statue of Karl Philipp, the Prince of Schwarzenberg, his mighty steed with one hoof raised, ready to lead the way.

While the drizzle had stopped; it was still quite overcast and blustery at times. Still, there's something quite regal about Vienna.

Did you know that Vienna has a Soviet War Memorial? I didn't know what this was when we walked through it on the way to the Belvedere.

So, I was a bit surprised to find out it was the Heroes' Monument of the Red Army (Heldendenkmal der Roten Armee). It has been the subject of controversy and has been vandalized several times.

Belvedere Palace was built as the summer palace for Eugene of Savoy; who in spite of being rejected for military service by the French, made his way to Austria and pledged loyalty to the Habsburgs. He became one of the most successful military officers in European History and was instrumental in defeating the Ottomans. The Lower Palace was Eugene's home and the Upper Palace, which was completed in 1723 contains one of the best collections of Austrian art and there was one particular work that the Missus wanted to see.

The upper palace looks quite grand, built in the Baroque style.

The gardens aren't shabby either…..

Nor the grand décor….I'm sure Prince Eugene had some major parties here.

But the Missus was on a mission……

And when we found Gustav Klimpt's "The Kiss", it was mission accomplished.

We wandered about a bit more; then headed out and strolled the gardens……which must be quite stunning on a sunny day.

After wandering about for a while; we decided to take our leave. It was time to head back to the apartment…..you could say we were "imperialed out".

It was time for nap!

Thanks for stopping by!

Alsace – The Four Wonders of Alsace Part 2. Riquewihr and Kaysersberg

September 21, 2019 mmm-yoso Alsace, Bakery, Cheese, Desserts, France, Markets & Grocers, Travel

Like my previous post yesterday, there's not much food in this one. But I hope you'll enjoy more of the wonderful sights of Alsace!

After leaving Ribeauvillé, we headed a short way south to the medieval town of Riquewihr.

Yet, another charming and beautiful village. During our drive time, we had a nice time chatting with Christopher. And he quickly picked up the fact that the Missus and I both enjoy food. So the first stop on that beautiful cobblestone street was this place.

Where Christopher and the really friendly young man working here plied us with cheese…….

And when we decided to buy; they made sure to give us another round of tastings to make sure we were getting what we wanted.

And what we wanted was Tomme….lots of Tomme; de Brebis (sheep), de Chevre (goat), and the Cave Aged Tomme. Man, it was good!

We'd end up having the cheese for lunch the following day back in Colmar.

Les Caves d'Affinage de Riquewihr
16 Rue du General de Gaulle
68340 Riquewihr, France

I mentioned earlier that Riquewihr is a medieval village. It was and basically still is a fortified town with ruins of the ramparts dating back to the 13th century still surrounding much of the town.

At the top of the main street is the "Dolder" (Belfry). We were told that the tower was originally built in 1291. The belfry was added in the 19th century and used to warn and inform the residents of approaching threats and groups.

There's actually a pretty little street outside the tower that runs along what is the ramparts of the town.

And here is the "Obertor" ("Tall Gate") which helped to protect the city.

You can see that there was once a drawbridge to keep intruders out. The moat area is now a wonderful grassy parklike area.

That statue of the woman riding on a horse; was, if I recall, "La Dame du Parc".

The area along the ramparts is quite photogenic and makes for a nice stroll.

We were really enjoying our time in Alsace…..

We were given some time to shop and perhaps grab some lunch in Riquewihr.

So we headed back down the main street; just taking our time…….

We weren't very hungry; so just stopped by a patisserie on Rue du Général de Gaulle, named Patisserie Chez Chloe and got our caffeine fix, a quiche (which was terrible), and some sweets for the Missus.

Patisserie Chez Chloe
24 Rue du Général de Gaulle
68340 Riquewihr, France

Well, at least the coffee perked me up! We then took to wandering some of the side streets and spent some time in the Christmas shop pictured near the top of this post; Féerie de Noël Käthe Wohlfahrt . Man, the buildings are so colorful here!

We even found a War Memorial down one of the side streets.

Riquewihr; like Ribeauvillé is on the Alsace wine trail. And just walking a block or two down a street; you'll come to a sight like this.

We then headed back up to the Obertor and met Christopher who took us outside the city for a view of the vineyards.

Speaking of wine; our next stop was a fun visit to Bott Frères Winery. We had such a great time that I pretty much forgot to take photos during the tour.

We ended up buying a case of wine and had it shipped back to San Diego. The Riesling Gran Cru was a favorite of the Missus's and also Frankie's Aunt Alle's Mom loved it as well!

While we were driving to our next stop Christopher asked us if we had heard of Kaysersberg. I said yes, and was asked what I knew about the city. I told him Nobel Prize winner Albert Schweitzer was from Kaysersberg. I'd taken quite a few Philosophy courses in college, you could say it was one of my "majors", though I really don't remember much about what I learned all these years later; I recall reading The Decay and the Restoration of Civilization and being quite affected by it. Christopher smiled and nodded; he then asked us if we had heard of Anthony Bourdain…..and then it came to me….I'd totally forgotten that he had committed suicide in Kaysersberg! You can read about the rest of the conversation at the end of this post.

We parked outside the village and strolled in.

The River Weiss runs through town, just adding to its beauty. No wonder Kaysersberg, like Eguisheim, won the Préféré des Français as favorite French Village this time 2017.

Christopher pointed out the details; like the platforms where women used to do the laundry in the river and details on the houses…..

Of course, I was just distracted by the ducks…..

The village is very charming and with Christmas around the corner at the time of our visit; there was a festive air to things…..

Even the Fontaine Constantin was ready for the holidays!

Christopher took us into the Eglise De l'Invention De La Sainte-Croix, Church of the Holy Cross.

The dramatic and impressive altarpiece dates back to the 16th century.

After our visit to the church we checked out some of the shops in the town.

First stopping at the workshop of a shop that made hand blown glass. And then next to a an amazing shop full of Cuckoo Clocks. The really sweet young lady proceeded to set all the clocks to go off while we stood and watched….talk about over stimulation! It was a wall of chaos! Hilarious…..

As we wandered the side streets it seemed that Kaysersberg was much more populous than the published number of less than 5,000!

Like the other villages; take a short stroll one or two blocks down a side street and you're out in the vineyards. In this case with a castle as a backdrop!

As we strolled thru town; Christopher asked us if we wanted to see the hotel where AB died; we instantly said "no", he seemed relieved….apparently many of his customers from the US make visiting the Chambard Hotel their primary goal when visiting Kaysersberg. I understand that Bourdain changed the way many look at travel, food, and culture……but…..

I can just imagine how this makes the residents of this beautiful village feel….most of whom had never heard of the man before his visit.

There's a magical and like I said before, almost fairy-tale like feel to visiting these villages in Alsace. You are transported light years away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. We really enjoyed having Christopher as our guide, he gave us some cookies as a gift, and as we were headed back across the River Weiss, we were discussing various dishes we'd tried or were looking to try in Alsace. Upon me mentioning Fleischschnacka, he smiled and said, "I know just the place for you…." And proceeded to call a restaurant and make reservations for us for dinner! I think that says it all……

Dreamy, fairytale like villages and warm, friendly, hospitable people. That's Alsace.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ol’ Rodeo’s Market and The Yogurt Mill- Lunch and dessert in El Cajon (Bostonia)

August 25, 2019 Cathy Desserts, Markets & Grocers, Mexican Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

Thanks for stopping by to read about food here on mmm-yoso!!! today. Kirk is enjoying the weekend and Cathy is writing.

El Cajon has some interesting, local places which have withstood the test of time. I haven't written or even photographed some of my 'little secrets' in over ten years of blogging and finally have gotten around to it.

Located at the South East corner of Broadway at Mollison, this small market is known for its meats, fresh tortillas and small kitchen, located just to the right when you walk in.
The menu is uncomplicated. Everything is fresh and prepared to order, by taking the meats straight from the sales counter over to the kitchen area. There are a few (5) tables in the center of the store (which has a small Produce area, wall of refrigerated beverages, wall of refrigerated staples and one (two sided) set of shelves).

These photos were all taken from my seat at the table. Ol' Rodeo's is small.
Soon enough, our 'Combination Plate' ($6.99) order of birria (choice of goat or beef; this is goat) was brought over (also, four freshly warmed tortillas, not pictured). This flavorful, rich, spicy stew hits all the taste points. The obligatory leftover photo; you can see bay leaf and some bones and gristle. This large bowl of stew had close to a pound of meat in it. The rice and beans here are very good in addition to the fresh corn tortillas.
We also ordered an adobada taco ($2.49), so we had something to eat while the other person was enjoying the birria. As mentioned, the meat for grilling was pulled from the meat counter (where it is $3.99/lb). The pork pieces, marinated in red chile sauce with vinegar and oregano was so fresh and flavorful. I was asked if I wanted avocado or guacamole on top. No extra charge.

Superior quality food, wonderful people working here (it's a Mom and Pop place). Known for its carne asada, which will be a separate post.

Ol' Rodeo's Meat Market 927 Broadway El Cajon 92021 (619) 401-7351

Want dessert? Go out to the parking lot…

This landmark building used to be a pizza place called "The Leaning Tower" (there were two other locations in San Diego; one is still partially standing (last photo) and the other, which anchored Clairmont Square, is gone). This family run frozen yogurt business has existed for 41 years and this location was purchased when the Leaning Tower of Pizza went out of business, around 1988.
The menu changes a bit each day and there is always one dairy free and one sugar free option, as well as two or three low fat yogurts in addition to nonfat choices. There are plenty of topping choices, but we are purists.
Tart Mango and Pomegranate Blueberry, Baby size ($3.60)- a lot of frozen yogurt to share (especially after that birria). Tart, well flavored, quality yogurt.

Yogurt Mill 935 Broadway El Cajon 92021 Open daily Mon-Thur 10-10, Fri-Sat 10-11 Sun 11-10

This is why you can walk from Ol' Rodeo to The Yogurt Mill…

Korean Bingsoo Cafe- Somi Somi and Sul & Beans

August 24, 2019 Cathy Desserts

mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog with this short post about desserts. Cathy is writing this post.

This location used to be Caffé Bene; food and desserts were offered. There are reminders of Bene on the door handles and in other places of the building. It has now been turned into two businesses which share the seating area and only offer dessert items.

To the left, the order area of Sul & Beans is the same as Bene, with Bingsoo, toasts, coffees and ice-based beverage offerings.
We tried a pomegranate mint drink ($4.65), which is served in this cute reusable cup (which has a lid you can use with a straw or drink from directly) and included clear but flavored (I think lychee) jelly strips at the bottom. Very refreshing. Both the mint and the pomegranate were distinct flavors.
Going in the front door then to the right gets you to the Somi-Somi counter, which has a fairly simple ordering system. There are only four soft serve ice creams offered each week and two of each are offered as a swirl (you know, because they are in the same machine). The taiyaki- a fresh made waffle 'ice cream cone' shaped like an open mouth fish is the primary conduit, but you can get your soft serve in a cup and have the fish waffle (with a choice of fillings) on the side (as we did). There are also various toppings available at the pick up area.
Here's one of the waffle makers and some of the fresh baked taiyaki ready for filling.

We ordered the Ube-Matcha soft serve ice cream swirl 'upside down' (in a cup) ($6.41) and chose custard as the filling (other filling choices are red beans, Nutella and taro) and asked for a macaron rusk as the topping. The matcha did have a mild tannin 'bite' and was not overwhelming. The ube was not overly ube (I like tasting the 'starchy' component); it was pleasantly sweet with a slight nutty background taste. Still, it was refreshing (and pretty). A good size serving to share. The macaron rusk was delicate and did have a good almond flavor. The waffle/taiyaki is wonderful, so fresh, lightly sweet and crunchy with a slight chew.

We will be returning to try other menu offerings and flavors.

Creamistry- Ice Cream made in front of you, using liquid Nitrogen

July 4, 2019 Cathy Desserts, Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt, What Cathy Eats!

Thanks for stopping by to read this food blog named mmm-yoso!!! Today's short post is written by Cathy.

Ice cream. A frozen dessert or snack. Countries around the world have some version, using various add ins (I did particularly like the Qwality Brand ice creams along with the falooda ice cream based beverage at Cash and Carry on Miramar Road and the Filipino ice creams and Halo-Halo at Snoice in Spring Valley. San Diego has a few modern ice cream shops as well as some older, established businesses, like Mariposa, Niederfranks and (thank you, cc, for this epic post: Oasis).

In August 2016, Bing Haus opened, featuring rolled ice cream- cream and other ingredients placed on a 'reverse griddle' (ice pan) and in about two minutes, fresh ice cream is made to your order.

A month before Bing Haus, Creamistry opened on Clairmont Mesa Boulevard. Made to order ice cream using liquid nitrogen in a mixer. We finally made a stop.

The menu is fairly uncomplicated, with suggested combinations costing less than ordering each ingredient separately.
Then again, there are quite a few possibilities, based on your particular cravings. Notice the stacked stainless steel mixing bowls in the back, far left.
The chosen ingredients are added to the mixing bowl,
liquid Nitrogen is pumped in, the resulting ice cream is scooped out and, toppings of the same mix-ins are added. This was our first visit, we were hungry. We ordered an "Elvis Presley" ($7) – banana ice cream, bananas, candied bacon and peanut butter sauce. (A plain ice cream is $6 and add ins are 50¢ each, so choosing a pre-designed flavor saves). The ice cream is filled with the ingredients and the toppings were just a delightful, fresh fanciness. The ice cream itself is smooth and rich and so very creamy. This was enough to share.

Another concept of this summertime treat. We will be going back to try more.

Créme & Sugar (Del Mar)

June 1, 2019 Cathy Desserts, Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt, What Cathy Eats!

You are reading mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Kirk is vacationing and Cathy is writing, again.

After The Mister and I finished lunch at Seasurf Fish Co, we passed this storefront two doors down.We thought we should have dessert here.
Peeking inside we noted familiar decor, consistent with other dessert/coffee places.
The hot and iced drinks menu is on the wall behind the Ordering area.
But, far more interesting choices are on the wall to the right, behind the ice cream freezers.(If you can't enlarge to read the handwritten wall menus, here is the two-sided menu you can grab at the counter). The offerings are "Epic" and pretty much 'County Fair Worthy' (there are some photos on the menu). We decided to go basic, ordering a single scoop ($3.75) of Butter Pecan ice cream. The serving is HUGE. The ice cream was good, but the flavor not as 'buttery'/salty as other versions. The pecans were chopped small. It is a quality ice cream, but a different flavor will be chosen next time.
We decided an Affogato ($5.50) over Sweet Créme ice cream would be nice. Servings elsewhere are not this large. The espresso here is excellent. The ice cream was rich and had a ribbon of condensed milk running through. Quite nice. This will be ordered again.

There are also cookies and slices of cake available. Next time.

All in all, a lot of dessert, fresh and tasty. We were stuck in traffic and got home late; neither of us was hungry at dinner time.

Kirbie has been here.

Mary’s Donuts (Lakeside) more than donuts!

December 11, 2018 Cathy Breakfast/Brunch, Desserts, Sandwiches, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Kirk is funny; he thought that after working overtime on both weekend days, that His Monday would be easy..and short. He was wrong. Cathy is writing another post.

I grew up with three bakeries within five blocks of my home in Detroit. The Mister remembers three local bakeries he passed while walking to school in the Boston suburb where he grew up. There were local owned bakeries we found in Ann Arbor, Pensacola and Norfolk…and on our visits overseas. But donut-centric shops are a Southern California phenomenon. Go ahead, type in "donut" in the search bar on the upper left of this page. Over 1000 hits on this blog alone.

So, we are back at Mary's. The original location (photo at the bottom of this post) has closed (after 50 years there) and the new location in Santee is in the middle of a strip mall. That location is within walking distance of home and I've been known to drop in at odd hours of the day for a quick snack. However the 'new' (since October 2016) second location has a bit of an expanded menu.

The donut cases are kept filled. Along the top of the back wall, you'll see prices- the one on the right, a sort of menu, is most interesting. There's a non-carb choice.Bowls are $5.99. Scrambled eggs, choice of meat (bacon, sausage or ham) and choice of cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, Provolone). This was with Cheddar and breakfast sausage and was great- tasty, large portion (three eggs) and so very fresh.
Sandwiches here are $6.99. They come with a choice of bread (bagel, croissant and as of two weeks ago, fresh baked bread), meat (ham, turkey, bacon, sausage, egg), cheese(Swiss, Cheddar, Provolone) and toppings (lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard). Avocado is an additional 85¢. This Mary's location has just begun baking breads but not daily and I am eager to come back to try a sandwich on the rye.
The donuts. Look at the top shelf. Why, that's a lot of fritters. Some of those are apple, but…
Looks like a slice of peach on those on the right (next to the bacon maple bars)Lemon and blueberry.
Raspberry!
The fritters here are one of the the most expensive donuts in the case…$1.90. (Those bacon covered maple bars are also $1.90).
You can see the layers of raspberry intertwined in this beautiful, crisp edged, perfectly fried and glazed fritter. Of course we've tried the peach; it's excellent.

If you are out this way, it's worth the stop.

Marie Callender’s (revisits)

September 3, 2018 Cathy American/New American Restaurants, Bakery, Desserts, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog since 2005. Sort of an old fashioned way of communicating about meals enjoyed with people nowadays posting photos instantly on other forms of social media. Usually there's a story involved with meals, sometimes, there isn't. Cathy is writing while Kirk is enjoying another day off.

In the 1930's, Marie Callender began a pie business, delivering to restaurants in Orange County. In 1964, she opened her own pie and coffee shop and in 1969, a full service restaurant. Today there are over 50 restaurants in the USA and Mexico and some products are sold in grocery stores. We are fortunate to have a nearby restaurant.

I posted about a birthday meal here two years ago. Comfort foods with a slice of pie for dessert.

Every meal begins with a large piece of fresh baked, still warm cornbread and butter brought to the table.
This golden bread is sweet and tender and unique. I've tried various 'copycat' recipes, but in the end, purchase the mix sold in grocery stores.
There is a "Pair and Share" special for $25 or $30. It includes an appetizer; we chose the cheesy artichoke dip-decadent and wonderful. Good thing they included a spoon, so there would be no leftovers or dirty fingers…
Two entrees are part of the P&S meal. This is the 'Traditional Frisco'- a 1/3 lb burger served on sourdough grilled with Parmesan.
This is the "Traditional French Dip" (the bread wasn't as soft as I'd like; needed to be dipped). Both came with fries and were part of a nice meal.
The meal includes two slices of pie. This is the French Apple, with a cinnamon crumble topping.
This is the German chocolate: chocolate cream, coconut, chopped pecans over a layer of chocolate on the crust.

We returned recently with a vacationing visitor. The cornbread was brought to the table.

Vegetable soup was chosen instead of an appetizer for both of our "Pair and Share" $30 meal. It was a great soup, filled with non-mushy vegetables.
A Hot Turkey Sandwich was one choice-Thanksgiving in the summer! Just right.
The other choice was a Meatloaf Dinner; again, great comfort food done well.
The mini pot pie ($11.99) was a perfect serving size and included a salad and dessert.
We had to get the slices of pie 'to go'. Double cream blueberry (vanilla custard and sour cream), coconut cream and double cream lemon (lemon custard and sour cream).

The French Oven (Scripps Ranch)

August 18, 2018 Cathy Bakery, Breakfast/Brunch, Desserts, What Cathy Eats!

Here we are, back reading mmm-yoso!!! to see what food and/or adventure Kirk or Cathy has recently had. It's Cathy's turn to write.

Earlier this year, I was in a residential neighborhood (Avenida Magnifica, a two lane street with houses on either side) and saw a Recreation Center on the left and on my right, a small mall with a dog groomer, four pump gas station, liquor store, taco shop, a hair and nails place, dental office, pizza place and a small doctors office. In the corner, between the dental office and hair salon is The French Oven.

This is the menu of what's available in the counter. There's also another menu board listing prices of pre-order whole items (tarts and quiches).  It's not large inside; two glass refrigerated cases and a glass window at eye level. The breads available are to the right. There are some salads, fruit cups and fresh juice in the open refrigerated section just below along with bottled/canned beverages. Of course there is coffee available, in many forms. A (proper) nice baguette is $3.
Sweets behind the glass window.
Ham and cheese croissant ($4.75)
Black forest ham, Gruyere and Béchamel. Wonderful flavors on a buttery croissant.  There are 'egg bites' and quiches.

The Lorraine ($6.75) includes bacon, ham, onion and Swiss. It is quite a large serving. The pastry is light and crumbly. So very fresh. There is a selection of sandwiches on baguettes, around $8.
Or, if you aren't as hungry, there is a smaller sandwich on a ficelle (Similar to a baguette but thinner; 'ficelle' means 'string' in French) ($4.95).
Prosciutto, Brie, arugula and fig spread. The combination of salty, sweet, tart/bitter with the yeasty bread is just so right.

So many sweets to choose from. The pear tart ($4.75) was excellent. There's a layer of pastry cream on the crumbly crust, then the glaze and pear and nuts and a blackberry and it's all so very, very decadent.
Pretty much every time I feel overwhelmed with choices, reverting back to an old favorite, the almond croissant ($4.25) will always be a choice.

There are more items available, especially on weekends. Tables are out in front. Closed Monday and Tuesday.

Ikea (again)

May 19, 2018 Cathy Cafeteria style, Desserts, What Cathy Eats!

Welcome back to reading mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Kirk is taking a break after quite a few long days (and weeks) of work. Cathy has a short Saturday post.

Again, I'm writing about restaurants inside of stores, a fascinating phenomenon. I have written about Ikea only three other times and find it a convenient place to stop for a quick bite as well as to meet up (everyone knows where the IKEA store is; there are just too many Starbucks locations to find a mutually agreed location).
The traditional 8 meatball plate ($4.99) comes with lingonberry sauce, vegetable of the day and a starch (in this case, macaroni and cheese- a good version, although the mashed potatoes are also quite good). There is coffee, lingonberry juice and a dessert on this tray. Priorities.
Usually, I grab the gravad lox (salmon cured with sugar, salt and dill) plate ($5.99) from the chilled area- it comes with a dill mustard sauce and some lettuce-enough for use on the salad, although the condiment area has ranch dressing available.

The dessert, a Princess cake ($1.50)-a soft cookie/solid cake piece on the bottom, topped with raspberry sauce, a solid whipped cream (still partly frozen so a sort of ice cream) wrapped in chocolate topped marzipan is just enough for a meal.

IKEA Restaurant; there's one in every store. website
