Mozart-Mousse

We sang the Mozart Requiem again on Saturday. Even though I was light-headed with fever and hoarse from coughing, once the violins started the melancholic tones of the Kyrie there was nothing but the music.

The Austrian embassy had created a posthumous Mozart Pastry display for us, which it turned out was for eyes only... now, what use is a chocolate horse if you can't eat it? Unconsumed sweetness.
The cookies and apple-strudel were good though :-)

The not-to-be-eaten chocolate started me thinking about other show items. Like the book-covers for display only to fill your bookcases which you don't need if you don't read. Like Glade-Airfreshener to disguise the smell of cat pee (in our old house when we bought it). Keeping up appearances. We are so big at that, aren't we.
