Greek Salad
The food of gods
Both ancient and present
Even us mere mortals,
Left in an our awes

Coffee Break
There is always time for coffee
Black, au lait, or laced with toffee
Good for the soul, good for the body

Champagne and Strawberries
Sparkly wine and berries of red
A celebration for the traveller
But also for the people of homestead

Three times the charm

Straight up from the farm

Breakfast
Setup fashionably ornamental
At a breakfast intercontinental
A healthy feast most elemental

Crammed in multiple layers
Lettuce, cheese among the flavours

Poetry & Photography
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” ― Ansel Adams
Cookie Jar
Delicious and nutritious
Are the cookies in the jar
But something suspicious
Is also lurking not so far
When the jar is left unwatched
It’s almost like bewitched
A creature of a special kind
A cookie monster you will find

Finnish National Anthem
“Our land, our land, our fatherland,
Sound loud, O name of worth!
No mount that meets the heaven’s band.
No hidden vale, no wavewashed strand.
Is loved, as is our native North. Our own forefathers’ earth.
Thy blossom, in the bud laid low,
Yet ripened shall upspring.
See! From our love once more shall grow
Thy light, thy joy, thy hope, thy glow!
And clearer yet one day shall ring The song our land shall sing.”
Johan Ludvig Runeberg
Runeberg torte: In honour of the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877)
Runeberg torte is a Finnish pastry flavored with almonds and arrack or rum and it weighs about 100 grams. Raspberry jam inside a sugar ring is commonly placed on top of the tart.
The torte got its name from the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877) who, according to legend, enjoyed the torte with punsch for every breakfast. Runeberg tortes are typically eaten only in Finland and are generally available in stores from the beginning of January to Runeberg’s birthday on February 5.
Delicious!

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Orange
“An orange on the table, your dress on the rug, and you in my bed, sweet present of the present, cool of night, warmth of my life” Jacques Prevert
Orange, Three
Stop for a while
Take a seat on a bench
Have some food
For a thought
Drink some coffee
For going on
You need to stay strong
Orange is the colour
You had best to follow
