Mozart's birthday
Today is Mozart's birthday. He was born 249 years ago in Salzburg, Austria. Besides music, this reminds of two things: About ten years ago we traveled through Austria and spent a day in Salzburg. It's a small, picturesque town that we really enjoyed walking around. The second is Mozartkugeln. These are chocolates, named after Mozart, that are sold in Salzburg as well as other places in Austria. Each is a layered construction: the center is marzipan, surrounded by dark nougat, then light nougat and then coated with dark or milk chocolate. Really terrific. They can be a little hard to find in the US but I've bought them here. I know, for example, that Lindt stores often sell them.
