Sunday lunch: Reheated pizza.
Kaffee und Kuchen bei Meinl: Malakoff-Torte and a large mocha. I considered an Eiskaffee, but it would've made the terrace too chilly. We were fine for the first hour, but the wind began to blow from the north and we eventually had to stroll for warmth. e. got the Punschtorte (plus an amusing explanation of its manufacture from our cute Asian waitron that he was passing on from an elderly Austrian customer) and the low-cal version of my mocha (which she likened to a black cow made with diet Coke).
Before we left, I picked up two things I've been curious about since my first visit. They always have them, so I always allow myself to be distracted by the special offerings. They were the blueberry-lavender cookies and the espresso tart. I also grabbed a jar of Hagebutten-Konfitüre (rose hip jam), which I was surprised to see there (and which rather baffled our very darling but s l o w cashier.) e. got the Weichsel-Konfitüre, two cookies, and a desert for her sweetie.
Dinner: Reheated pizza. Oh, followed by the cookies and tart, accompanied by a little Banyuls.
