A Brief History
(from http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Cakes/BlackForestCake.htm)


Called Schwarzwälderkirschtorte in German, which means Black Forest Cherry Torte (torte is the German word for cake). It is a chocolate layer cake with Kirsch, whipped cream, sour cherries and chocolate curls.

16th Century - The origin of this cake in unknown, but historians believes it originated in the late 16th century in the Black Forest Region (Der Schwarzwald in German) located in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The name, Schwarzwald, evokes darkness and mystery coming from the romantic German concept of Waldeinsamkeit or forest-loneliness.

This region is known for its sour cherries and Kirsch or Kirschwasser (a double distilled, clear cherry brandy made from the sour Morello cherry). Combine these cherries with the German’s love of chocolate, and you have this wonderful chocolate confection with cream and cherries.


tree

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day;
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Joyce Kilmer

Live life to the fullest

shadows

Stay by Cueshe

I believe
We shouldnt let the moment pass us by
Life's too short
We shouldnt wait for the water to run dry

Think about it
Cause we only have one shot at destiny
All im asking
Could it possibly be you and me?

So if you'd still go, i'll understand
Would you give me something just to hold on to?
And if you'll stay, i'll hold your hand
Cause im truly, madly, crazy in love with you

Time has come
For us to go our separate ways
God forbid
But my mind is going crazy today

I feel so cold
Feel so numb
Im having nightmares but im awake
Help me lord
Fight this loneliness
Take this pain away

So if you'd still go, i'll understand
Would you give me something just to hold on to?
And if you'll stay, i'll hold your hand
Cause im truly, madly, crazy in love with you

Now that you're gone, im all alone
Im still hoping that you would come back home
Dont care how long, but im willing to wait
Cause im truly, madly, crazy in love with you


reserved
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

pleasure
And there ain't no current
in this river we can't ride

Serenity
God, grant me the...
SERENITY to accept the things
I cannot change...
COURAGE to change the things
I can...
and WISDOM to know the difference.

lost focus
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for,
Is the one thing you can't see

Reflection
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart...

My Twisted Sunshine
You made me believe in love
And not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful
Twisted Sunshine...

Innocence Wild
who needs to know
when it all comes and when it all goes
Who needs to know just when
Fate will take you there

It's a charmed life
Innocence wild
Crayola skies for a thousand miles
It's a good life in the happily ever after
Last page of a very last chapter
It's the story of a charmed life

Pink Works
How pretty...
How interesting...
How it works?
Nobody knows for sure...

Addicting Presence
You're so addicting...
You make me crave for more...
