So if you don't like almond essence, maybe you could try making the cream. This has ground almonds in which I don't know if you like better. Wow, fasting! I've never had the discipline or courage to do that but truly admire those who do, though I'm trying to eat a little less cake.<br />@Virginie - Merci beaucoup! C'est bien dommage que ta famille n'apprécie pas le pavot mais peut-être tu peux organiser des après-midis avec des copines pour prendre le thé et les pâtisseries ;-)<br />@Des - That's great to hear. As much as winter gets me down sometimes, I'm glad of it as well as the other three seasons and try to make the most of the things that each one brings.<br />@Hélène - J'aurais adoré partager ma brioche avec toi, tu sais. Merci énormément de ton commentaire Hélène et grosses bises.<br />@Julia - Wow, je me ses flattée d'un tel compliment venant d'une photographe si douée.

I love poppyseed things. I bought a can of poppyseed filling from an international food store in Sydney about a year ago, and I used some to make Kugelhopf, but haven't used it in anything since. The open can is in the freezer. It must have almond essence in it, though, which I don't like very much. <br /><br />I'd love to try this recipe... when my FebFast month is over and I allow myself the occasional treat again.:)<br /><br />Beautiful photos as always, Vanessa.

If you just use loose poppyseeds I can't see a way to keep them in with gravity and all that but the brioche uses poppyseed cream so they stick together and fall out in clumps. I'll have a think about it though.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-49755108529433975222011-02-06T12:45:13.083-08:002011-02-06T12:45:13.083-08:00Last winter pictures?

Hope the weather settles down in Australia.<br />@Theresa - Thanks so much for your visit and comment!<br />@Barbara - Why thanks!

@Ro...@Mina - Thanks a lot! That's nice to hear.<br />@Rosa - I'm sure you'd enjoy taking photos in Babelsberg.<br />@Lecia - I was jealous of your sunshine and blue skies but winter can look poetic too and I really enjoyed being out in the open last weekend. Take care.<br />@Sylee - When you get clearer days, I totally agree that the light and colours are truly exquisite. I'm hoping to get another chance to take advantage of that in between strong winds and rain. I remember reading about your time at the kleines Schloss and that also inspired me to return. I think it's lovely in all seasons, although maybe too crowded in summer.<br />@P.K - I'm so pleased you like the photos and can't wait to go over to your blog and find out what you've been doing recently. Hope all's well.<br />@Sasa - I guess small details are the things I'm most interested in so thanks for the compliment. A lot depends on the light; so many days have been simply dull or wet and when I look at my photos, I feel really fed up but with ones like last weekend, I don't mind winter at all and somehow find the contrasts more interesting than in summer. Hope you're feeling better and that winter isn't getting you down.<br />@Deana - You're so right about every season having its own poetry and beauty and to me, it's a necessary time even if it's sometimes hard to get through. To me there's nothing like a long winter walk on a frosty morning with some sun - pure magic. I'm sure you go on wonderful walks with your dog and I just love St. Bernards. Berlin is my kinda city, although I'd like to discover the U.S with you someday.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-69468175543953507552011-02-05T12:37:37.029-08:002011-02-05T12:37:37.029-08:00There is something about those grays and browns an...There is something about those grays and browns and blacks that feel so peaceful to me.

I always find I can be more at peace in the winter on long walks with my winter-loving dog (a St. Bernard) who is 100% happier in snow than heat.
