Mozartkugeln and Alzheimer's

[la_rainette]

Husband brought Mozartkugeln from Berlin (chocolate stuff - australienne, do you hear that? CHOCOLATE STUFF! Not quite German, actually, Austrian, rather, but really, really tasty).

Well, not quite from Berlin, either. The logic of air travel had him fly from Berlin to Toronto via Budapest (no, don't look at a map, it's geographically all wrong), and he found the Mozartkuglen in Budapest, at the duty free. (Lovely duty-free plastic bag, with "Duty free Budapest" written on one side, and an ENORMOUS salami pictured on the other.)

Yesterday evening, before going to bed, I put what was left of them in a safe place, so that the kids could not eat all of them in the morning and wipe their chocolatty fingers on the couch, you know, in case they got up before we did...

This morning, Husband asked me where they were.

And for the life of me, I cannot remember where I put them. I have absolutely no idea. I remember thinking I should hide them, and then my mind is a blank.

Any suggestion will be very welcome. Am nonplussed, myself.

ETA: Well, the girls found them. They suddenly resurfaced in (or rather on) Tadpole's hands and in (most definitely in) Froglet's mouth. We still have a few left... Mozartkugel, anyone? They're were good, and Selkie, they have a marzipan heart...

Before you do *anything* else, check the stove. My granny had an unfortunate *incident* involving hiding Mars bars in the oven and hten forgetting about them till it was too late and the thing had been switched on long enough to produce an unholy sticky mess and by the by, no more edible choccies!

PS It always struck me as a bloody stupid place to hide anything and I'm sure you're more sensible, but just in case you had a brainfart, go check :)

Oh, I have brainfarts, too. You know: moments when your brain is on hold and your hands do whatever. I don't think they were in the voen, though, because I checked...

I do tend to keep track of where things end up, mainly because Forest is so useless at it, and if I leave it up to him, things just vanish never to be seen again - I just tell him to tell *me* where he puts something, and then I'll remember it for him, and it'll save us hours of hunting for stuff that shouldn't have been out of place in the first place. Not that I'm amazingly tidy or organised, just I'm lazy. If you always put things in a certain place, you don't have to use up all that extra energy searching ::giggle::
So did the chocolates turn up yet?

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

They did, actually: the girls found them for us , so I still do not know what my sekrit hiding place was...

I tend to be... not too bad, considering, with where I put my stuff in general, but once in a while I have this "ooo, let's HIDE IT!" impulse and then I hide things so well that they are never seen again. Mosty memorable instance: a plane ticket. I had to take the bus back from France to Birmingham, because I couldn't really afford another plane ticket, and I had taken the cheapest one the begin with, and they would not issue me another (bastards)

Well, all I'll say is that I might be a superhero with the not-so-useful power of ferreting out not evil, but chocolate, wherever it mey be and EATING IT ALL UP. I might.

In other news, check the spice cupboard.

:D Come on over, there are still a few left.

[terrylj.livejournal.com]

You ate it. Don't deny it. :)

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

Nope. But I am eating them now :D

Yummmmmm...Mozartkugeln. Oddly, I was reading about the Salzburg Festival this afternoon, and though the book was disparaging about the commercialisation of Mozart, you really can't go past the chocolates.

I can't really help with the disappearing chocs - in my case edibles to hide always go into the top drawer of my desk or the top drawer of my bedside table. Do you have a usual hiding place? Under the cushions of the couch? In the crockery cupboard rather than the pantry? (That's where I found my missing cereal on Sunday.) Good luck finding them!

:D They're really good! No, I have odd hiding places, and they usually have dedicated things that I hide in them. The Mozartkuglen had no defined place...
