Greetings from Frankfurt. My plane was 45 minutes late. That's the second Lufthansa delay so far.
VIENNA BREAKFAST--A bit less than even the Continetnal Breakfast. The Vienna airport has:
VIENNESE BREAKFAST--coffee or different falvours of tea, a roll on butter and marmelade 3.50
(A roll on butter? What about butter on a roll? Just how bigt is that slab of butter and how small the roll?...The continental breakfast adds ham&cheese and orange juice--ed.)
IRISH COFFEE--The same Vienna airport place has:
CAFE CUBA MIT AMARETTO 4.90
CAFE LATINO MIT TIA MARIA 4.90
IRISH COFFEE
grosser Mocca mit Whisky 5.50
("Irish Coffee" again!--ed.)
BIERBREZEL--The airport offers this for 1.90. For those people who are too lazy to have Beer & Pretzels, and need both in one. Can kids eat this?
NONEVENT--Seen in the INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE, in a page one story about the euro getting stronger than the dollar. It was called, in quotes, a "nonevent." I Googled, and there's 3,720 "nonevent" and 28,200 "non-event." I prefer the latter. I saw the word quickly as "none vent." Is there a word for compounds that break more than one way?
