It being the weekend, and despite having many things to post up which I haven't made time for, I thought that I would backtrack a little (for very good reason, or at least I think so) and touch upon the matter of sweet things ever so quickly. This evening, after dinner, Other Half wanted to have some more of those Laduree macarons which I had no interest in at all, but I tried a bite of one and it made me think a very interesting thought- that I was eating perfume. So, I tried another bite and then another one and it was absolutely enchanting. There is no scent to the macaron and it looks very much like any other, but the beauty of it is that it reveals itself in its bouquet after tasting. A quick jog of memory made me realize that it was the rose petal flavored one, and I must say that I highly recommend it. As a matter of plain fact, I may well go and get some more very soon- for myself.
Not to have bored the reader with two posts related to macarons in such a short time, I would also offer the following images of the stash from England and France, all purchased not from the usual places (Harrods' food hall, Fauchon et cetera) but rather from the more ordinary and much more interesting aisles of the local supermarket. Eating what the real people eat is a fun (and inexpensive) way to literally get a taste of what people have.
