Do you remember biting into your FIRST macaron?
I can't honestly say I do.And it was only a year and half ago or so...
Did lights flash?
Did the earth move?
Granted I have done double duty making up for the years sans(without) macarons...
Before I ever tasted a macaron I remember seeing these cheery colored disks lined up in Angelina's windows
And thinking to myself..
eh?
They looked awfully sweeeeet to me.
That was before I knew better...
Well they are awfully sweeeet but so much more is involved..
Though not if you asked my second cousin K. who lives in Pigalle.
She used to be a oral surgeon and doesn't have much time for macarons.
Chocolat -OUI!
Macarons NON!
Isn't it interesting that macarons are exactly the same shape as the French beret!?
At least my cousin is always wearing a macaron!
Last week Brit in Norway wrote about eating her FIRST macaron...Granted it was a Norwegian macaron...
Does that count?
Since I can't remember my first macaron, I've decided to immortalize Brit's first.
Even if it was Norwegian...
*And Brit has been kind enough to let me use her photos to paint from...
I plan to work more seriously on my macaron expertise next visit to Paris...IN 20 DAYS!!!
Painting them is one thing...
But I would like to become truly discerning about the taste and texture.
I'll be reading as well as tasting and painting.
Not that macs and I aren't already joined at the hip...
Ahem...
