Sometimes bad stuff happens to good people...
You go to La Maison du Chocolat for a lovely box of macarons. You carry them carefully out of the store, making sure nothing touches them. You place them under your seat on the subway, so no one steps on them. You run off the train at your stop and completely forget to grab your bag of macarons!
Quelle tragedie non?
In Paris you know better than to think these puppies will get home safely in this little cello bag. You insist on a boite/box bien sur svp.
Back in New York, a ready pre-packed box is not such a good idea. In fact you always want to pick out your macarons fraiche. Heavens! How long they've been sleeping in that box?
An Older French Girl at a book party tells you excitedly there is a new "French" patisserie on east 69th street 30 East 68th st., and she thinks they may have macarons! YIKES
Naturally you dash over camera in hand...
NO MACARONS!
"We might have them in a few weeks," they say...
While hanging your exhibit at The James Beard House last Friday, you shoot the other guy's paintings and plum forgot to shoot your own...
You do not forget to shoot the trays and trays of lemon macarons waiting nearby for the evenings' dinner. A chef comes in and asks if he can "borrow" your ruler.You ask,
"Are you the pastry chef?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
Only a pastry chef ever asks for a ruler.
He lets you taste a lid or two...miam
At the Beard Awards Monday night, there is not a single macaron to be seen! Pretty tragique if you ask me. HMPH
While browsing in Barnes & Nobles you start to hyperventilate
You do go back to La Maison for another box of macarons-you're going to shoot them this week-end. All for researche bien sur. Have YOU had any macaron tragedies? Do tell!

No such luck.

c'est la vie
