I hope everyone has been having an excellent week so far. Things have been busy chez moi but I am finally starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel...aka le weekend. Interesting thing happened while walking in the neighborhood earlier. I heard 3 or 4 pops, and then a black SUV sped off down the street past me. I thought it was strange but didn't really give it a second thought. It turns out that there was a shooting and that car that drove past me was the suspect! Ahhh...I feel like I've been extremely lucky this afternoon. Other than that little event, nothing too exciting happened.
I'm still in the process of deciding how I want to write on this blog. I like the idea of having themed posts, but I don't want to feel restricted in what I talk about either. Guess I can sort of set my own rules.
And so Worldly Wednesday commences...
I could probably write on and on about travel and other cultures that interest me. I have had an obsession with french macarons lately, so I will start there. If you ask some native French people or do a little bit of research, you'll discover that in the world of french macarons, it's difficult to have a conversation without bringing up the famous pâtisserie qui s'appelle Ladurée. If you've never heard of this lovely little shop, you are in for a treat. Ladurée embodies that certain je ne sais quoi that is everything french. Their products are lavish, delicate, and taste heavenly (supposedly). I have never personally had anything from this pastry house, but I have had french macarons, and considering that these little heavenly morsels are what Ladurée is famous for...let's just say that Ladurée macarons will be one of my Parisian highlights this summer. Check out their website: http://www.laduree.fr/. Get ready for cuteness overload.
These creations are definitely fit for royalty. I've been dying to try to make my own. If you'd like to do the same, here's a recipe: YUMMY! Let me know how it works out. Do you have any unique recipes? Feel free to share.
Have a great night everyone!
