Dear Italian Teenagers Riding the Rocket next to me,

You are currently on a subway. The subway is not terribly stable. May I suggest that you hold onto something else than your giggling friend for balance? Because this thing here on my lap is a box of utterly, utterly fabulous macarons. And if you accidentally sit on them, I will bite you.

No love,
Rainette


In other words, I went to Nadege's today (check out their site, it's amazing! I cannot watch Le Film without drooling) and their salted caramel macarons are pure unadulterated bliss.





...too yummy for words :D

Waving hi, found your post through network surfing. Those are excellent looking macarons. Just yum.

Hello! *waves back* They're really really good. I had one of the salted caramel ones and it was divine. And I am not easy to please when it comes to French pastries ;)

Also the place is gorgeous and you can watch all the people making macarons through a glass partition, which is fun. :D

One of the shops in my very favourite neighbourhood street in Utrecht had AMAZING macarons that they made fresh EVERY DAY. To die for.

MACARONS ARE SO, SO DELICIOUS! :D The only good thing about our school moving is that this place will be close to my place of work ;)

That looks unbelievable!

And on top of it it tastes as good as it looks! :D

Oh darn, I thought you were in Paris and then I could have gone out and bought some.

ARE YOU IN PARIS? Dude, have you been to Ladurée? Ladurée and Pierre Hermé? :D I mean, don't get me wrong, these were fabulous, but.... Ladurée and Pierre Hermé rule the macaron world, really.

I quite literally just brought some home from La Duree. I glared heavily at everyone who chanced to even slightly bump into me on the bus! :D

My only regret is that after buying two boxes as gifts I was too poor to buy anything but a little bag for myself... meaning no pretty box for me! :(

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

OH NOES! D: Yeah, I know, they're REALLY expensive, but honestly... they're just the best. I am very bitter that Ladurée has shops in Sweden and SAUDI ARABIA and none in Canada.

(I hear their Sekrits are heavily protected and you have to sign confidentiality agreements when you go work for them. I suppose that if you ever decide to quit they send you professional hit men or something. ... Or maybe I just shouldn't have watched that Bourne movie after all. :D )

*flies to Toronto to steal... a get a hug!*

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

LOL, BIG HUGS TO YOU! You need to come visit again, you know? ;) (or meet us in Paris next summer, that is also an option :D )

[seshat1.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the late reply, I have no excuse!

Oh I would love to, I will try to at some point definitely!! Ooh if you're in Paris next summer, I will definitely be there! Never a hardship... :D *massive hugs*

It's been six years since I've been in Canada, and that's far too long!

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

YES. YES IT IS. :D We have really good food here and nice people and the NDP and, and stuff! :D
