CHYEAAAAAHHHH look what the Cat brought home!
To construct this leaning tower of edible sensation, I had to use a dollop of peanut butter between each macaroon to stack them. Just in case you're wondering, it's "no". NO the peanut butter did NOT go well with the macaroons. In fact, it completely overpowered all the flavours these little delights had to offer. But you know what, it was delicious anyway. And it had to be done! This is one of the many sacrifices that I make for the viewing pleasure of my minions! And by "sacrifice" I mean having to eat a stack of french macaroons and dollops of peanut butter with scoops of green tea & vanilla honey ice cream on the side. ..... THANK YOU FOR READING MY BLOG SO I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO PIG OUT..... jerks.
So how did I come by macaroons here in the land of moo-moos? I was actually on my way to the bank to pay an extremely overdue credit card bill when all of a sudden, I was intercepted by the very attractive window display of a French bakery called Sandrine! *DOOM DOOM DOOM* Every product in the store is supposedly handmade including all the artisan chocolates and sorbet cakes. Honestly, chocolate to me is chocolate. I really don't care if it's made by a pair of dead-skin-cells-shedding-hands or a Kitchen Aid appliance. All I care about is the cocoa content and how much of it I can buy with the least amount of ka-ching ka-ching. YOU FEEL ME? Anyway, there were a variety of goodies for sale including macaroons and french pastries. The pricing was typical of a French bakery, I paid $1.75+tax per macaroon. The quality... well it was alright I guess. It's no Thomas Haas or Thierry or Faubourg or Baguette & Co. or Fratelli or ... ok you get my point, I'm a Vancouverian snob. (SHOUT OUT VANCOUVAH!!! ♥)
Anyway, I treated myself to some macaroons, drove back to the office, made myself a nice hot cup of tea and realized that I had forgotten to actually go into the bank and pay my bill.....
Oh food, you ARE the death of me.
