Food: Macaroons

While in Paris, I felt like I was constantly drooling over the amazing pastries and cakes (the french certainly know how to bake). The one thing I didn't get to try were macaroons. They were everywhere and yet we never got a chance to stop and buy some. The most famous stop for amazing macaroons are ones from Ladurée. Though they are crazy expensive for such little things, the packaging and detail are enough to make you want to buy them alone.

If you don't know what a macaroon is, it's basically a light, baked meringue-style biscuit with a thin flavoured filling.
I found this recipe online and was surprised to find that you don't actually need that many ingredients.
The next occasion that arises for some baked goods I am going to definitely try making macaroons. They are so elegant and cute, perfect for a homemade present.

Friday Photo: Paris

Before I went away I was really looking forward to going to Paris as I thought it would be a great photo oppertunity. However the weather was shockingly cold (so much so I could not feel my hands or feet the whole trip) and really gloomy.

So I literally took next to nothing photo wise. But I really enjoyed visiting the Louvre (though I would definitely recommend visiting the museum over two days as there is so much to see it was overwhelming). 

I would love to go back in the Summer when the whether is better and take loads of pics of the parisian restaurants and art deco architecture, speak french (after learning the language first) and pretend i'm back in the 1920's :). Au Revoir.
