Is it the scrumptious crushed biscuit in melted better or it is the irresistible cream cheese that makes me melt the moment a spoon goes into my mouth. The sound of how tasty appetizing i heard by everyone around. Being a dessert fan specifically a cake fan takes me on a tour every time I get myself involved with it.

I had to capture my first Starbucks that I purchased with cash I made at a workshop for young entrepreneurs. It was called Venti Iced Coffee Frappuccino. Definitely loved it to beat the heat outdoors!

A Macaron Story

The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d'Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The term “macaron” has the same origin as that the word “macaroni” – both mean “fine dough”.

The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. Many towns throughout France have their own prized tale surrounding this delicacy. In Nancy, the granddaughter of Catherine de Medici was supposedly saved from starvation by eating Macarons. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the macaron of Chef Adam regaled Louis XIV and Marie-Therese at their wedding celebration in 1660.

Only at the beginning of the 20th century did the Macaron become a “double-decker” affair. Pierre Desfontaines, the grandson of Louis Ernest Laduree (Laduree pastry and salon de the, rue Royale in Paris) had the idea to fill them with a “chocolate panache” and to stick them together.

Since then, French Macaron cookies have been nationally acclaimed in France and remain the best-selling cookie in pastry retail stores.

Some people like their tea hot while some just enjoy it after watching the steam escape.

I was out searching for more striped preloved shirts today in my local op shop (as I do; often). I came across this beautiful wool embroidery wrapped in plastic and on the floor leaning against a table with some sad looking frames. I don’t know what made me stoop down to check it out but I’m so glad I did. For $10 I bought a priceless piece of handmade beauty.
