Pastry Porn
My No. 1 goal for my weekend in Paris was to hit up Ladurée, an amazing pastry shop introduced to me by my good friend Sarumph on my last trip here. This is where I fell irrevocably in love with French macarons, a fancy meringue cookie sandwich with ganache in between. If you're coming to The Wedding, you have Ladurée to thank for the fact that we will have macarons in lieu of a cake.
If you come to Paris I will take you here toute de suite.

| After considering the Saint-Honoré Rose-Framboise so I could see what "raspberry stew" was like, I instead went with the Divin. |
 |
| Almost too pretty to eat. Almost. |
 |
| St. Nick and Mrs. Clause each got the macarons. The flavors represented above are chocolate, pistachio, coconut, lemon and coffee. |

| OMD this was good. |

I may have to resort to nefarious money making schemes just so that I can visit this shrine of decadent deliciousness! OMG that confection looks like the Gods paid a visit to Lauree to whip up a bit of their divinity in edible form.
I feel like I gained 50 pounds just looking at the pictures. You ain't kidding--pastry porn indeed!
laduree is my happy place, I like to take mental vacations there when I'm stressed out.
