Macaroons

My husband has been obsessed with Parisian macaroons, not sure why as he's never had one. Is it the beautiful colors or the gorgeous packaging? So I Googled it and found Laduree. Ok, I don't care what the macaroons taste like but I want to go to the shops. Below is their shop on the Champs Elysées. Just looking at the picture, I can imagine all the pastries lined up on the counter, macaroons stacked perfectly and the taste...yummy. All I know is that I NEED to go to Paris!

Fabric Heaven

I was in fabric heaven yesterday. Went downtown and hit Michael Levine's. Why did I not go sooner? Lots, and I mean LOTS of fabrics. Every time I turned around, there was something I wanted. Of course I showed great restraint and only limited myself to 20 or so fabrics. But let me just say that if I had not a budget, I would have gotten more. Needless to say I'll be going again!

Torched Peeps?!

Did you see the article by Francis Lam on Peeps Brulee? What a great idea! Not a fan of the Peeps but this definitely sounds interesting. Now I wish I had a torch.

Cooking Class at Roy's

I took a cooking class at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant. What a great idea for customers who love the food to come in and learn how to make it directly from the chef. Definitely enjoyed the experience and was told they will be holding more classes in the future including one each on sushi, vegetarian dishes and sauces.

The class I took was a three course meal which included the Lobster Potstickers, Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi and Hot Chocolate Souffle (my favorite). It also included one Hawaiian Martini. But be warned, any additional drinks are not covered in the class fee. I left feeling very full and happy.
