So today out of nowhere I get a small square package in my mailbox. I wasn't aware of anyone sending me a package so it was definitely unexpected. I looked to see who it was from but it had no first name. I recognized the handwriting and I immediately knew that it came from my friend living in Paris. If you didn't know, I am overly obsessed with the delicate little french cookies called "Macarons". I have even attempted to cook the Macarons myself and after 4 tries I was finally able to master this small, delicate, almond based cookie. My very first one was when my friend and I went to New York City and stopped by the "Macaron Cafe" on Madison and 59th street. Ever since then I have fallen in love.
Anyways, baffled by the box I had no idea of what it could be. I took some keys and started tearing up the brown tape that was covering the small square box. When I finally tore apart the brown box i realized that there was a purple and black box with rococo designs all over it. The box was encrusted with a golden logo and name that said "Laduree". Now if you don't know, Laduree is a pastry shop known for the best Macarons in the world. It was even featured in one of the last episodes in Sex & The City. I opened up the small box in excitement! I couldn't believe that I was about to have Macarons from Laduree! But to my surprise all of the Macarons were crumbled in small pieces in the box. The raspberry was mixed in with the cassis, the coconut was all over the pistachio. It was a total mess! I guess the mailman forgot to put "Fragile" stickers al over it? Anyways, I tried a small piece of the broken Macarons, and although the delicate cookies were broken and shattered like glass, no one could take away the deliciousness of the Macarons that came from Laduree. Thank you Danay!
