I have a dream of opening a quaint little ice cream/pastry shop in some sleepy little village where it's always sunny and everyone's friendly. It's one of those dreams that is just that - a dream. Something you conjur up to escape your daily routine once in a while. I have no special talent for baking and no real desire of going through the whole process of opening my own business (yet), but I like to dream of that life nonetheless.
One thing that brought this whole fantasy about are macarons. They are my happy food.
I google-imaged "macarons". How amazing are these little treats?! I mean, I've been sold on them since the first time I tried one a couple of years ago. But just seeing all those colourful images! Well, it's a thing of beauty.
Someday, I will learn to make delicious and varied macarons. My real goal may not be as lofty as opening a little sweets shop, but I'm still very excited about it!
