It's necessary for life. <br /><br />And I agree on the taste thing.

Macarons are a nice, small treat that I absolutely love. Cacao over in Cleveland Park really does an outstanding job and has a great selection of flavors (including lavender!). <br /><br />These were just a little too dense, so I need to try them again.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974235202743391870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838573936273355855.post-62591115836007432892010-11-08T13:37:50.204-05:002010-11-08T13:37:50.204-05:00Wow those look absolutely delicious!!
