THE BEST MACARON IN PARIS...THE SEARCH FOR THE BEST TASTING MACARON IN PARIS... PIERRE HERME & CHRISTOPHE ROUSSEL are the winners with ANGELINA coming in second. PARIS 2011
===
"the French Revolution was NOT caused by politics, but by a discussion on who makes the best macaron in paris." adda dada ............................................................................................................................OVEOVERHEARD: AMERICANS IN PARIS " I bought a full box of PIERRE HERME macarons for a dinner party. I could not resist. Please, I need four replacement macarons for the ones I ate this afternoon! ", said Elena Bravo to the understanding PIERRE HERME clerk.
PIERRE HERME is a new comer to the MACARON WARS of PARIS. Their macarons are extremely tasty and absolutely beautiful. They are a top contender for the FIRST PLACE along with another new macaroon pastry shop: CHRISTOPHE ROUSSEL who hails from the south of France and is making his mark with incredible unique flavors.
CHRISTOPHE ROUSSEL has a first, and it is the most outstanding new macaron. The chocolate-covered chocolate macaron! It is sure to win laurels as the MOST UNIQUE MACAROON in the PARIS MACARON WARS OF 2011!
So, are Fauchon and Laduree in the ONE STAR CATEGORY?
Bizarrely, YES
I went for another round of the Macaron Wars and found FAUCHON and LADUREE to both be wanning today of the wallop of gourmet chocolate taste. Granted both are highly desirable in many circles. Both are high end gourmet fashion houses. Both are uniquely designed with signature decor and highly prized locations. Both are so-so compared to the two new upstarts and an old competitor.
The upset is ANGELINA on the rue Rivoli across from the jardins du tullieries. It really kicked the two top well known macaron producers out of the competition! !
ANGELINA produced a macaron with a lovely color and chocolate taste that lingered delicately on one's palate.
Two top tourist contenders have falling stars ( Fauchon & Laduree ).
An old institution moves in ( ANGELINA).
Two newer macaron shops shine and sparkle Pierre HERME and Christophe ROUSSEL .
And one big producer steps up to the palate ( Eric KAISER ).
The Paris Macaroon Wars are ON!
Wow. Never did I expect the two top tourist and chi-chi Paris macaron haunts to be only ONE STAR instead of a four or five.
MCDONALD's has the worst ever, as well as some grocery store on rue Fauborg...both were spitted out and thrown away...
Life is too short for a crappy macaron
The Macaron Wars continue onward to new heights, and surprisingly, new lows.
Three weeks into the Paris Macaron Wars...over 50 macs...at 200 calories each. Oh my
I was there among other twenty photographers with their cameras and tripods. Instead of playing with tripod, I was quietly sitting and slowly drinking brought beer - to enjoy, instead of to stress myself...
The most celebrated arch in the entire park is the Delicate Arch. It can be reached after an arduous incline of approx. 2 miles by foot from the base camp parking area. Take into consideration the dry and hot desert environ to reach the arch as you climb. Upon reaching it, you will be rewarded by a most magnificent sight. Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA

This brochure would be ideal for a neighborhood bookstore to showcase their collection, upcoming events, and store qualities. The stacked books along with the refined type treatment work together to covey an image of a local, cozy bookshop.
Oh! Delicate Arch. We Proved to be more delicate than you. We finished our morning hike at Arches on the Devil’s Garden Trail – about 7 miles if you include our detour. Our plan was to do one more hike to the must-see Delicate Arch and then leave to head towards Bryce Canyon. We had already taken down camp so we assembly lined some PBJs on the dashboard, wolfed them down, and took off towards the Delicate Arch Trail Head. When we got there we saw it was Just three miles round. We decided rather than to wait out the HEAT and fully recover from the morning we would just do it and get it done.
Never in my life have I bitched and moaned so much. People seemed to be lapping us on this “moderate” trail as we stopped to rest every seven feet. The SUN was pounding down on us and it was a three miles climbing the entire time. After pushing ourselves and pushing each other we finally made it. Delicate Arch. As soon as we got there a seven year old girl proceeded to tell us about how much fun she had getting up there and how great the hike was. That was only the first of our 3 mile hike fails.

Pork Neck
- Parsley & Jerusalem Artichoke
Very delicate, yet fully flavored pork neck loin was perfectly seasoned, and served with crispy Jerusalem Artichoke shells, silky puree of the latter and parsley sauce. At this point I wondered how many ways can perfection come in.

In the serene morning light, a lovely maiden, her delicate face framed by straight, silky black hair, stands by an ancient well and banyan tree. Clad in a blue Vietnamese dress, she holds a bouquet of pink lotus flowers, exuding innocence and cheer.
On our hike to the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah there were plenty of amazing views to take in. All it took was a creative and delicate perspective to capture breathtaking images.

A nice touch, decorating our dining table on our journey through northern Queensland.
Knowing that many of the "Lander" air conditioned cars were nearing 50 years of age, and that the Sunlander might cease running within a couple of years, in 2011 we booked a trip from Brisbane to Cairns in "Queenslander class".
Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah at sunset in mid-May. There's a time of year to take sunset pictures here--mid-May isn't it, as shadows begin climbing the arch too early in the evening.

washi was a gift from mewpaperarts that I finally put to good use!
This rose may be a bit beat-up around the edges, but it's still rather lovely.
