birthday

yesterday was my birthday and i am now 27!  mike and fig decorated with pink balloons and we went out to lunch at my favorite bakery. and got a cupcake and macarons. (of course)

we plan on going out to celebrate more this weekend because i was not feeling well at all yesterday, and my birthday dinner got postponed.. but sometimes when you are 27 you are just forced to be mature, and to do things like extend your birthday into a whole week which also gives time for more birthday treats and presents. and that's ok. 

macarons

today we stopped by a french cafe in savannah called Papillote to get some macarons. we were running all over doing errands and grocery shopping(which i do not love to do) and the delicious macarons gave me the will to make it through. plus then at the grocery store, the produce man gave us samples of this grapefruit/orange mixed thing called ugly fruit, and it was very delicious and juicy. so the grocery store is not all bad..i suppose.

and i will be going back to get more rons soon. i tried lavender with apricot filling, lemon custard, white chocolate raspberry ganache, and pistachio.yum.  my other plans are to practice up on making them at home, because i'm hoping to sell some at the farmers market again this summer.
