The art of eating

I'm hungry. 
Shelves on the local mini-supermarket store.



What I really want: Macarons!

Vicariously living out my dream: Google searching spree on MACARONs

VERY DA HUNGAAARRRY! But I'm supposed to be revising.. Or doing my dreaded IA........


"All those who have been to, lived in or simply had a layover in Paris have experienced the glory of the french macaron.
Crispy, airy cookie on the top and bottom, gooey chewy center, there is really nothing bad to be said when such confections come in flavors as exotic as violet cassis and chocolate passionfruit. "


Sigh. All this reading is making me drool. If I had one of those for every page I get through, I would ace-

Okay. Going back to the books :(

On a brighter note, I have stumbled across a new favourite word!

gas·tron·o·my
/gæˈstrɒnəmi/ [ga-stron-uh-mee]

–noun


1.the art or science of good eating.


2.a style of cooking or eating.


DUDE. right? Right?? How awesome is that? It’s g… and astronomy put together. It’s basically saying food is as g as astronomy. I mean… likening food to the magnificence of outer space? WHICH GENIUS THOUGHT OF THAT?

And it makes you sound cultured and learned.

“My friends, let us now indulge in this gastronomic affair.”


Instead of “Lets have dinner now gaiz”


-Puts you on a whole new level of sophistication.
