macaron noir.






















The talented yet thoughtful Klary thankfully responded to my perpetual lack of macarons by providing us with a healthy sample from Pâtisserie Tout. They weren't even leftover from her Macaron Smackdown a few days earlier, they were brand-new (at least that's what she told us)...that's the kind of gal she is.

And, I enjoyed the holy heck out of them, frankly. My favorite was the cassis (+ maybe white chocolate?), and the pistachio was also very pleasant. Mara liked the strawberry, and I thought the chocolate one was just kind of good.

Mostly, though, it felt like a certain kind of completion to finally have a real macaron in front of me and not have to have gone to France to do it. Thanks!
