Appearance : If it wasn’t for the head, you’d swear you were looking at unfiltered apple cider. Opaque with a hint of deep yellow gold.

As always, my food porn pics are a means to remind me what I love about food.

From a very weird article in the Wall Street Journal: Like the cupcake before it, the macaron, a French confection that resembles a pastel-colored sandwich cookie, is ready for its close-up.

Yes, yes, yes, “saison” is the French word for season. But this is not the answer I am looking for. Instead of 10th grade French classes, let’s look at the other topic of desire when some of us were sixteen years old – beer

And then I turned away, missed the doorway, and literally smacked my nose into the door frame.
