I'm a connoisseur.

I once learned the word connoisseur in the third grade.  It was on a spelling test that I aced.  If you asked me spell it now, I'd probably hang my head in shame.  Yes America, this is what spell-check has done to your children.

I was off yesterday and instead of working on my thesis, I played hooky and went all the way across town to pick up some of my fav macarons.  We discussed econ vocabulary too, so it wasn't all uneducational food foraging.

(Clockwise from top - Strawberry lavender, salted pistachio, and lychee guava)

Because I'm feeling inspired-ish, here's another little gem.  I had this for lunch today.

I didn't like it.  I'm usually a big supporter of TJ's frozen entrees, but this one left me perplexed and hungry because I couldn't finish it. Fail.
