I am now coveting one myself! :)<br /><br />Judi's macarons are amazing. Amazing.<br /><br />I'm so glad she loves my blog, too - though don't think she needs any tips and hints from me! Great to find another fellow Australian that shares the same obsession.<br /><br />Judi is so right though. You do get blown away by the macarons in Paris. I am still trying to lose the extra kgs from my last trip there! LOL. Nothing in Australia that I've tasted to date, compares. Even my own macarons, I'm afraid to say.<br /><br />But that's a good thing in a way. Otherwise going to Paris and enjoying the patisserie treats on offer wouldn't be special, right?Julia @Mélangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280640233347933021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-9199145910164081162010-02-10T04:44:24.353-05:002010-02-10T04:44:24.353-05:00Oh my dear Carol, you have given me a whole new re...Oh my dear Carol, you have given me a whole new reason to look forward to our trip to Paris in May even more...Behold, The Mac!
