Move on from lollies in shops? Is ...SACRE BLEU!!! Move on from lollies in shops? Is she mad?<BR/>Unfortunately I came to today's post totally unprepared. I was doing fine right through the gloriously colored (and dubiously flavored) guimauve (somehow it's easy for me to believe that matcha is an acquired taste I have not yet acquired, and for practical reasons, I stick with that thought and don't feel the least bit deprived when looking at the guimauve). Even the calisson failed to hook m, though I made mental note to see if there's a recipe in my book of French cookies. Then you decided to play dirty: the geometric RASPBERRY TARTE! It has everything I hold sacred (well, maybe there's chocolate hidden in there somewhere): order, hierarchy, RASPBERRIES, flour, sugar, butter!!! And poor me, with only about 6 pounds of various chocolates from my annual chocolate sale binge stashed in various hiding places....and not a thing actually baked!!!! But back to the subject at hand. NO, not even in my extremely debilitated state, lacking pastries, ice cream or sweets of any kind--NO I DO NOT WANT YOU TO STOP SHOWING LOLLIES IN SHOPS. It's a dirty job, but SOMEONE has to do it. And it can't be done by your run-of-the-mill -Sunday-holiday-birthday dessert fan!That SOMEONE is you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-30947184083725713582007-12-06T19:09:00.000-05:002007-12-06T19:09:00.000-05:00"lollies in shops"?
