Treats for the week

Nothing like a dozen colorful macarons to make the upcoming week look pretty damn good. These babies are from bisous ciao in the Lower East Side. I'm looking forward to the blood orange with dark chocolate ganache - one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations.

I think I'll serve with a little Darjeeling or Dorian Grey for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

  5. I have an obsession with macaroons. But the best I've ever had was in Europe. Dark chocolate with chocolate ganache.
