Oh la la ~ Macaroons

"A worldwide symbol of dainty indulgence, the macaroon seduces tastebuds and practically invites itself onto our plates"

Jose Marechal

Classic Macaroons ~ how delicious!

Recipe

An Artistic Array

It has been said that like a frothy Chanel frock, a macaroon is a work of art.

In every respect this almond based sweet is a metaphor for the esteemed principles of couture: they’re gorgeous, delicious and exclusive, which explains why the macaroon is perceived as the ultimate style icon of the culinary world.

The Band Perry - If I Die Young

I absolutely love this band and this song ~ fantastic ~ just have to buy this Album!

Lyrics

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

oh oh oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother

She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I’ve had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I’ve had just enough time

And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I’ve never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I’m a goner

And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

oh oh

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket

Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
