Whoa look macarons!

Whoa!!!!

Yes i know....silly... but that was my experession when I randomly discovered this cutsey bakery. It was my first time experiencing macarons and they were delicious. vman and I got a six pack and the flavors were rose, lavender, nutella, passion fruit, raspberry with chocolate ganache, salt caramel. They were tinier than what I was expecting, but the flavors got me so excited that I went straight to having the deliciousness..

My favorites were lavender and salt caramel and vman liked the salt caramel and nutella the most. I would definitely love to try the real deal in France. But this experience made me realize that I need to tap into the bakery scene and get my sweet tooth out for grazing :P

I lovee the pic of the self portrait of this really great artist. Can you guess who the artist is??

Here are pics of the beauties that we munched on:

Reboot...

So Virginia experience went by in a haze. Work experience was good in the sense that I got to understand different personalities including mine. I fell in love with my family in a new way (good way, a way that should have been from the start). It was nice getting to know an old friend and meeting new ones and having so many nice experiences with food.

I was quite apprehensive restarting a new life again when I got back, but He has been merciful to me and things are flowing well so far. I have had a lot of free time after Virginia which allowed me to reconnect with myself in new levels and be happy with who I am.

I am finally ready to restart where I left of this blog and write about my passion for food.

Of course thanks to my two fans for encouraging me to restart... love ya!

Flowering tea and me

After being under my folks loving care and later then realizing the reality of this cruel and tough world i was reduced to pieces. Confidence, inner peace, happiness, self .... disappeared. Who was i? i merely a ate and breathed the air organically unable to connect to humanity unable to feel love, relationship, camaraderie, belonging. I held on to pain, bitterness, anger, sadness to hold on to my last grip of reality.... did it really work? did i loose myself even more? who am i? who was i?

Getting my bubble broken in the cruelest possible way was the best thing that happened to me. Cant say if I'm wiser or if i will make smart decisions in the future, but I've realized the value of wanting to live and wanting to survive. I want to hold on to the few people who can still feel my existence. I want to hold on to people who can see me. Maybe then i can be strong enough to love and belong. Become someone one can truly call home.

The move to VA was so sudden and unexpected. Maybe i have another chance to find myself again, maybe i can love a part of me and survive. This flowering tea is the first thing i got. I hope i can bloom into someone one day from nothingness.
