| Macarons from the Mad Mac stand during the Bastille Day celebration in New York City |
We were blessed with a gift of macarons from the famed Ladurée store in Paris recently. We also had the
opportunity to partake of some freshly made macarons at the Mad Mac stand during the Bastille Day celebration in New York City during this past weekend. They were simply delicious. Unlike the Ladurée macarons, these were softer in texture and they kind of melted in the mouth. We initially bought the raspberry ones and they soon ran out of them when we returned to the stand one hour later.

This was our second Bastille Day celebration attendance. All the food stands were such marvelous eye candies last year that we had to return again this year to partake of some of the offerings. All the crepes being made looked delicious but the queues were so long at the stands that we decided to forgo them.
