Some of you might recognize what's in this picture. And if you do, you're likely a little bit excited about it. Well, me too and three! But if you don't, well, not to worry, I will not leave this mystery unsolved. These colorful gems of crispy, creamy, chew-y-ness are the-one-and-only French Macaron. And if you've never had one you seriously need to. Right now.
Lucky for you, or at least me and all the other people in Calgary, they are now available here from Macaron at the Calgary Farmers Market. It's a friend of a friend of mine that's opened the shop and I'd say she's giving Peirre Herme a real run for his money. Personally, I'm struggling with an extreme addiction to the Salty Caramel flavour. Can you say Intervention?
Head over to the Farmers Market and check them out. The various different flavors are listed on their website. Once you've tried one I can promise you'll never see that drizzled lump of gooey coconut at Tim Horton's quite the same.
Guess I'll have to make a weekend road trip to Calgary in the next while. Those look fantastic.

You won't be sorry you did. I would say they are entirely worth the trip.
