II. Macaroons
“When Francis and I went to Paris
“When Francis and I went to Paris
everybody told us you have to
go to this fancy French bakery
and try their macaroons—except they
all said it that funny French way.
Well, the first day we found the bakery,
and the macaroons were pretty, even if
they were probably full of toxic food
coloring. But, oh! The price! And they
didn’t even taste like real macaroons!
Not like those good old-fashioned
ones we have here, you know, the round
ones, with coconut? My grandmother
absolutely loved those! Well, I don’t know
what everyone was raving about.
But far be it from me to complain when
I’m in a foreign country. So. I just said,
‘Francis (because I never did like to call
him Frank, you know), there’s just
no accounting for taste!’ Funny, though...
He didn’t seem to mind. He finished
every one of those cookies.”
