Unlike the almond coconut type macarOOns that most people may be familiar with, these French almond confections are more diverse and stylish with a variety of flavors and fillings and colors - perfect for a chic art gallery reception that attracts celebrities like Mr. Brooks and you, of course!

Hmmm... this gives me some ideas. <br /><br />Kristen, those are macarons on the cover of Pasadena magazine, next to our model, Tommy. I only learned about the French macaron (one "o") from a local blogger last year - different than the coconut macaroon. Check out the fabulous Shell Sherree's post about a French macaron shop opening in NYC: http://www.shellsherree.com/2011/08/francophile-friday-ooh-la-laduree.html/<br /><br />I hear Albert Brooks plays the villain in Drive, quite a change of role for him. Keeping with the French theme, here's a short clip from Broadcast News: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA84VmI3fr8<br /><br />Chieftess, you got that right. <br /><br />Liz, any bakeries in the Bay Area making macarons?

I suppose it is much more chic to use the French version with just one "o" as Susan has in her fine little tale! In any case, she took the last one on the plate and then it offered it to Albert Brooks and his wife after she picked it up! HA!

Truth is I had to google Mr. Brooks and as I remember his face had no clue of his credentials. He is co-starring in the movie, Drive, which is getting very fantastic reviews at the moment. <br />Cheers to macarons (like coconut cakes or something and spelled with only one "o", oh my god I am hopeless) and Octobers sunlight all day long.<br /><br />Happy Sunshine to Miss Louise, Tommy Lee, Ramona and Frita. xxoo.<br /><br />Love,<br />Kristenkkshaw47https://www.blogger.com/profile/13601375424809620550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-27383843348966603432011-10-10T06:40:59.380-07:002011-10-10T06:40:59.380-07:00Louise would make such a good celebri-dog!!Louise would make such a good celebri-dog!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-22493044696344898332011-10-09T21:57:30.792-07:002011-10-09T21:57:30.792-07:00Shell, I love the Adopt Louise t-shirt idea.

That is just as funny as Albert Brooks himself! Too bad you didn't have Louise with you as I am sure she would have been just as well-behaved as when she attended the Poetry Reading. She would be on her her way to becoming an all-around cultured and sophisticated gal-about-town! Surely someone like Albert Brooks would be interested in that!
