mooning over macaroons

I finally bought one (well, two--but I sent one on a road trip) of those Le Pain Quotidien macaroons I've heard such amazing things about.

Sometimes people are confused about macaroons, so let's have a lightening quick lesson. This is a coconut macaroon which is not to be confused with a french macaron (I am also quite fond of those).

The coconut macaroon was quite crunchy on the outside and really coconut-y and soft on the inside.

I also bought a roll. But this is not Roll-ing with Allison, so that is all I will say about that.
