sweet dreams

I've seen these on so many blogs, I feel that I have to hop on the band wagon. I have never had these famous macaroons, nor have I ever seen them in real life...but the pictures make me quite happy. I wonder what would happen if I actually was able to eat one.

I mean, look how wiki describes them:

The confectionery is characterized by its smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference, and flat base. Connoisseurs prize a delicate, egg shell-like crust that yields to a moist and airy interior. The French macaron differs from other macarons in that it is filled with cream or butter like a sandwich cookie, and can be found in a wider variety of flavors that range from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to the exotic (foie gras, truffle).

yum. but i may pass on the foie gras.
