Monday, November 16th

After class on Friday, us girls hit Big Wangs for what would be a seriously unforgettable night...

Pharyn, Monica and Vicki
Our first round at the bar: Irish Car Bombs...

Maryn and Jessi

Today we began our Petits Fours - and we started with cookies:

Below are Linzer cookies filled with an incredibly sweet jam. (I wasn't a fan).


Pink Almond Macaroons - some were filled with the jam from above and some were filled with chocolate (these immediately met the garbage can after grading. Needless to say, I wasn't a fan of these either). Per Vicki and Erica, these are huge in Japan. So are chicken feet.


Florentines. Ahhh, Florentines. A sugar and butter mixture melted with almonds then baked and coated in chocolate. Delish.


Batons Marechoux. In English that means "Maryn wasn't a fan of these either." Super light cookies dipped in chocolate.

  1. You are very funny! Like the comment that chicken feet are popular. When you find a cookie you like - freeze and bring home. Would love to taste!
