My fingers tingled in anticipation as I unscrewed the simple jar Michael Winnike of Happy Goat Caramel gifted me at the Fancy Food show.
I squeeled as the thick, gooey caramel formed a sweet peak on the lid upon separation. It was waiting to be sensuously licked off by an adoring fan. Who was I to say no?
Rich, succulent caramel perfectly crafted to be eaten so many ways. My love affair has only begun with this sweet caramel.
At first, my fingers would only share with my tongue. Slow indulgence was a task I needed to master, for quick was I to lick it all in one swipe.
The lavender rosemary Secret Stash Salt decided to join us for the caramel lovemaking. A gorgeous swipe of caramel with my finger, then a sprinkle of lavender rosemary before both delicacies met my tongue.

I grab the last seat at the bar, and gaze upon an impressive menu and wine list. I decide to go with the chicken liver pate with pistachios, the rillettes, and the bone marrow I’ve heard so much about.
Presented before my meal is basic bread and butter, mustard, and little pickles to tickle my tongue. Also, to wet my palate… and whet my appetite… I order a glass of Albert Boxeer Pinot Blanc. Mmm vino. 
….I coax the marrow out with my knife, and pour it onto the toast. The fat juices drip down the side of the bone and laugh with delight. My first bite. The salt is PERFECT with this! It only enhances the wondrous flavor of marrow. My first experience with marrow served as such, and a glorious experience it is.

Alex, the ultimate french nutritionist (@ledretch on twitter) took me to La Coupole on my last visit to Paris. We dined in style, tasting delicious appetizers first (his was lobster with asparagus and mine salmon with blinis and creme fraiche). Following a thorough seduction of the amazing wine he picked, Alex and I could not help but share our love of foie by ordering the same main plate… that’s right- pan seared foie gras, apple, and grape. Heaven… heaven in Paris, my darlings. Look how *gorgeous* that foie looks on the plate…

You have never had a macaroon until you have tried the Laduree macaroons… they are so pillow soft and light, it’s like you’re breathing in the flavour. I inhaled every single flavour (had to make sure I wasn’t missing anything)!
