Macaron Dreams
When my husband was in business school in Philly, there was a French bakery (now closed) that made the most gorgeous, delectable macarons.

Sigh.
Sorry, momentary food-induced reverie. I'm back.
Sadly, it's hard to satisfy our love for macarons. It's not that they aren't available in Boston: Fromaggio Kitchen, Whole Foods in Dedham, and Burdick's all make delicious macarons. It's just that freshly baked macarons are usually $1.50 each. Given how many macarons we're capable of devouring in one sitting, our macaron addiction is not good for our bank account.
That's why I was particularly giddy to discover that Trader Joe's now carries macarons in its frozen food aisle. I know, I know . . . frozen macarons? I was skeptical too. But they're actually really yummy: exactly right texture-wise, and rich with the sweetness of chocolate ganache or vanilla bean. And the price of $4.99 for 6 chocolate and 6 vanilla macarons just can't be beat.

It's not Laduree quality, but at least you won't have to pay for a plane ticket to Paris. And you can pick up something for tomorrow's dinner at the same time.

Macarons are so hot right now, and I've never had one. I'm getting myself to my neighborhood TJ's tomorrow!
