Cats and Macaroons

One of my friends had been posting photos on Facebook of food (bread, and cakes), which got numerous, lengthy commentaries. My photos of historical monuments did not get much more than a “like.”


The other day I posted a photo of colorful macaroons, brought my family who came to dinner. These were not just any macaroons—they came from the Atelier of Jean Luc Pelé in Cannes. Two-inch round sweets that truly melted in my mouth. Fig, lemon, cassis/violet, pistachio are among the numerous flavors.

Needless to say, this photo elicited numerous comments:

"When I walk in front of this store, I close my eyes so I won’t be tempted."--Cathy


"I googled it and found the recipe.”—Jenneine

“Where can you buy these?”-–Mary

“Available at the White Apron.” –Charlie

“CIAO JANE CEST TRES BON LES MACARON SPECIALITEE BORDELAISE GROS BISOUS A BIENTOT.” Francisco

Everyone had a personal experience with macaroons or wanted one.

The next day, I posted a photo of a cute gray cat on FB. Would the cat get as many comments?

At last count, the cat had eight or nine comments compared to the 11+ for the macaroons.

Humm. . . . And what about a cat eating macaroons? If anyone is interested in sharing a macaroon with the cat, she lives at La Boutique (my favorite antique store) in Opio.

This last photo is the window at Aux Delices Antibois, between the Place de Gaulle and the market.
