| - Shut up and take my money.
A quaint and colorful little store located on a busy street in downtown Montreal, Point G is your typical trendy bakery of modern chic and classic good baking. They have a bright display of freshly made macarons as well as prepackaged ones that are frozen in boxes. They also had a few shelves of miscellaneous jams and bottled condiments, but let's be honest. I was too busy being distracted by the assortment of macarons. Eyes on the prize, my friend.
I picked out 20 some macarons and they stuck it in an award-worthy patent-type plastic container that I credit as the sole reason for the survival of my macarons after one international flight, a weather delay, a second leg cancellation, an unexpected overnight stay in my layover at NYC, various accidental arm swinging action on my part, and an offensive bumping of luggage into my box by a hurried fellow airport passenger.
Yet somehow, 24 hours later, I lifted the macarons gingerly out of the box to find them all intact and in pristine condition. Someone give the packaging inventor a pat on the back.
Favs: Maple, pistachio, Madagascar vanilla, caramel fleur de sel.
