I'm fortunate enough to work at an office where our lunch is often catered by sales reps.
Well, today I had a little taste of heaven in these petit fours (if that's what you'd call it) they brought in. I try not to use crappy cell phone pictures for my blog, but there was no way this little guy was going to wait till I got home to a real camera. I mean, it must be good if I felt the need to blog about it, right?*
I don't know what they've got packed in these babies, but it's cake-like as well as cookie-like and it's wonderfully dense and moist and chocolatey and I swear there has to be some kind of liqueur in them. And no, I don't mean liqour (licker). I mean liqueur (lik-cure), if you get my drift. It tastes as wonderful and fancy as that pronunciation. They might not end up being high art food, but they sure got my taste buds a-singin' arias.
The caterer used by the sale rep was "Florimontes", but I'm not sure if this came from them as well. It was on a platter dripping with a host of other sugary concoctions. I think I'm going to have to make a phone call here soon. Anyone knowing anything more about these little bite-sized pretties please leave me a comment.
*This post reminds me of a long ago writing assigment where I had to describe an everyday object in detail, but without once mentioning the item. The class then had to figure out what it was. Of course, me being me, I chose the oh-so-every-day item; a gun. [Hmmm, I bet if you wrote about that today, you'd be in the principal's office within seconds.] I think I might have to unearth that and read it again.
[Only here folks, can you get conversations about petit fours and firearms.]

Bingo!
Only you and only in America can you include firearms and petit fours in the same sentence. LOL

Rainbow cookies! Most Italian bakeries in NY have them. SO yummy. one of my faves too...Gothamist has an article about them with a recipe too (but I'd never make them when I can buy them just as easily)...cant seem to post a link here, so just google Gothamist, rainbow and cookies to find it.
Yum.
AHHHH! You are the BEST, Elle!!
Wow - they look good. I had four tiny little French macarons in a cafe yesterday with a friend - similar tastebud delight! Each one had a different flavour - lemon, hazelnut, pistacio and dark chocolate centres. It's been good to find your name on my followers list, and I've enjoyed beginning to discover your blog!
