French Toast Macaron


The dedicated blogger known only as Lemonpi created these breakfast-inspired French Toast Macarons in honor of a friend’s birthday. A powerhouse of decadence, these condensed sweet morning meal morsels are shamelessly rich. Taking on the flavor profiles of all your favorite breakfast foods, these French Toast Macarons are impossible to resist.
To make the shells of the macaron more like french toast, Lemonpi swapped out the usual almond meal for fine breadcrumbs, which altered the overall texture of the macaron. The shells were then topped with a piping of buttery smokey bacon custard, as well as a few pieces of maple glazed bacon. These French Toast Macarons are the perfect delicate bite for sugar-loving carnivores everywhere. Topped with a light dusting of bacon and a maple syrup glaze, these tasty bites are enough to make anyone’s jaw drop.
Terribly tempting, decadent and downright evil, these French Toast Macarons deliver all the taste of breakfast in one delicious bite.

Pozzi-Ginori bathroom designs

Designers Antonio Citterio and Sergio Brioschi have produced a collection of sleek, modern furniture under commission from luxury ceramics company, Pozzi-Ginori. The pieces achieve the elegance of modern aesthetics while avoiding the clinical, sterile effect that too many sharp angles and straight lines sometimes produce. This is accomplished through the designers’ use of weight and material. For example, the bathtubs are set in large, almost square slabs of marble. This shape gives them a comfortable sense of sturdiness while maintaining clean, simple lines; Citterio and Brioschi’s use of marble provides a welcome human texture to an otherwise angular motif.
In many ways, Citterio and Brioschi’s work is reminiscent of older aesthetics; African and colonial Spanish designs seem to influence their work. The Citterio and Brioschi collection is a refreshing departure from the almost dystopian excesses of certain modernist sensibilities.

Other features include a polished 18K white gold case and buckle, a black alligator leather strap, and the exclusivity that comes from being limited to just 120 pieces worldwide.
