Still catching up. I'm pretty sure I slipped in some running Wednesday, just a run on local courses, but I can't remember the details now. Before that, just out shopping, I got a Choco-Fashion from Tully's Coffee, which is just a chain coffee shop. However, it was definitely good, as an old-fashion donut, which is good enough that I should start adding these to my local running map as a snack resource, though I'll skip any that require major adjustments.
Thursday, I definitely did not run, as I woke with a headache and was worried about having caught a cold. I did, however, go to Isetan, where I scored Jean-Paul Hévin's Macaron Chocolat a l'Ancienne and Pierre Hermé's Fraisier Pistache, on the grounds that these both are expected to disappear Jan. 15. I questioned the Macaron Chocolat a l'Ancienne last time. I think I managed to raise the temperature a little bit this time, and enjoyed the chocolate more. I still love the cake base and pistachio of the Fraisier Pistache, but have to admit that I probably put and kept this on the great list just to remind myself of this classic without having to make it myself. It is excellent, but I should consider shortening my list of greats, so it takes a loss and gets a question mark, while Macaron Chocolat a l'Ancienne finally gets a win in its third cake-off round.
