cultivated abstemiousness ...


... when you're celebrating someone's birthday, but none of the four people present want to eat much by way of sugary indulgences ... Take two caramel macarons from McCall's (more than just a neighborhood fishmonger and butcher ...), and two small coconut macaroons (I hate coconut macaroons, normally, and these are compulsively delicious); add three sprigs of rosemary; two geranium sprigs; one lemon slice; three champagne-bottle candles - and lo!  Happy Birthday!
