if they're grown in a natural environment they taste like death. I put those in a peanut butter sandwich and eat it as quickly as possible.
i'm speaking hypothetically here.
MoFiya: yes, psilocybin mushrooms.

In order to get back to topic. Here's what I had today.
Pasta with lobster. The fond made out of the carcass could have been more intense, however the lobster itself was super delicate.
First try making macarons. Not bad, yet to be improved. Will add some colouring to make it look more kitsch :>
The natural coloured are filled with an awesome ganache made out of white chocolate, vanilla and citrus. The dark ones are filled with a valrhona ganache (68%).

Did you start with eggs that had been at room temperature for at least 24 hours? I find that helps me get a more consistent shape. I don't know why!Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.

would love to try one of the Michelin restaurants during my time in paris on my birthday. 2 or 3 star depending on budget and availability.
dining alone. budget of maybe 150-200euros. and do these usually come with set menus? any recommendations? you probably can't go wrong with 2-3 starred but yea would want real authentic french cuisine.

yeah set menus for sure, depending on what's good etc during the season. if you don't mind eating without accompanying wine menu then 200eur should be good. I'd probably settle for 2 stars and eat at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. but that's because I don't really like the super posh style of the french 3 star ones...

Uh, Paris is actually really hard. I heard the 3-michelin-star restaurants are often more glamour than quality. Also, as michelin is french-based, they still rate restaurants with 3 stars that still cook like it's the 80s. Also, the atmosphere, service and interior is often very stiff.
Not that I have anything to recommend - probably ask some of the Paris based members. What I am trying to say is: going to a 2 or 3 rated restaurant in Paris is not a guarantee for gourmet cuisine as you (or more excatly: I) would expect.
@theetruscan - thanks for the compliment. I didn't do anything special with the eggs at all. However, next time I will bake longer at lower temperature as the dough is too soft and not crispy at all.

The whole discussion about eating animals and especially Rider's link to the movie 'Earthlings' have been on my mind for the past few days. So I decided to to stop buying meat or meat products from the supermarket, and instead try to eat better meat less often, purchased only from the local butcher. Any thoughts on that? Does the stereotype of butcher=better quality meat even stand in countries like England?ENDYMA / Archival fashion & Consignment
