More mini macaron madness

JLO returned from Switzerland tonight with a box of Luxemburgerli. Yay! So happy I thought I'd blog about it :)

This time he selected flavours so it came in a different box and not protected so I was a little concerned it was going to come back all shattered. All good though; I'll try not to finish it all in one night.

Lip smacking Thursday treat!

2013-3102

Happy new year!
It's been a fantastic and what feels like a really quick 2012, but now it's onwards to the new year.. Pardon my lateness but it's only just sunk in!

While the gyms are packed and all the salads fly off the shelves for new years resolutions, I thought I'd shake things up abit and not make a resolution so I won't have anything to break :)

Meanwhile I told myself I'd have salad for dinner every day last week and it still hasn't happened! We were so stuffed with meat in hungary where we spent NYE. It's amazing how little salad it seems they eat. The food is well priced ( ie great value) and the people are so friendly. We stayed on the Pest side of Budapest and I really did enjoy it! Great sights, good food, but company was excellent too which might have swayed it slightly.

We stayed at the Intercontinental which is located so conveniently. Close to Christmas markets, the Palace, Chain Bridge, a metro station.. Just awesome!

New years eve we spent in a square with random fireworks and really good sausages from the stalls. Worst art was they played Gangnam style both at the end of the year and the first song of the new year! *groan*


the square round the corner from the hotel



Not too much on the holiday as there are so many things in Budapest we
covered! Though I did learn that the inventor of the rubik's cube is Hungarian.. With that act of wisdom, Happy new year!
