I thought a lot, a lot, before coming to make such a painful decision.
My candy shop, Albumi, has to stop.
Enough macarons, red velvet, meringues, mignons, fruit tarts, truffles, vegan muffins and unconventional desserts.
For very little, I swear. But I have to!
I could have looked for 2 hands to do it for me, buy finished products, even worse packaged.
No! Everything would have lost the poetry behind the word ALMBUMI. MY project!
What then, Albumi is the egg white.
Which with sugar is used to make meringues, which we serve with coffee.
Egg white is also an indispensable base for pastry.
What in the past where was it wrapped?
In the sugar paper. Which is also a color. That of the furniture of our bar, of the library.
And our books are IN CARTA DA ZUCCHERO. But that does not mean that they are to be eaten.
But let’s get back to the point.
Who would have thought, closing the pastry shop right in August in the height of the tourist season!
I serve many bars that buy macarons, but first of all I work in the Hotel. I prepare the desserts for the bar window, those for the dessert menu at the restaurant.
I refuel Giovanna and Betty with meringues to give them at the coffee bar.
Mannaggia!
I foolishly thought I’d be able to organize myself to have enough treats and macaroons for the next few months anyway.
But I was wrong. I hadn’t come to terms with the heat, the hectic pace of the tourist season, your love for my macarons.
Above all, I did not know what it was like to live with a huge belly that makes me make even the most trivial thing very tiring!
Yes … at the end of September she will become a mother of a child.
That something has already made me understand, with her signals.
For once in my life, I, who have never been able to stay idle, so much so that I have done dozens of jobs, I have to stop.
So be it!
But I swear, I’ll be back soon!
