Le Jour du Macaron

I'm very excited for Macaron Day tomorrow - we missed it last year because we were in the US, but this year I'll be in Paris. For those who have never heard of it, every March 20th, several bakeries in Paris give away free macarons (though you are encouraged to donate) in order to raise money for Autistes sans frontières (Autistics without borders).  Paris By Mouth has done up a great map with all of the participating sites in English here, so check it out and see if any will be near you!  I'm going to try to hit four different shops during my daily errands.

As a side note, apparently some places in the US are also celebrating le Jour du Macaron. For example, my aunt sent me a link to the Sofitel in Minneapolis - though unfortunately it doesn't look like they are using it to raise money for anything.  But still, who doesn't love a free macaron?
