Morón...
It was getting late and I decided to run to Publix grocery store for water and a few things. At the produce department, they were putting out 'tomatoes on the vine' so I had to get some. Watermelon, yeah... I'll take one. Peaches were actually picked at the right time and the price was right. Romaine lettuce was twice the price as Walmart, so I passed on that.Meat department... ground chicken was on sale. Had to get one package. Bottom round roast was less than the thin cut slices, I didn't have my banker's cellphone number to get a loan approval, so I only bought a small piece.
Tomato sauce without sugar... 4 cans and some tomato paste.
Yeah, I was there for water. 2 gallons and some assorted 2-liter bottles of flavored seltzer water. Coca-Cola 2-liter products are now $3.49. I bought gas on Friday, it was $3.39 per gallon. I'm not sure how they justify soda to be nearly double to gasoline.
I had to stop at the bakery and eye all the things I shouldn't eat.
English muffins were 'buy one, get one free' so I had to do that.
Last into the cart was the Morón.
Specifically, it's Torticas de Morón also known as Cuban shortbread cookies.
Basically, the first two ingredients are flour and sugar. Not that I needed any sugar in my diet, but they are awesome.
So, if someone calls you a moron, think of the Cuban confection... sweet.
That 'quick trip' was $75.

macaron is meringue based ... haven't had one since childhood, but I see them in photos my daughter sends me from French pâtisseries. (I can type ñ and â - alt-0241 and alt-0226, but not ó)

I cannot recall trying one, but my guess is the outer coating is hard from the sugar.
If they had key lime, I would have selected them.
