Italian style wedding soup is good IF it’s done right. I’ve found most aren’t, sadly. Most need loads of salt to make them ok for me. Juniper is definitely one of those aromas or flavors that’s acquired. It’s a conifer so it’s like walking in a forest, but can be perceived as stinky to many. I am in the essential oil industry & that was one that took me a while to appreciate. Your faces with the macarons 😂😂. You just kept saying nope, no, nope 😂. Thanks for taking one for the team.
