ReCPY: Macaron = DV (Domestic Violence)

by Moto Yamamoto

Not that I’ve ever beaten anyone up, but I think macaron-making is somewhat similar to the mentality of a wifebeater’s wife. You get so fed up with the multiple failures, from all the physical and mental abuse, and you want to leave him, but when you are about to say goodbye for good, he becomes […]

Yamahomo vs. Laduree – The Battle Continues
