Ah, palmier's. They're like, the fakest of cookies to make. Take puff pastry, which no one makes and everyone buys, maybe rub some shit on the puff pastry if you want, cut it, and roll it, and bake it. They're probably pretty good though I guess. They show up in like, every cookie cookbook. (Don't ask me why, but I've read a lot.) Also, like, it's weird. I've gotten called a hipster and I never cared enough to argue about it (call me what you see me, it's your eyes, after all) but I can't relate to the scene you describe at all. "Cupping"? WTF is "cupping"? I think it's just cuz I wear skinny jeans and converse or vans and have big glasses and like certain select "more unknown" - (ha! a laughable assertion, tbh) bands. Idk. Don't care. Working at a bank has given me too much insight into the financial world, I guess, I've adopted too many secret "republican" tendencies. (Fiscal conservatives are a-okay by me.)
