Take shortbread, for example. Usually contains three basic ingredients with the potential to add a few more for flavour or texture variations. Simple, yet extravagant.
Now add packaging. What do you wrap the world's most famous simple delicacy with?
Paper of course. Parchment paper preferably, as it is the baker's choice.
With what do you secure the package with?
Naturally, one would choose the robust string attached to the top of a new flour bag.
What about a little something or other for ornamentation or colour?
Ask your sister to gather beautiful Oregon fall leaves and send them to you. Slip one under the string.
VOILA! Parcels of love that display extravagance in its simplistic form.
