Hi Rebecca! Haven't talked with you in forever! How's everything?

As for me, I'm just going through your lovely site here!

Trying to catch up on a lot of my favorite blogs!

You did a great job with the macarons. If you had piped them, I'm sure they would have came out perfect! Macarons are tricky things if you have the science down or not... Took

You did a great job. As someone wrote to me recently, "If the the look is not perfect and the taste is, who cares about the look?'

I happen to think the look is fine though.

I made cookies tonight and if you could see how far from the original cookies they came out, you would be patting yourself on the back.

Congrats on trying a new recipe.

Brave gal. My husband was in Paris last weekend, and he received sms instructions to bring back a pack - he brought 3. It was my first time of seeing themin the flesh and not on the computer! They were amazing - crisp, soft and chewy...all the same. Good on you for trying

I have to congratulate you for making these. I never made them yet. I can't judge but it's appearance, I'm sure they will still be nice.

2009-11-20T05:27:37.113-08:00

That's a very good first attempt! Doesn't matter what they look like as long as they taste great, right?

2009-11-20T05:15:02.776-08:00

Well, you are a lot braver than I...these type of finicky items I have avoided so far...still very new on the journey of baking so things which are too precise scare me! I like the comment someone made about them being rustic...grin. I think they are fine too!

Oh I get it, these are different from the traditio...

2009-11-20T04:56:24.179-08:00

Oh I get it, these are different from the traditional Jewish macaroon. I almost forgot you were in France and I think I saw pics from when you had these there. they look good wither way.

2009-11-20T04:01:31.646-08:00

Nice one - they turned out pretty well considering you did not pipe them etc... They are very "rustic"!

2009-11-20T02:24:54.427-08:00

I am so impressed you made them--I love them but have not dared to try. They look like they tasted delicious!

2009-11-19T23:29:56.441-08:00

I'm glad you attempted Macarons. Actually yours turned out quite well, if you had piped them, I'm pretty sure they would have been perfectly round but they did rise very nicely!

At least you did better that I did when I attempted to make meringues recently. Not a pretty site. lol. I'll eventually try making macarons, too.
