Annnnnnd, now I want to try making macarons. I don't even have time to clean my kitchen, so who am I kidding.

THANKS mala, NOW I'VE SPENT ALL AFTERNOON READING ABOUT MACARONS INSTEAD OF WORKING.

I really wanna give this a try. Maybe on Friday I'll send Owen to DC and stay home to make macarons. And sleep.

That sounds like a perfect day!  But you better eat all of them!

I would make these and share them... but I have made macarons 6 times now and only had them turn out once. They are so tricky! It makes me so mad that there is something that I can't bake perfectly.... (except pancakes, but don't get me started on pancakes)

I've been reading this (http://bravetart.com/recipes/Macarons) and all of the related posts, include the 10 Myths of Macarons. It makes me feel like it's possible.

I'm also the person who takes on seemingly impossible baking tasks 'cause WHY NOT???

YES! I only recently discovered Bravetart (from this board actually) and I love her! I have read the entire archives. I will say the one batch that turned out was her recipe (that was batch #5; I made them again for batch #6 but I was also testing my oven temperature which is why they didn't turn out perfectly).

This just gives me more hope for not failing completely.

And I'm very much loving this Bravetart lady.
