cookies n cream macarons

DSC_4772
Whenever I tell people I’m going to make macarons, they always say: “Oh you mean Macaroons; right?”

Then I have to explain, “No these are French cookies. Macarons.” Then they just nod and say, “Oh, okay.”  Kind of like when you can’t understand a toddler or someone with a really heavy accent, and you don’t want to keep asking, “What? Huh?”  So, you just let it go.

Speaking of letting it go…

A while ago, I decided to let go of all the things that ever hurt or upset me. It was really a hard thing to do… much easier said than done.  But- I highly recommend it.

Life is so much better when you just let it go.

Anyways… oooo I am getting  myself a watch. Soon. I decided that I need a watch, because I hate digging in my purse for my cell phone. Life will be much easier with a clock attached to a body part. I think I want one of those 1980′s ones that shows the moon cycles. Or a Swatch. Or, a dollar store digital. Or, maybe a rockin’ calculator watch….

I got my 1st watch once I learned how to tell time as a reward from my mom; It was a boys Snoopy watch- when he was dressed as the Red Baron. It got stolen in my class, I had taken it off to use the bathroom (hand washing) and it was gone when I came back. Jake Smiley took it. He wore it the next day, but… he said his mama got it for him. It was one 1st grade word against another. It sucked. I found the watch on Ebay a few months back, damn thing was $80.00. Oh well. Yes, I let that go, too.

Maybe I will get a different Snoopy watch.

It’s time.

Last week, when I made my sister’s wedding cake, I ended up with a lot of leftover egg yolks. I hate to throw away food, so of course I started thinking… what uses a lot of egg yolks?

This recipe.

It used 7, to be exact.

Now, I have a feeling you may [...]

whole wheat crepes with turkey,Brie and apples

crepes

This is the perfect little dish if you don’t want something heavy. If, say you overindulged at lunch, and felt a bit full for hours…and hours…

It’s light and healthy, but has that nice sinfulness with a touch of creamy Brie. I knew a girl named Bree once. It turns out, the cheese was [...]

Sorry I didn’t post yesterday…I will have to post something twice today.

I just got plain old busy. That’s all there is to say.  We all have those days….I went from dropping my hubby downtown for jury duty, to a bike ride, to the store, to preschool story time at the library, to going [...]

Key lime macarons

Okay, I know I have been promising some down home “make every week” sort of things, but… I made these and simply had to add them to this weeks’ lineup. Macarons make such pretty food models, don’t ya think?

And, macarons are so fun to make. Oh! Guess what? I had this crazy dream- [...]
