Un grand macaron de framboise!



A large raspberry macaron!


Macarons are a challenge to make with careful attention 
to the humidity, the age of the eggs, the balance of heat in the oven, 
the phase of the moon.


However, I cannot imagine
 how many attempts it would take 
in order to get a perfect one of this size.  
At least the failures become "family macarons" 
and no one complains!


(just kidding about the phase of the moon)

  1. Miam ... a family size strawberry macron requires a family size strawberry daiquiri to accompany it. :-).

  6. You know the Keats line, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"? Well, in the case of this yummy-looking thing of beauty, I doubt it. (Care to share?)
