Welcome!

 Macaron baking is more than a challenge...it's an obsession!

I had a professional baker once say to me "I wouldn't try to make a French Macaron, there are certain things better off left to the French".  

Well as I examined each failed tray, I stood there staring at these finicky little cookies, seething, I'd murmur under my breath, 

"Not again, I loathe you, you uppity little French cookie, you mock 

me with your cracks and ill-shaped shells. You are going down!"

After many failed attempts followed by much success, all I can say is,

"Proud to be an American"!!!
