Almond joy



K - so remember when I was all ambitious-like and wanted to post every week?  Hah.  So young...so naive!  But just to explain myself quickly: 3 days, 9 girls, 2 suites, and about 10 hours of sleep total.  Vegas my friends - such an amazing time but I needed a full week to even begin to recover.  Well worth it, but I'm le tired.

So now I'm back and ready to bake - assemble the minions!  To add a little spice to the blog, I decided to throw in something different - maybe some French Macarons?  First things first, macarons are not the same as macaroons which are those shredded coconut cookie-things.  Macarons are sandwiches made from two delicious, merengue-based cookies with a fun treat in between.  Note: I don't know if the whole spelling of macaron vs. macaroon holds true, but Wikipedia says so and I'm OK with that!
