Readers, friends, and blog stalkers
The alphaBITEical project is something that I have been taking very seriously. When I come up with or find new recipes I test them out before I share them on the blog. For the most part, they have all gone pretty well. I could have said that up until a few days ago when I tried out a recipe for macarons on great blog I found called Tartelette. Helene Dujardin, author of Tartelette, is a food photographer and it is because of her photographs I wanted to make these Strawberry Macarons. How delicious right?
Well when I gave them a whirl, not so delicious. This is what happened.
They are supposed to be crispy pockets of air...not this. This is a eggy, gooey pink mess.
They looked (and tasted) like festive marshmallow Easter bunnies left me not so pleasant prizes on my baking sheet. Simply put, Peep Poop.
To tell the truth, I did not have the complete recipe from Tartelette right in front of me. I copied down the steps on a notecard, and left out a few crucial details. I was in a hurry to make these, that I scribbled down the steps too fast. The next time I am copying out the recipe I will be sure to have everything down. Wish me luck to make them Maca-right!
