SUCCESS–IT'S ABOUT PERSPECTIVE
Speaking of noisettes. Something about that little nut awakened our inner Francophile and we've been in the kitchen working on that most temperamental of pâtisseries...les macarons. Our first batch, like so many other hapless first batches, wound up in the trash. Our second attempt was a bit more successful though footless and hopelessly cracked. Some would call that a failure but they tasted so darn yummy, we thought, "Hey, isn't that's what we're all about?" We never ever claimed to have the prettiest cupcakes. Our cupcakes look and taste like someone's mom, dad or grandma made 'em. And we like that and so, it seems, do many of you. So why not indulge you in this almost-there second batch while working on our recette. We think we know what we did wrong and hope to have a triumphant perfect batch at some point very soon. So also on our menu, scratch-made, handmade, homemade macarons!
