124/365/Food in 55/Macaroons

We got cupcakes for the after-dad’s-memorial-service family dinner—some were even gluten-free and vegan for Alison—and when I picked them up I grabbed a bag of macaroons, which the baker comped me because she’d gotten our order wrong, and I love them so much more than cupcakes and ate almost all of them myself.

    Good for you! I hope they go well with your blood type.

    I love macaroons too. Probably my favorite sweet.

    Okay. I'm going to ask. Were they coconut-y macaroons, or meringue-ish macarons?
    And if there was ever a day you deserved to eat a whole bag of anything, it would have been the day of your dad's memorial service.

      Heavy coconut-y.

      Oh, and I love a really good macaron, too, although I didn't realize it until I was in Paris. They don't look like they'd taste good (and I've since had some that didn't). In Paris, they were sublime.

      I had to ask, because many people (perpetuated on ... shock, horror ... The Great British Bake Off) pronounce the meringuey ones as macaroon.

      Mali, have you seen the Macron/Macaron/Macaroon/Macaroni meme? (Some add Marconi, Mickey Rooney.)

    Macarons can be wonderful, but I'm a sucker for the heavier coconut macaroons. Especially if dipped in dark chocolate. (And I agree with Mali -- you deserved the treat.)
