another goal or two..

Make macarons!
That goes along with my goal to BAKE MORE in 2010. I have a really cute kitchen, and I'm hardly ever in it.... I need to be more adventurous and try new things.


they look sooo pretty.

I want to find a good beginner recipe and start experimenting.
I also need to give pies another try.
...and buns.

One other goal: to take more self portraits.



for fun.

We finished up our last Christmas gathering today, and the food was soooo good. I'm going to miss the holiday season! But my to-do list for the next few weeks looks pretty awesome, and full of lovely stuff.....
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

  7. I tried to make macarons last year as part of a Daring Bakers challenge. They were hard! I made 2 batches and neither worked but I am determined to try them again this year. So if you find a good recipe let me know!

  12. Good luck! I gave up. The first batch I made were too watery, and the second batch were so hard that I just let the cat play with them. Pretty to look at, impossible (for me) to bake! If you figure it out, let me know. I just want to hear ONE success story from an every day average baker :)
