This week I put my hand to making macaroons.  Everything I have read about macaroons says they are hard to master and they are right…….. mine were a total flop they didn’t even rise.

I did everything the recipe said but they just didn’t rise.  From what I can learn there are all sorts of reasons why they didn’t rise such as eggs not whipped enough, too heavy handed when folding in the egg whites, undercooked and so on.  I don’t think I am going to ever know what I did wrong and for now this goes down as a disaster and something I need to try again.

So this week there was no nice Sunday afternoon treat.
