and did...
After much ado last night, I rested my nouveau eggs on the counter overnight and was rewarded this morning with lovely soft peaks. Okay, so maybe I over mixed a bit. I was a bit overzealous that it was working!
Needless to say my macaroons turned out mighty tasty, if not super gorgeous to look at, and hey, it's just a first try from a novice baker so cut me some slack!
Here are the cute little guys as they rested in the kitchen. It's not the prettiest picture, but you get the point.
I now know why everyone started coloring them, they look like little hamburgers when you just use cocoa and chocolate ganache.
In any case they are mighty tasty and there are plenty to go around.
When shall we expect you?

There are plenty to share darling, in fact, the sooner these are gone the sooner I can try to make the pistachio kind!
Hello Mrs. Amanda (aka super crafty mom-superhero)
I think it was the fact that I left the eggs out on the counter. My guess is that they were either too cold when first I tried or too fresh, seeing as I bought them only a day before using them and they were direct from a farmer. At any rate, I just ate one of the little macaroons and wow are they yummy! Worth the effort :)
Thanks your words of encouragement.

Mmmmm, these look wonderful. As does that turkey dinner down there. Thanks so much for coming by -- I've enjoyed finding a fun new blog!
Hello Thimbelina!
Thank you for visiting. I enjoyed reading about your 'cast of characters' and will certainly be following as your eldest becomes a hubby.
All the best,
