-t, macarons are essentially meringues. They can have almond extract but don't need to.

Really? I was under the impression they were made with almond flour. I will have to try one some time!

I know John Hurt played a million roles, but I am stuck thinking that it feels ominous that Winston Smith has died.

Maccaroons are legit so easy to make. I love to take them to gatherings, because they're gluten-free AND kosher.

And on the other hand, macarons cost $2.50 a pop at the fancy schmancy grocery store. Stupid deliciousness.

Macarons are much harder to make than macaroons. I've not tried my hand at those, because you need specialized equipment.

Connie, are you in SLC? Trader Joe's website says they have a store in SLC and one in Cottonwood Heights, and they have macarons in the frozen section that are something like $4-5 for a box of 8 or 10 macarons.

Connie, are you in SLC?

I am in Orem, about 30 miles south, and the part of town Trader Joe's is in requires Mad Max levels of driving and parking-fu. But I'm thinking about it.

Wait.

I think I saw macarons in the freezer case of my regular grocery store.

Uh oh.
