@ restaurantgroupie- Hope your macaron sessions are going well. These things are so hard to get right, I think it’s all about the oven.

[...] On one of the hottest days ever recorded in November I gave the bacon Macaron a go. As Minh, Squishies and Howard looked on with sweat dripping down their face I felt a little pressured. Standing there in the heat are my 3 photographers/taste testers, if I screw this up I know I’d be hearing about my failures at all our future EST outings. Determined not to embarrass myself, I used the recipe that has so far worked for me each time, Black sesame and green tea macaron. [...]

@purpaboo- Ooh Bernaise sauce sounds good. i’ve been craving a nice juicy steak.

@alice- I’m giving lemon curd a go this weekend, possibly try passionfruit curd as well while i’m at it.

@Phuoc- I still laugh each time I see Howard’s macaron. You should definitely give macaron making a go, send us a picture of your result =)

OMG I LOL-ed at Howard’s macarons.. Then I had to look around to see if anyone was around so that they didn’t think I was some kind of weird nutjob.. The macarons look fantastic! I’m going to give it a shot soon.. Hopefully this warm Sydney weather shouldn’t affect the final product… *fingers crossed*

They look great!
lemon curd & pate sucree pastry for sweets and hollandaise sauce for savory, will go some way to using up your egg yolks.

@billy- Good Luck with your macaron, e-mail me if you have any questions. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

@Yas- No these were from a fortnight ago.. haha I know, I’m obsessed. The feet look like it’s running away from the shell lol.

@Karen- Thanks Karen. ooh creme patissiere, never made that before, i’ll give it ago.

@Ellie- Hmmm I’m looking to make a couple more batches before the year ends =D I’ll see how long my lucky streak goes on for. Re howard’s bunion macaron, absolutely no idea.

@Belle- thanks belle, i’m no where as good as Trissa. Every time I see the picture of his macaron, it still makes me laugh.

@Helen- yay! i’ll make mayonnaise.. you can never have too much mayo.

@chocolatesuze- ok ok you guys twisted my arm, i’ll make lemon curd too.

@Y- ROFL skidmarks & consistent poos.. Y, you’re one weird being =p

@Simon- thanks simon =D I should ask howard to give macaron making another go

@Trissa- I think it’s obsessive minds think alike. I love the christmas themes you have going on.

@Jacq- Thanks Jacq =D LOL Howard was proud that you found one that didn’t look too bad hahaha

@Tina- Wow I’d give anything for unused egg whites =p We should do a trade.

@Helen- I see where you’re going, and I like it =D

@Mr.Taste- I love the egg yolk for fried rice idea.. can’t believe I haven’t though of that. Thanks for the tip.

@Dungies- I gaurantee you’ll become obsessed, it’s part of the fun =p

@Betty- LOL oh Betty, if only you knew how many times I have failed before I finally got it right. Like you, I hated wasting ingredients, what you can do with wasted macarons is pulse it with some biscuits to make the base for a cake.

@Steph- LOL Steph, I think you’re just a perfectionist =D

@Mrs Ergul- It’s fun and exciting when it comes out right =)
