Just a suggestion. I make the best macaroons! Seriously. Take a look http://foodyear.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/chocolate-macaroons/ The recipe is slightly adapted from Tante Marie.

I enjoyed your notes on the experiences. <br /><br />My first time making macarons was a disaster and it pushed me to try it again immediately. Last year I had my ups and downs with macarons...suffice it to say that I still haven't figured it out because I'm not consistent. I'm with you about finding good almond flour. The almond meal I initially found at Trader Joe's lent little almond flecks on my macs too, but I also rather liked it. <br /><br />Thank you for an inspiring post...I'll be working on my macs again this year. :)Cristinahttp://www.teeniecakes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675162681281460317.post-57267800191745068282011-01-03T06:23:28.826-08:002011-01-03T06:23:28.826-08:00I've been too scared to make macarons but this...I've been too scared to make macarons but this year I'm definitely going to try it.

I made them once a while back for a Daring Bakers Challenge and I just couldn't get them right. It's damn frustrating, if you ask me. But your final batch looks great!
