Better get used to it. Women are hot and cold at the best of times, a complete headf**k at the worst...

Oh, I'm used to it...

In the last 2 months at least 4 girls have done it, luckily I didn't get too attached, not like the last one.

Back when I was 13 I tried to make macaroons, and when I saw 3/4 cup of sugar, for some reason I read it as 3-4 cups of sugar, let's just say it didn't go to plan. I haven't tried making macaroons since.

 

[adamkungl]

:lol: nice cliffy. Hey at least you didn't read as 34 cups of sugar...

 

[Red Bear]

One of the first times i cooked i thought a cup of stock meant literally a shitload of the stock powder, not a tiny amount of stock dissolved in a cup of water.

Needless to say that meal sucked

Assuming you're meaning macarons as in the filled shell things...

First up, the almond meal that you buy in the shops is pretty coarse for making macaroons. Best bet is to buy the finest stuff you can, and possibly even use the a food processor or something to make it even finer. The coarse stuff will still work, but it'll look more grainy. Our almond meal is also pretty wet, so leave it out for a while to dry out.

Second, use a f**ktonne of colouring. They'll be lighter when they cook. And don't be shy with the mix - it's not a meringue so don't worry about being careful to not take the air out of it.

When they're piped, leave them sit until they aren't sticky on the top before you bake them. And when you do bake them, keep your oven on the lower end of the suggested temperature. It's better to leave them in a few minutes more to cook fully than it is to have the oven up to high and wind up with chewy brown biscuits.
