August 9, 2011 (Day 134) — Macaroon We’re getting a bit more complicated tonight. Still playing it safe with the flavors, but throwing a curve ball on the preparation. A macaroon is a meringue-like cookie that has a strong almond flavor and is often made from shaved coconut. Now, the coconut isn’t always necessary, but […]
