Macaroons

I had never tasted a macaroon until I went to Melbourne. I was always put off by the rather vivid colouring, I did not know what I was missing!

As soon as I'm well enough I'm going to have a go making some.

Three good things:
1. Reading a wonderful querky book called A Man Called Ove. Translated from its Swedish original, it's a laugh out loud book in places & very moving in others.
2. A frozen leftover Shepherds Pie for supper.
3. Start of my third week!

I love macaroons but I'm sure they have lots of sugar in them, just think of my figure. A frozen leftover Shepherds pie, if it's frozen do you have to use a hammer and chisel to eat it.

Nice display. The book you're reading is on my 'to read' list.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely building Pat , and that pyramid display of macaroons is very tempting !

[Babs]

I love macaroons and I love the arcades in Melbourne too. I have photographed this arcade a few times.

[Lois]

Yum macaroons!

[Jane Pittenger]

How many weeks for your cast?

[Maggiemae]

Macaroons seem to be very popular nowadays but I think they are just a sugar overload! Would rather have an egg sandwich! Good picture here of the arcade!

[Dianne]

A neat image to show off not only the macaroons, but all the lovely surrounds.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture of the shop and activity. I have to check out what macaroons are.

[Joyce]

Great shot Pat but like you all that colour has always rather put me off!

[Nick]

Nearly halfway! I've only had a macaroon once and it was delish. Lovely shot of this old shopping mall.

[Paula]

Great shot!

[Claire]

What a beautiful shopping arcade, I take it it is Australia? Looks a (tiny) bit like Miller Arcade in Preston.

[Pat Knowles]

@claireuk yes Claire it did remind me of the Miller Arcade, the floor was similar.

[Sarah Bremner]

Such lovely shopping spaces there.....some in big stores and some in little lanes! Laura is very into macaroons! She's quite an expert.....and loves to make cakes for special occasions for friends.
Keep cosy......it's freezing up here!

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 Not too bad here, no snow but we had hailstones this afternoon! Clever Laura!

[Wendy]

Such a pretty market with the natural light streaming through and colourful displays. Nicely composed.

[Gena Pegg]

Such pretty lighting and a lovely place to shop!
