TMI Tuesday: May 31, 2022: Maca…

Hey, Macarena

Oops, that’s not right.

Macca AKA Paul McCartney

Nope, that’s wrong too.

Oh…..

Today is Macaroon day. Macaroon NOT Macaron, the french cookie. Did you know if you search Macaroon a bunch of pictures of Macaron pop up? It takes a deeper dive to find a single photo of the coconut-y, mini cake.

Did you know that the word Macaroon comes from the Italian word maccarone, meaning paste?

On with the MACAROON celebration for TMI Tuesday.

1. Have you eaten a macaroon? Did you like it?

Yes, my grandmother used to make macaroons, and I love them.

2. Do you prefer a coconut macaroon or the original almond paste version?

Although I’m not a big fan of coconut, I prefer coconut macaroons because that is what my grandmother made.

3. Have you made macaroons? Share your recipe if you’d like.

Nope, I’ve never made them. I wonder why?

4. To jazz up a basic macaroon–egg whites, sugar, and coconut–which of the following will you add?

a. chocolate

b. fresh fruit or fruit preserved

c. candy

d. cinnamon

Chocolate, always chocolate.

5. Would you rather eat a macaroon or macaron?   

I’m not too fond of things that force you to pick one thing over another. Can’t I have both?
