Monkeyin' around

What's going on in our jungle?

Recipe Fail, Take 1,094

When somebody tells me I can't do something, guess what?
The above happens.
Nobody in particular told me I couldn't tackle a macaron, aside from the whole Internet. Apparently this is one of the tougher recipes to tackle. So, guess what (again)? Yup, I decided to attack the elusive M A C A R O N!
Over the years, I've Pinterest-ed them, studied them, envied them. And yesterday for some unknown reason - aside from cabin fever - I decided it was time. 
I had all the necessary ingredients, thanks to a short love affair with the Keto diet: almond flour, lots of eggs, and even more sugar (since sugar is the devil). 
I followed the recipe as is usual for me. Hurriedly. Unmeasured. And guess what (again x 2)? 
They turned out beautifully.
Only to quickly deflate and stick to the Silpat. 
​The end.

No. It's not what you think. 

I'll get to that in a minute. But first, I am laughing at my last blog post about my crazy cat life. I can tell I have been cooped up too long during this 2019 Polar Vortex as I'm spending my days writing about my 5 cats...on my food blog.

But back to BM. 

Our modern world is full of word-replaced acronyms. I have almost verbalized "LOL" instead of just saying, "that's funny" and the other day I was reading an article that repeated the phrase NSFW. I must confess I had to look it up. And I'll probably forget what it means and have to look it up again! {FYI: Not Suitable For Work}

So when I first started this adventure, I had not idea what a BM was (in relation to the food industry). So for all you non-foodie followers, it means "brick and mortar" as in a stand-alone building as opposed to a mobile unit.

One of the most-asked questions I receive is when am I going to get a store (BM) or why don't I just get a store.
1. Expense. In my town, a DQ recently sold for a half mill. Ya, no.
2. Time. I have a husband, 2 travel-sport-y boys, and as you already know, 5 cats. I don't want to work 24/7. I just don't.
3. Age? I'm not old, but I am older than many starting out in this industry. This job already wears me out. 
LOL.
​That's funny.
