When attempting to bake coconut macaroons, best to check you haven't let the cookbook slip a couple of pages while your back is turned. Otherwise, you get to the act of pouring the mixture out on to a baking tray and think "Crap, I don't remember that, and I haven't a damned clue" then you just end up to spoon it onto the tray in dollops instead. Also, make sure you've enough eggs, or you'll have to use one, where it says two. That way, when you finally put the 'thing' in the oven, you'll be spared looking back at the unopened bag of dessicated coconut on the worktop and wondering how they didn't make it into the list of ingredients. All this also reminds me of cooking studies at school, when one year I got really bored, and decided to make coconut squares for everyone. And while handing a small bag of coconut squares to a classmate, who was a polish girl with a large mole on her top lip. ME: hello, I made some coconut squares. MOLE-LIP polish girl takes the bag and look at it doubtfully. MOLE-LIP girl: So are you gay then? ME: (feebly) No. SHE DIDN'T EVEN SAY THANK YOU. Anyway, for an Update: just click the pic. Oh blimey. I arranged a couple of them rather prettily for the pic... but it still look like... Have a beautiful day, Frenchguy Song of the day: KINGS OF LEON "Closer"
