Maccaroons are legit so easy to make

And on the other hand, macarons cost $2.50 a pop at the fancy schmancy grocery store. Stupid deliciousness.

Macarons are much harder to make than macaroons. I've not tried my hand at those, because you need specialized equipment.

Connie, are you in SLC? Trader Joe's website says they have a store in SLC and one in Cottonwood Heights, and they have macarons in the frozen section that are something like $4-5 for a box of 8 or 10 macarons.

Connie, are you in SLC?

I am in Orem, about 30 miles south, and the part of town Trader Joe's is in requires Mad Max levels of driving and parking-fu. But I'm thinking about it.

Wait.

I think I saw macarons in the freezer case of my regular grocery store.

Uh oh.

Mad Max levels of driving and parking-fu

I'm pretty certain that's part of their site selection criteria.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so spoiled, the nearest three Trader Joe's to me are easy to get to and park at.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My TraderJoes is overcrowded nearly to the point of causing me rage blackouts on weekends, but I've found that Wednesdays after work it's pretty quiet.

-t, macarons are essentially meringues. They can have almond extract but don't need to.

They're made with almond meal.

Our wings are not tired.

I know John Hurt played a million roles, but I am stuck thinking that it feels ominous that Winston Smith has died.

One of my dearest friends uses Winston Smith as his FB name for, reasons. He is a most brilliant and complex fellow. He hasn't reacted yet. No doubt he feels things.

Muslim ban on Holocaust Remembrance Day. The fucking fuck.

Yeah, I braved some news watching last night. It hurts.

My TJs is okay for parking. Stopped there last night for the 2 buck chuck. It has made grocery shopping a new experience for this shopping phobic person. I can go there every day!

I miss working down the street from Trader Joe's. I could just run over at 2 on a weekday, and it was delightful. Now we drive 20 minutes to make one big TJs run every 2 or 3 weeks on a weekend, and it's super crowded. #firstworldproblems
