I don't think some macaroons look too edible. They're always very bright and colourful and just don't seem like food. They sort of look like very childish buttons or something I'd want to throw at something. If something is dyed purple, that tastes like grape right? Of course that's right. I just can't imagine a purple macaroon tasting like grape flavour. You know what those pink ones probably taste like? ROSES. It's true, they make rose macaroons. The yellow is probably daffodil and the green is leaf.
I don't know about these things. I'm not going to google them to see what they actually are. I prefer for them to remain mysterious. They look too unnatural. Like clear Pepsi. Or 6:00 a.m. Or this saiga antelope:

Anyways, I know I can just look up what a macaroon actually is, but I prefer to remain ignorant. This lil' antelope guy on the other hand.... I need to learn about him. Is that a football in his nose? Is he as old as the number of rings on his horns? What kind of horns are those? I NEED TO KNOW. Macaroons... meh.
oh my. i love your blog. this post had me laughing so hard that my boy came in the room with a puzzled look. hilarious. i don't even know how to explain what they really are...
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up and I need lots of humour these days. Thanks for that, T. :)
ReplyDeletethat freakin' goat, ram, antelope creature is killing me...are his horns made of candy canes? is he edible?
ReplyDeleteHaha! I finally became brave enough to eat a macaroon last week. I would love to see a picture of that saiga eating one too! I think he would enjoy one of the leaf-flavored ones.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!! I too want to know about the lil guy...I expect a full report...perhaps that's how you can entertain me on a long drive somewhere lol
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, Hilarious! Your blog is great! Thank you for visiting my way!

ReplyDeleteVery funny post! I think the macaroons look beautiful but you are right, not sure I would want to eat a purple one!
ReplyDeleteI once made a pirate ship birthday cake for my son, complete with black icing. Couldn't eat the icing...

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the link about your website ! It looks soooo cool ! I`ll take a more elaborate peek tomorrow !
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day !
I've never tried a macaroon and it will probably stay that way.
ReplyDeleteahaha love this post! i never knew either I though they were chocolate covered nuts! I live mr. football nose at the end! He's so wild looking and cute!
ReplyDeleteDefinition of Macaroon: Over-photographed french sandwich that can only be seen through-the-view-finder. Cupcakes were so last season!
ReplyDeletehaha, i love this! and let me tell you, they are delicious!!!!! meringue and different flavours (rose, pistachio, lemon etc.)
ReplyDeletethey are spelled 'macaron' and the macaroon is a little mound of coconut and chocolate (i believe) just like the chocolate rosebuds!! (but i'm not googling that....)
I'm not even going to say what I think the pink ones look like! Anyway, thanks Kate (above), that mound of coconut with a chocolate bottom is what I was taught to believe a macaroon was. My upbringing may be questionable.
ReplyDeletehaha, this post made me laugh. I'm with you but they are so cute!
