I’m such a dork! I didn’t even realize I posted about my failures BEFORE on this post! LOL! I have tried Tartelette’s recipe once and failed worse with it than with My Food Geeks recipe. I’ll give it one more go today.

I laughed all the way through this post. I have experienced all of those failures- and more. Your sequence of failures looked oh so familiar. Too funny!

I can get mine to look good most of the time now but they are still often hollow (which is how I managed to get to this post). I also used the same recipe you did. Maybe it ISN’T us? I am trying Tartette’s recipe today. We’ll see if I get more failures or the ever elusive successful batch.

I’m probably going to hell for it but I laughed my can off through your whole post. I FOUND your post because I was trying to figure out why my Macarons had the hollow center. I was using the same recipe you did so I’m thinking- it’s not us?

Guess I’ll try again with a new recipe!

Whoever suggested baking them on foil was toying with your stress levels! Madness!

Hollow macarons can be disappointing, but are not so dreadful once filled and left to mature for a day or two. It’s possible your hollow macarons were caused by overcooking? (It’s also true that certain oven temp recommendations cause these problems, without overcooking.) Courage!

Don’t listen to those haters and patronizers. Just put them all in a bowl and eat them with chocolate milk and peppermint schnapps poured over the top, the way god intended.

Thanks for having a go at my ‘almost’ macarons. As you may have read on my site, I went through several batches myself, even threw one across the kitchen, before getting something I liked. That recipe works for me, but they only provide pretty-looking macs, they taste quite bad, imo. I’ve since moved on to using Tartelettes recipe and even compared the two methods in a more recent post…

DUDE I had a pupusa for the first time last week, and now there is very little else I am interested in eating, at all, actually. PUPUSAS.

I would buy McPupusa sandwishes, like, every day.

What the hell else are dogs for!? Back to the pound with those useless layabouts.

(Dogless friends come over to cook and then are all embarrassed and start to get a paper towel when they drop stuff, or they gasp in dismay when I drop one of the fresh eggs as I bring them in from the chicken coop … and then I just say “DOGS we dropped some food” and they come running. This might actually creep guests out, now that I think about it … but I’m not sure I can bring myself to care.)
