How to make French Macarons

so I'm sure there are 100's of recipes for this
but I think i found the best way to make
since the first time I made it, it was Perfect- and apparently its hard so
btw I found this on a document on  my computer- it's written in my own words but is from a website i can't remember :( so it's not really MY recipe
oh and they're not flavoured anything specific...

Ingredients
-100 gr (1 1/8 cup) ground almonds (make sure to grind more than 100 grams/1 1/8 cup)
-100-110 gr (3/8 cup) egg whites (about 3 egg whites), aged 1 day at room temperature covered with clingfilm (though doesn't have to be)
-200 gr (1 1/2 cup) powdered sugar
-4 tablespoons (about 45 gr) granulated sugar

• Grind the almonds in a food processor. Sift to get rid of any large pieces or lumps
• Mix the powdered sugar together with the ground almonds in a food processor.
  In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with a hand- or stand mixer. As the egg whites start foaming, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time and continue whipping until the mixture is glossy and stiff. You should be able to hold the bowl upside down without the meringue sliding out!

• Fold the dry mixture into the meringue using a spatula. Add food coloring if desired and fold until fully mixed. The mixture should flow like a ribbon when you hold up the spatula. Don’t overmix! If you want to test if the batter has good consistency, just dollop some batter on a piece of parchment paper. If the dollop slowly “flattens”, you’re good to go! If not, just keep folding

• I usually find that a slightly under-mixed batter is better than an over-mixed.
  If you want to color your macarons, it’s generally better to use powdered food coloring, or pastes that are low in liquid

 

Fill your piping bag- (or large ziplock bag with a hole in the corner) and pipe the macarons onto baking sheets, I usually end up with two sheets. To make it easier to fill but the bag in a tall glass to hold the bag while you fill it.  Remember that the shells will “flatten” once you’ve piped, so don’t make them too big. About 2,5-3 cm (1 inch) is enough.
Let them set for 60 minutes to form a dry skin.

 

Heat the oven to 150° C (300 degrees F). Bake for 10-12 minutes in the middle of the oven. Keep a close eye on them the last couple of minutes as they brown easily. You can test if they are done by touching the tip of a macaron, if it “wobbles” they are not done.
Let the shells cool completely before removing them from the baking sheets. If you have trouble removing them from the paper, put them back in the oven for a couple of minutes. Fill in your filling of choice on a shell and sandwich together with another shell.

TADA :D i hope they turn out awesome :D heheh

 

Why dogs bring happiness

heres why i love dogs/puppies so much

- their cute and do stupid stuff
- some are smart and help us in our daily lives
- they're so fluffy even if the have short fur they're soft and huggable
- dogs can cuddle with you
- when you hug them they feel so weak that you have to take care of it- no matter how fat
- when they squirm in your hands its so cute- and then they start licking you xD
- THEY MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY (:

mehmehmeh :D




i is so cool ^ teehee

Me wasting time thinking bout how stuff isn't fair :P

So there are these girls in my class
and all the teachers in the school like them so much
they're all btchy but kind at the same time - for example they act nice in front of this girl
and then come to me and say dont be friends with her she's an a-hole(backstabber!!!)
grrr and the teachers let them hand stuff in late
and talk with them like their more than students-
which means they get to do all the extra stuff like always say announcements
and get picked for teams and groups automatically when they try out
and i know other people that were better that tried out and didnt get in -_- feel sorry for them
oh well... hope i have a better life than them when i grow up

they get the icing on the cake xP hahah

It's Christmas!!

If Christmas is bout Jesus... where the hell did santa come from xP
WISH U A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND  A MERRY NEW YEAR teehee
i love saying that

no white christmas for me :(
but atleast the birds start chirping in the morning

POVERTY

There are species of animal in this world that don't let anyone :
get left behind
get hungry
be homeless
suffer through pain
and work together- as a race/community, not as individual groups/countries
let others live in poverty

ANTS are one of them
WE aren't

UN    F  THE     WORLD 


















BUT THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT TRY

You have failed me Canadian weather- The snowman is becomin extinct here :(

Winters just blah
with no snow
its gross and rainy
and with snow you feel all happy
even though its a pain walkin through it
living in the sub-urban parts of GTA
theres no snow so far this year :(
and its going to rain on Christmas!!!
global warming???
VIVE LE BONHOMME DE NEIGE!

Life

 what's the point of living
and human existence on the earth
and what's the point of dying (like suiciding) because then there is simply NOTHING afterwards

MUSIC

It's sad to say this,
but music is one of the only interesting components in my life
especially punk rock (: - even though im not a punk
and it's true music influences you - specially when they aren't stupid songs about money/love (like pop SOMETIMES- not judgin)
and my favourite band used to be Green Day
untill
i found Bad Religion
Bad Religion is most meaningful bands ever- first of all awesome guitaring and music skills
and their lyrics are awesome
aaannnndddd its just so cool how the lead signer is a proffesor, has a PhD is in a band and created the label EPITAPH :D

It's the point where I admit that I am in love with the band Bad Religion <3

Pics by me (:

GOD

Grrr I hate how stuff is so confusing in the world
The idea of God
is kind of just blaming everything people dont understand - to God
and im not trying to be offensive- I believe in God myself
but still - somtimes people blame things that happened bad to them- to God
and its nto entirely a bad thing because
what the message of God tries to say
is that people should be good to the enviroment (God's creations)
and each other
but it's hard to believe in such things
as angels, heaven, hell, God, and the Adam and Eve story,
in my opinion,
if there is no proof of anything else
so magical and superior like - and if we have never seen such thing....(and our parents tell us they're fake)
 like fairies, dragons, centaurs, and unicorns
then how can something so magical like god
be real???
for no one to know and for no one to find out





jk.... Unicorns are real ;)
