Tried making macarons 4 times last week. My kitchen still looks like a war zone.

I figured macarons would be a fun weekend project. Three hours in I had egg whites all over the counter, a batch of hollow shells, and a bowl of frosting that somehow tasted like salt. Tried again the next day with a different recipe from a food blog. Same result but now my mixer was smoking from running too long. By Sunday I was out of almond flour and basically just threw powdered sugar at things out of frustration. On Monday morning I did a test batch at 5am before work and they actually came out perfect with little feet and everything. My wife walked in and said why is the kitchen covered in purple dust. Still worth it though. Has anyone else had macarons ruin your whole week like that?

You peaked too early.

My 1984 high school track record got broken last year by a kid who was barely born when I first started slowing down. I peaked so early my peak is now listed in the historical artifacts section of the school website. At least I can still tell my grandkids I was the fastest guy in the county for about 45 minutes back in the spring of '83.
