Macarons!

That's right, Macarons with one "o". Apparently these French cookies are all the rave. They have become very popular in Southern California. In DC not so much though, I think we are a little behind on what is popular. (Politics takes precedence in this city.) These colorful French delights are said to be the next cupcake though. I've been looking into recipes and from the reading that I have done, macarons are very temperamental and hard to make. This blog has some great background information and tips on the French macaron. There is even a recipe that I may try in the next few days!
