I have made up a batch of the most amazing Chocolate Macaroons, filled with a chocolate ganache. The only problem was that they were all eaten within 24 hours! Next time I will make up double the quantity so there is some left to take to school in my lunchbox. I used Nigella Lawson’s recipe from “How to be a Domestic Goddess”. You can find the recipe here.
For Technology and Enterprise at school this term, we had to build and race our own Billy Carts. Yesterday my Dad came to school to help my team put together our Billy Cart. We made it out of items we found during a recent kerbside bulk rubbish collection in our neighbourhood. We had fun racing them today at school.

Chocolate macaroons WITH FILLING?!? This is terrific…I can’t wait to try them.
Are you suprised the disappeared that fast? They would not have lasted that long here. They look delicious.
Is it bad if I am drooling all over the keyboard?
24 hours ! They look so good I’m surprised they lasted even 24 minutes .
Definitely think making a double amount would be wise if they tasted anywhere as good as they looked.
Those macaroons look awesome!
Stay Cozy, Carrie
Wow, home made macaroons .. and they’re almost as perfect as the ones one sees around in fine pastries around my neighborhood! Very tempting! My favorite are chocolate (of course!) and raspberry.
Awesome billy-cart – Did it go fast???
Oh, how I love Nigella. She’s amazing! And those macaroons look mouth watering indeed!

OK,
A) I licked the screen

Yummy… and the billycart building/racing sounds fun too! Kinda reminds me of my brother- he’s always building amazing stuff with junk he finds during the street collections.
I really understand that the pastry “disappeared” very quickly! Have a great weekend!//Eva
