Guys, I still keep thinking about the damn macarons and I don't think it was the lack of colouring. They batter looked exactly the same as Shane's and Tracy's. I think the temperature was off and hence the meringue somewhat overcooked. We had to work with these old fashioned sugar thermometers and the recipe said boil the syrup until it reaches 118C. Which was more kind of guesstimation because you could not see it properly on that thing. Anyhow the recipe I follow usually says take it off at 113.5C which with my lovely digital thermometer is a no brainer. So I think it was just overcooked... and the mixer was pretty shite as well. But it was same for everyone else! I was so tired that day and had massive headache from a strong cold I caught couple of days back that I really was not bothered that much. I was seriously thinking of quitting half way through so I was kinda happy I finished at least... miserably but finished nonetheless!

Insider info? Well no too much to say, some people are nice, some people not so much, some people like each other, some people hate each other, some people are honest about it and some people fake it! That pretty much sums it up :)

Oops! Would not be the first time my big mouth got me into trouble ;)
