It’s the 2022 Red Carpet Menu for Oscar®!
For Drive My Car, it’s Hive MaCaron!
Our Mid-Century Dinner Party is turning to the sweets!
Is it wrong to say this movie did not DRIVE my movie joy? The story certainly had depth and complexity but seriously… it draggggggged on. The driving was a lot too. What can I say – every movie isn’t going to appeal to everyone. And this didn’t appeal to me.
But that didn’t daunt my fervor to find the best selection to celebrate the Academy Award Best Picture Nomination achievement.
It is more than safe to assume this is a STRETCH to relate it to the movie. They drove in a Saab… Sob…
Salty tears… salt… salted honey buttercream. As for choosing this delicate and delightful cookie, it’s as simple as – the car was red so the cookie is in a red tone. My CAR – MaCAR(on). And that’s pretty much the only reason this dessert exists! Hey – they all can’t be the perfect aha dish sensation!
HOWEVER these cookies are soooo incredible. I’ve had the macarons from the famous Ladurée. I know a good one when I taste one. These are pretty darn tootin’ good!
I did my research to make sure I got them just right. There wasn’t one recipe or blog or description anywhere that didn’t have so many warnings about getting the cookie’s foot right… the dramatic slamming of the tray to get the bubbles out. It was DAUNTING! But I was going to get it done. It wasn’t half as hard by far! In fact, it was fun! I’ve never been the best piper but I was very proud of how I did!
Do not be intimidated by making these macarons. Sugar concoctions are supposed to be a blast! They are pure joy! I made these small so they would be the perfect bite.
Give ’em a try. Reach out to ask me any question you like. You’re going to be so happy you did!
Happy Oscars!
