one of these things is not like the other….
we never get to venture out and get macarons, so with donna hay’s macaron mix available at woolies now, i thought it would be fun to try and make them myself!
i loveee to bake, i’m the queen of packet mixes – so it’s not really baking, but i still love putting together the ingredients and seeing what delicious treat comes out of the oven. the macaron mix was really easy to do, you just need a couple tablespoons of cream for the choc filing and some warm & cold water. the hard part? getting the mix into perfect circles, it just wasn’t going to happen. see –
they look like rockies (sort of like cornflake cookies), really rough compared to the smooth perfect macaron’s that we’re used to.. but they still taste amazing! i’ll definately try to make them again, and this time spend more care with putting the mix into geometric, smooth top circles 😛

in today’s news, they’ve reported the most annoying sound in the world is…… a child whining!
i don’t know about that… Jasper & Jovie do give us a run for their money when they want something, but is that the most annoying sound in my life? not by far. before they came along, i actually dreamed of the day where i’d have kids that would whine, or smell bad, or cry and cry for hours. to have kids at all, would be fine for me – with whine or not.
i think the most annoying sound in my world would be my own self-doubting thoughts (yes, it’s a sound to me, lol) – that’s what really gets me! that and knuckle cracking. but i think i’m coming to the point in my life where i’m ready to go on a serious adventure, a big change.
i’m 30, have a great marriage, great kids – kids that need my attention and who i want to give more attention to, we have some savings (could survive a couple of months) and i’m just ready. every passing day, i feel, is an opportunity lost. that there is something out there that doesn’t shrivel my insides and break my heart every morning at 8 when i start work for the day. that doesn’t make me cringe the hour before i ‘leave’ because i’m expecting to be asked to stay back and keep going..
i see these words, thinking like this and saying to myself ‘stay for the paycheck’ is the most annoying sound in my world, can you tell?
so apart from children whining, crazy thoughts and knuckle cracking – what’s your most annoying sound?
