  1. Hi there! I love the new website & design & all! Just wanted to let you know that I’m also SO-OVERLY-CRAZILY Excited for the canonization of JPII!!! and he is also my self-declared PATRON, HERO, and favorite SAINT [to be…but I just pretend like he already]. He’s freaking amazing! I have a whole book collection on him…I have his pictures /quotes all around the house…and he just amazes me so.darn.much ALL THE TIME. I’ve been writing about him a lot on my blog….but definitely will be writing more with the canonization coming up.

  2. I am waaaay behind in my blog reading and this is the first I’ve seen the new design. Loving it!! At first I thought you were saying you never had a macaroon cookie and I was thinking…seriously?? But then I noticed you wrote macaron. Never heard of it. LOL. Good for you on your Lenten project. It may not be as much as you wanted but it is still something. I’ve been pushing the sacrifice bean jar in my house. Get those toys picked up – put a bean in the jar! Brush you teeth – put a bean in the jar! Go get mom a piece of chocolate – put a bean in the jar! ;-) Okay, gotta go read a lot more of you back posts!

  3. Hi there! Found your blog through Conversion Diary today. I wish I had submitted a 7 Quick Takes post this week… I’m new to blogging, and have GOT to get in on this.

    Obviously haven’t seen it before today, but whatever you’re doing with the look of your site is working, so congrats! I love the silhouette!

    I’ve never been tempted by the macaroon. They’re so pretty… but I can’t help but think that the taste would be a let down. Kind of like the weird famous German dessert we heard so much about – Schneeballen – looked good, tasted… not so much.

    Off to read PJP’s letter now. Thanks for sharing!

  4. Your blog is so pretty! I’ve eaten macarons (in Paris) and I’ve made macarons (once) and I’ve gotta say they’re not my favorite dessert by a long shot. They are pretty, though, and the flavor combinations/colors can be quite inventive, but they’re a little too sugary for me, and I have a heck of a sweet tooth. My $.02

  5. Amy and I were supposed to have a macaron making day and i guess we both forgot… If we ever do it, I’ll save some for you or you can tag along! Jeni’s ice cream is the bestestestest. She has a cook book and i’ve made a few of her recipes. this year i shall make the macaron sandwich!

  6. 1. I like the silhouette.

    2. I may have an old copy of the Adobe Creative Suite that I don’t need. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

    3. Macarons melt in your mouth and are arguably the best desert. If you ever go to Findlay Market, make sure to stop by Skirtz & Johnston (http://www.yelp.com/biz/s-and-j-bakery-and-cafe-cincinnati). They sell traditional macarons that are delicious. Also, Whole Foods sells Jeni’s ice cream from Columbus. They make macaron ice cream sandwiches that are delicious. Their like $7 at WF, but are worth it on occasion. My favorite flavor is Orchid Vanilla. Treat yo’self.
