Orders aside, there were so many reasons to bake last week I just couldn't resist.
1. First the interesting suggestions provided by readers of this post got me going. Thanks everyone for your comments!
2. Also, I really wanted to thank Catherine for her article on Macarune
3. And finally, Livie hasn't had a Macarune macaroon since we last met and our short trip to LA was just the perfect excuse
Of course, there's always a con to all this baking: the poor bf hasn't seen me in weeks. Sorry hon! I'll make it up to you.

Black and white sesame macaroon. This combo has a lighter flavor to it than the usual black sesame macaroon
To offset the lighter flavored shell, I filled the macaroon with black sesame paste (80% sesame seeds, 20% buttercream)
This, is by far my favorite macaroon out of the batch. Pomegranate. The tangy seeds from within pop in your mouth leaving a juicy surprise

Congratulations! I share your fascination with Macarons and have toyed with the idea of trying to make a go of baking them for the public, since there don't seem to be good ones in SF. I also have a BF who feels neglected when I make Macarons... Best of luck, and if you need a helper for a big order, I'm sure plenty of folks in San Francisco would help just to watch you fold the egg white with the sugar and nut flour!
Hi Danielle! So glad the word on Macarunes is out! :-)
I heard good things from C about the Thai Iced Tea macaroons. Next time I get a chance, I'm going to order that, the pomegranate, and the red velvet macarunes. Can't wait!
