You might be getting tired of me writing about macaroons, so I'll make this my last post about them. But I felt I simply had to report back on some coconut macaroon experiments!

A reader mentioned in the comment section a while back about how they like to dip their baked biscuits in some chocolate, and I liked the sound of that. Very much, in fact.

So I made two more batches of these, as a gift for some new neighbours. To one batch I added lots of lemon zest, and was considering sandwiching pairs of these lemony macaroons together with zingy citrusy icing. But in the end laziness won and they remain plain lemon macaroons.

The other batch was half-dipped in melted bittersweet chocolate, and placed on baking paper in the freezer for a few minutes to set. Homemade chocolate biscuits. I recommend them.

I was up way too late last night and found myself perusing this great website, The Hairpin, which is like a women's magazine but more thoughtful and witty. And that is where I found this amazing comic strip- The League of Ordinary Ladies by Esther C. Werdiger. In case you've not seen it already, check it out. I especially like Gym Time, which reminds me of my fleeting past experience with physical exercise.
