valentine '10: cookies...
"what are you doing?"
"i'm attempting to bake cookies."
"aw, you're at home being domestic?"
"yeah, i'm failing though."
my friend susan called me after i baked 3 batches of french macarons that left me quite disillusioned...
batch #1: burnt, never put delicate batter on the bottom rack.
batch #2 & #3: flat, no little macaron feet :( they seemed cooked, and they were crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside so i assembled them with my chocolate ganache anyway. a few hours later the shells became super sticky from the sugar and stuck to anything they touched.
batch #4: viennese almond cresents. well, i gave up on the french macarons and decided to go in a different direction. by the way, i love silicone baking sheets.
so, after hours in the kitchen and researching what went wrong with the macarons, my family and boyfriend are getting viennese almond crescents for valentine's in the lotus boxes. good thing i practiced this weekend...

valentine '10...
1. download and print the below image. it should be almost 8"x8", so you can print it on an 8.5"x11" card stock paper.

2. cut out the shape along the solid black lines, don't forget the slit on the gray petals.
3. place the printed side face down, and bring the short petals up to meet each other.

my heart...
for christmas, my sister gave me a new moleskin sketchbook and twelve tubes of acrylic paint, almost all individually wrapped. my boyfriend gave me a little wooden mannequin and whole stack of blanks canvases, all different sizes. so obviously, my new year's resolution is to paint more!
i haven't planned anything for the bigger canvases yet. just for fun though, my boyfriend bought a pack of tiny 3.5" x 2" canvases and we had a mini art session...
after i painted my heart for him, i thought i might start a simple series of red, black, and white paintings.
