I am still here + can you fall in love with macarons?

Just a small post to tell that I am still here, have been sick for more than 14 days, now up and running again, almost...  :-)

While I was sick I have been reading about macarons! I have never thought about macarons before, but fell in love with them when i saw Call me cupcakes blog - what a wonderfull blog! I just had to try.
Mine was not as pretty - but hey, it is my first try and I am quite pleased with the result.
Here they are:

Next time I have to try Red Velvet Valentine's Macarons, have a look, dont they look fantastic?
