My neighbor's macaron advice changed how I think about baking completely
Last Tuesday I was complaining to my neighbor Carol about my third failed batch of macarons. She just laughed and said 'you're trying too hard to be perfect, just let the batter be itself.' For some reason that simple comment hit me different. She showed me her own lumpy but delicious macarons and I realized I had been obsessing over smooth tops instead of taste. Has anyone else had a moment where someone's casual comment made you relax about baking?

Three failed batches later I finally learned that life's like that too honestly.

Three failed batches later" is all of us. That's the thing about baking, you gotta fail a few times before it clicks. It's like pressure washing, you don't get perfect stripes on your first driveway.
