Funny I would never order a pint of Guinness to drink on its own but I do like using it for cooking (such as like in your stew recipe there) and baking (in cake I always make at X-mas)

I had a couple of friends who loved the stuff and got me to try it. I could only manage half and at the end I was nursing it (it was served room temp I think cause I remember a lot of foam) so long that it got even more warm and I couldn't choke the rest of it down.

Oh, your Guinness cake is legendary!!! I could eat that stuff all day!

Oh, that stew loks so good! I could use a bowl for lunch today...

Macarons are SO TRCIKY! I haven't ever tried making them, prolly never will. They are a delight to eat, mind you.

Also, am I the only one who gets super-annoyed when people call them "macaROONS?" Totally not the same thing, lol!

I understand typos in posts but actually calling them macaroons in person ... I have to bite my tongue. :)

The stew was very good.

Honestly, it makes me crazy... I always have to correct people... I do try and keep it friendly: "macaROONS are coconut - macaRONS are these cute little things we are eating." So far people giggle, and learn to pronounce them properly.

Maria those macaroons are simply perfect! They are not easy to make. Congratulations!

I wish I could claim they were perfect but they're getting there. :)
