[Kitsa]

Got a new cookbook for French macaroons (as opposed to the coconut-and-condensed-milk blobs that haunt Passover). I love macaroons, but they're insanely effort-intensive and they take an entire day to make, once you factor in the whipping and the piping and the drying and the baking and the setting and the filling. So I've got the stuff to make pistachio ones, but I haven't gotten to it yet because I haven't had an entire day to spend on one batch of cookies.

I'd like to make eggnog ones, too, but my eggnog flavoring oil is 2 years old and I've got to find some new.
