They look so good, and I agree, quality control needs to be done by someone so it might as well be you, or in my case me. <br /><br />P.S. Can I ask a favor? OK...I would love to live on the east coast, and have a ranch, do you think so day we can get a tour of your property?

We feel the same way you do about the refrigerator texture, but I have found if you leave them sitting out to get to room temp they almost taste the same as the first day you made them. Almost, not quite.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442588077162573131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734502228728896966.post-19749341037601985702010-06-30T14:16:40.044-04:002010-06-30T14:16:40.044-04:00Those look so perfect.

I'm so glad I read your post last night because I experimented with storing them outside of the fridge and I think it helps preserve the texture (which I also found irresistible). I'm glad your stern talking to yourself was more successful than mine was...I'm still stealing random cookies that didn't get a dose of ganache.<br /><br />Thanks for baking with me...it takes a lot of courage for someone to join me on this challenge!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185657147547217295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734502228728896966.post-10311194923579268422010-06-30T10:26:36.819-04:002010-06-30T10:26:36.819-04:00Susan these turned out perfect...I'm late in b...Susan these turned out perfect...I'm late in baking (down with a bad bug ! ) but if mine turn out half as good as yours I'll be happy ! And I agree with the frig thing-I think it's a ruse to get us all to have soft mushey macarons while only a few who know the real secret keep the crispy crunchy ones !!
