Because my brain can't sit still today, combing through papers for a particular consensus nuclear export signal is not really happening. Okay, macarons.

Holly makes some amazing macaroons, the American kind with coconut.Then there are the French kind, basically a meringue-based sandwich cookie. They're a long-standing member on the list to things i mean to bake eventually, but have to carve out the time, find the ingredients, and summon up nerve for. David Lebovitz has posted extensively about them, seen here, here, and an actual recipe for chocolate ones. i personally would like to try making a raspberry version.

We googled the pronunciation. My attempts sounded vaguely Scottish. Holly's were much better.
