The Weekend - Macarons + Baby time

Image
We had a really beautiful weekend.  Friday night we celebrated Shea + Dave's (otherwise known as "Shave") wedding reception. Then Mike and I left baby Jane home with Mike's sister so we could go to a comedy show. This was the first time I left Jane home at night + I was surpisingly relaxed about it! Butch Bradley is such a great friend + comedian. I don't remember that last time I laughed like that! The L.A. comedy club is a great venue.  We love you, Butchy! I used Bouchon's recipe for making macarons which acutally uses an Italian method of incorporating the egg whites separately.  From what I've read and researched, the Italian method is just a more fullproof method that renders great results. And it did! Although, I was so tired after making these, I skippd the ganache filling and left them as is. I figured without the filling, we would consume less sugar, too.  And here

Our baby, just shy of 6 months, is truly the most fun little campion there is. We REALLY our weekends together as a family.  I love the last little picture of her and her papa.  She loves to suck on her pointer finger.  Every little thing she does makes my heart throb.  I love my family.
