Macarons 101 (revised 2)

Here is a recepi to make 32 Macarons.

Macarons Ingredents
2 Large Eggs
115g icing sugar
75g ground almonds (for pistachio flavour swap 25g of almonds for 25g of pistachios)

Method

To make the Macaron mix the Almonds and icing sugar into a bowl. I sifted them together. Whisk the egg whites into a bowl (Note don’t over whisk) and the Vanilla until soft peaks can be made. Then fold the Almond and icing sugar mix into the egg whites. Pipe out onto a oven tray with grease proofe paper and leave for 30 minutes. When you can just touch them without any sticking to your finger put them in oven 210 degrees C for 10 to 15 minutes. They may go slightly brown then there done, Voir La

Make the butter icing filling

55g butter
1/2 tea spoon Vanilla extract
115g icing sugar
1 tea spoon Vanilla extract

Mix these 3 ingredents into a bowl and then use it to stick between two of the cooked Macrons.

Ebay Chip Purchase From southeastlaptopservices

Leave a reply

I purchased a used chip from southeastlaptopservices on ebay and when I go the chip I put it in my computer and it did not work. My computer already has a AMD 60 and this was the next model up. When I turned it on my computer just went on then off after 2 or 3 seconds. I then asked southeastlaptopservices could I return the chip they said no problem then I asked for the retuen address and then they changed their mind saying

“Im sorry but why has it taken you over a month to want to return, as its over 2 months i wont be able to refund, so you will have to keep as spare or sell on.”

Im not in this business, I have a good record of selling and buying on ebay. Nor am I in the business of reporting ebay reviews but I have no choice in this case.

Are they encouraging that I sell a duff chip! Like they sold me. A picture is worth a 1000 words. Please see these images below and make your mind up before purchasing from this Ebay seller.

These are my Macro images of the AMD MOBILE TURION 64×2 S1G1 LAPTOP CPU 2GHZ TL-60, DELL HP COMPAQ ACER

On close inspection one can clearly see a hair line crack through the processor.

Le Quecumbar and Brasserie

When you see this your there

I could not help but make a article on the “Le Quecumbar and Brasserie” I visited this week starting at 8:00. On Tuesday they have a Jam night. There is a gentleman called Victor who is the linchpin of the night appropriately playing the Double Bass, and usually 6 or so guitarists from far and wide across London. The quality of musicianship is high. So far I have been twice and I think I recognised 3 previous guitarists. So this tells me the “Gypsy Jazz” genera it still very much alive and thriving.

I also had dinner there which was delightful.

Here are some recordings I made of the evening. I could not catch the names of them all so I would appreciate it if some one could email me with naming them.
