Yeah Cash, I guess u do have to be a bit careful. A few years ago in Kenya the 2 tribes that live alongside the orphanage began killing each other over the election results. It got ugly and the kids were all piled into one house until the police arrived and surrounded the place. Very frightening for our friends who founded the place15 years ago!

I thought so because Macarons are currently tres chic whereas Macaroons are considered to be a bit daggy ...

From Wikipedia :
The earliest recorded macaroon recipes are for the almond meringue variety similar to amaretti, with a crisp crust and a softer interior. They were made from egg whites and almond paste. Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management[4] gives a recipe for a macaroon of this kind.
The name of the cookie comes from an Italian word meaning paste, maccarone. While origins are uncertain, some culinary historians claim that macaroons can be traced to an Italian monastery. The monks came to France in 1533, joined by the pastry chefs of Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henri II. Later, two Benedictine nuns, Sister Marguerite and Sister Marie-Elisabeth, came to Nancy seeking asylum during the French Revolution. The two women paid for their housing by baking and selling macaroon cookies, and thus became known as the "Macaroon Sisters".[5] Recipes for macaroons (also spelled "mackaroon," "maccaroon" and "mackaroom") appear in recipe books at least as early as 1725 (Robert Smith's Court Cookery, or the Complete English Cook).
