Round Up MAC ATTACK #23 MACARONS DE LA SAISON

Tis the Season....

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
- George Santayana

The world turns and time flashes by. Summer fades into autumn; winter melts into spring. A change of season can be gentle and lovely, welcome like a cool embrace or a warm kiss, flowers pushing up through the damp, dark earth or leaves of burnished gold or muted red floating lazily down. Or it can be violent and rude, flashing wild and hard, sudden searing, burning heat, or cold and harsh, flooding our world darkly. But a change of season never arrives unnoticed. Wisps of nostalgia accompany each season, emotions inspired, memories of childhood adventures, family vacations, honeymoons and birthdays, holidays or simply quiet afternoons with a warm breeze kissing your skin or sitting in a cozy kitchen watching the rain patter against the windowpane.

September’s Mac Attack challenge asked you to create a Seasonal Macaron, a mac inspired by the best of the season, a flavorful memory. The end of summer, the sweetness of the last days of plums and peaches; the beginning or an autumn laden with earthy chestnuts, tangy citrus or a warming cup of coffee as the temperature dips; the burst of spring flowers or berries…. Our macs this month have been kissed by all seasons, so many flavors, an abundance of memories.
