"Mac Attack 9" - SING, SING A SONG …. The Round Up

"She was my ground, my favorite sound, my country road, my city street, my sky above, my only love, and the ground beneath my feet."
U2, The Million $ Hotel

Hola you wonderful mac passionate folk. Hope you are rocking with us. A 1000 apologies for this delayed round up. I know we should have got this out yesterday but the mac sistahs were both worked to the bone on their respective continents, racing against time to meet deadlines of the real world types. Jamie was packing her bags to fly off for a well deserved vacation to Florida...

 All her bags are packed, she's ready to go
Yes the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already we're happy you're off to fly
Jamie's leaving on a jet plane
I know when she'll be back again

Oh, babe, we have to post the feet ...

... while Deeba was facing demolition men! Nothing as dramatic as it might sound, but her kitchen is in for a makeover and her life is everything but baking & blogging currently... {read heat and dust!}.

 Oh! demolition, demolition
Demolition, demolition
Tied to the tracks and the train’s fast coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn’t in your plan
And don’t mess around with the demolition man

Shall not hold you singing to our haphazard music any longer! We're rocking and rolling this month with a fabulous turn out of talented mac bakers and singers. Take a look at  their genius creations, all inspired with music to rock your soul!

Mac Attack 9 - SING…. SING A SONG….

Say, hey, good lookin’
Whatcha got cookin’?
How’s about cookin’ something’ up with me?

Hey, sweet baby
Don’t you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?

I got some egg whites perfectly aged
Some almonds and sugar and I’m not at all fazed
There’s chocolate or vanilla or whatever you please
Just tell me your preference, I’ll even do cheese !
So, hey, good lookin’
Whatcha got cookin’ ?
A few dozen perfect macarons….

- Hank Williams with some creative
rewording by the Mac Queen

Step into the kitchen and grab that jar of aged whites then flip on the radio. Baking is always more fun when the music is blaring, those good ol’ Golden Oldies or a a blast of rock n roll, the best sing-along pop, it all makes an afternoon spent making macarons more fun and lively. So now is the time to combine the two! Tie on that thinking cap and get those creativity juices flowing, for this month your Mac Attack challenge, if you are willing to accept it, is to take that favorite tune and bake it into a mac!

We know that you can cook up somethin’ spectacular ! Just let that favorite song inspire your choice of mac flavors or colors, from a Yellow Submarine to Goober Peas to Animal Crackers or Savoy Truffle, the list is endless and the choices are delicious! So, let’s cook up something special, something toe-tapping, sing-along good!

Come Friday night your appetite is needing satisfaction.
Best place I know for you to go and get some gratifaction
Hop a bus, take a train if you got no car start hitchin'
But don't you waste one minute, man get down to Rosie's kitchen
She adds spice, so nice. She's got them buttered scones
My tip - french dip. Make the meat drop off the bone
Where's Fred? bakin' bread! In the kitchen with Rosie
Where's Pete? poundin' meat! In the kitchen with Rosie
Where's Lou? gettin' stewed! In the kitchen with Rosie
When you get twitchin' Scratch your itchin'. Do some cookin'
In the kitchen with Rosie. In the kitchen with Rosie
Well her recipes are bound to please. Of that, there's no denyin'
Seal your fate with just one plate. Brother, I ain't lyin'
It's good advice, paradise is the spot that I'm pitchin'
Don't you waste one minute, man. Get down to Rosie's kitchen.

- Cadillac Moon
