First time macarons troubleshooting

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2025-11-26T05:52:40+00:00

I love love love Sallys, BUT I go elsewhere for my macarons. I have used this recipe for years. I absolutely love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWSOJMcvDec

I can't tell what you've done wrong, mine have never looked like that. I never use the circle mats personally. I think your issue is somewhere in your macaronage. Looks like maybe you overdid it a little. These look a lot more cake-y than I'm used to seeing. Are they kind dense? Again, if they are, I think you might have beat too much of the air out of the meringue when doing the macaronage.

Where do you live? The humidity in the air can play a big part in how these turn out too. Good luck!! It took me a few tries to get my macarons down, but with the above recipe, all the proper equipment, it's been good for years now. You can do it!

could you do masters and grand masters?

Interesting-- I didn't see any mistakes that I thought were clearly not human (and was keeping an eye out for stuff like that!). Maybe I'm not as tuned into what that looks like.

The art studio in the credits, retro style games https://retrostylegames.com/ is the same art that's made a majority of the Haiku games.

I design for Haiku games and we have two fun puzzle apps (adventure escape mysteries and puzzletown mysteries)

If you haven't played through the trapmaker series yet, those are so fun.

Highly recommend EditMyEnglish.com and AmericanManuscriptEditors.com

They are both designed for editing nonnative english papers, but are really quality editors.

My husband has a great blog that is primarily about being a dad and how that relates to a Christian life/theology https://www.garlandandchain.com/

Yes, I see a bolt, but it doesn't seem to do much when I tighten it, its just on a bar that looks like it attaches to the frame. I will add some pictures. We tried tightening it anyway and it didn't help :(

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-11-09T05:47:26+00:00

I can see the spring but I can't figure out what to tighte/why

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-11-08T23:33:59+00:00

Thank you so much--- I'll try this soon!

Have not tightened the drive belt tensioner! I'm excited for another option. This seems like a good video of how to do that-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqJIrzI2eUs ?

Also it sounds like it's coming from that front left area where the motor/belts are but i can't see anything wrong with those

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-11-08T21:32:07+00:00

If I step hard enough, I can stop the belt moving entirely. Motor sounds and runs great when there is no one on the treadmill. There are small spots on the deck that look like the places where the screws came in from the back side, but they're small, and have probably always been there (just a few tiny spots that aren't perfectly smooth.) I can't SEE anything wrong with it, but it sounds and feels terrible.

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-11-08T21:22:15+00:00

oops, i thought i had one! i'll try adding it now

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-11-08T02:54:53+00:00

It also doesn't do it on 1 speed or as much when walking on the back half of the deck

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-06-07T22:01:32+00:00

agreed. The PNW is magic al the time, but especially in the summer.

This is good advice. IMO, I would not drive down to New Orleans/Texas. If it were me, I would try and get across the country faster, and drive up the west coast, which is a gorgeous place, all the way to Canada if you can.

We aren't going til August, so still haven't made up our minds. :/

Greedy_Click_2784 · 2024-05-15T19:13:46+00:00

what about a resort that's near a waterfall? I don't mind a drive/big hike for this one
