Steve and I missed the celebrations for Bonfire Night on Saturday, because we were on a train, after a day of adventure in Aberdeen. Aberdeen is not my favorite place in Scotland but there was a very fine European street market there on Saturday and we had a grand time sharing Dutch pancakes, Thai curry, a Celtic hog roast sandwich, Portuguese pastry, and a freshly-baked macaroon in the park.
Two stalls at the market were making the macaroons. They looked like this, which is how I always think of macaroons,
but they were a totally foreign concept to Steve, who calls chocolate no-bake cookies macaroons. I was happy to have the good people of Europe set him straight on this little disagreement in our house.
