Frozzie I thought you would like my macaron and well done to you Thermoblogger for spotting the Eiffel Tower. Did you get the other joke as well?

I do think the toothpick tower is beyond me as I used them all up in my Martinis. Hic.

 I was actually thinking about a Pasta Leaning Tower Of Pizza  for uni. Or not.

Hooey! I like that word Frozzie. It is a word that is onomatopoeic. I could hadly spit that out. Love that word and that ain't hooey.

No challenge there Thermoblogger. Collected all my tootpicks from my Martini olives and here you are. Piece of cake.

Well maybe I did not collect All the toothpics.

 :o :o :o LOL Gretchen, you certainly are a busy woman... and a FAST one too!  8)

At first I thought you had cheated on the toothpick construction and had stolen a photo from some online toothpick artist to pass off as your own, :o but now, on closer inspection.. I do see that savoury macaloon of yours is truly balanced on top. And how did you ever manage to fit the others underneath? Such precise technical work is a testament to your true calling I think. Have you ever considered a career in... dentistry???

And who but you could put such subtle twist into the design so as to make it cause a slight yet precarious 'lean' of the macaron to give a simultaneous nod to the Tower of Pizza for uni! Whether it be Macaloonery, toothpickery, or Forum-mixery, you are simply brilliant... a true talent, ahead of her time. I know I speak for all forum members when I say "We are blessed to have you in our midst dear Gertbysea."

Thermoblogger. I see you have defaced my tower. You have nerve. I suppose you  are gunna pass my toothpick tower as your own design now. I knew I should have copywrited it or something. The theft that goes on on the Internet is a disgrace.

How dare you even suggest that I stole that photo. Do you know how many olives I had to eat  from how many Martinis to acquire that many toothpics? And that was only this mornings effort.

Ah well back to the bar.

Gretchen the photos are truly marvelous!  To post photos to tapatalk from your iPad hit 'reply and just above the 'keyboard' are three icons -one is a camera (so you can take a photo right now and post), middle icon is a link to photos already saved on your iPad (just choose the one you want to post) and the last icon is a bird which I presume is a twitter thing is you are that way inclined.

Looking at your photos I suspect you've already figured out how to post them already. I've never tried macaroons or macaloons but now I'm going to have to give it a go. Maybe it is one of those things shrouded in mystery which on closer inspection isn't as hard as it seems.

Looks like the latest International cookbook Gretchen - The best of our Recipe Communities.  Had to get a very powerful magnifying glass out to be able to pick it though.  I'm pretty sure I'm right?
