Day 6: The Macaroon Grind

We started our second week by making macaroons, a small desert made from almond flour, sugar, and  a filling. They were very complicated to make and it took a lot of precision during the mixing process. Since we were only making deserts, we had sandwiches for lunch. We began by making a meringue mixture and heating sugar in a sauce pan. We also added flour and sugar in a bowl, and separated egg whites from eggs.

The first ever pizza is recorded to have been made in Gaeta, an italian city, in 997 AD. Since then pizza has gone international, becoming so regular here in the US of A that it's considered at home next to American made dishes like burgers. I believe what led to this explosion of pizza popularity would have to be how customizable it is. Dream it up and you can probably put it on a pizza. Ham, sure! Pineapple, go for it. Chocolate, I think. Basketballs, technically. Anyway,
