Hey guys! I thought I would talk about Roons. If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry. They are coconut macaroons made by my mother. She has an entire business where she bakes, packages, and sells her macaroons! Now, let’s be clear. These are not some fancy shmancy French sandwich cookies.
That is a MACARON. I am talking about Macaroons. This is a link to my Mom’s company:
Once upon a time…I went with my family to Thanksgiving in Napa Valley. I was only two so it was like a billion years ago. My mom casually suggested over dinner that she wanted to do a baking project with me. She said she was going to make my Grandpa’s FAMOUS chocolate chip cookies. My Grandma looked at her and said:
“That’s so PEDESTRIAN of you! Why don’t you try making a Macaroon!?”
And with those words, the idea of a company was born. My mom experimented over and over with the recipe. Sometimes I would help, and sometimes I would stay out if it. I am pretty sure my mom was worried that as the bright little two-year-old I was, I would pick my nose and wipe it in the batter bowl. (But rest assured, I have grown out of that habit.) Anyhoo, Eventually, she turned ROONS into a company and made ROONS for everyone in the land. And they lived Mostly Happily Ever After.
Here are some pics of ROONS: The Early Days:
And here is a picture of them now:
Before we get into this week’s (and last week’s) SNL skit, I just want to say that I am sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I actually drafted this post a while ago, but haven’t gotten around to editing and publishing it. I hope you can forgive me!
And finally, Actor Of The Week!
Ving Rhames!
Ving Rhames is best known for his role as “Luther” in the Mission Impossible series, but has been in other films such as Out Of Sight, Lilo and Stitch, and Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2.
