Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Macarons = French almond cookie thingies ;) - only four ingredients - almond flour, egg whites, flavoring/coloring and sugar, plus the filling


Meant to add that no wonder I was confused! Macarons look and sound wonderful. I love almonds but have never tried almond flour. Must be good. I am drooling...

We make hotel DuPont Macaroons, which I suppose must be more like macarons. No colors, just almond paste, sugar, and eggs. An amazing cookie!

You are all making me hungry.
I have enjoyed this retreat, but it has not been long enough, and tomorrow is Sunday
