My failed macarons led me to spot a humidity issue many overlook
I baked macarons last week and they came out all cracked and ugly. Turns out, I had pasta boiling on the stove at the same time. The steam made my kitchen too damp for the shells to set right. I tried again on a drier day and they were perfect. Now I see how easy it is to mess up with extra moisture in the air.

Feel this deep in my soul! I once tried to bake meringue cookies while my humidifier was blasting in the next room. I could not figure out why they turned into sad, flat puddles instead of cute little clouds. I basically steamed my own dessert.
