Macarons vs. Macaroons

I have a feeling that this will be a weird post but... (just an excuse to put up my pictures haha)

I think just up until earlier this year, I didn't know the difference between macarons and macaroons. So let's make things straight: Macarons are the cute ones (I don't know about you but in my opinion, there's nothing really cute about macaroons)
All of my pictures here are of macarons. They come in assorted flavours and they're quite tasty
Macaroons, on the other hand, are these shell shaped pastries (kind of like biscuits?) and they're made with coconut inside. Ergo, I don't eat them. I hate anything with coconut in it.

A friend got these at a bakery (?) called Faubourg. I really have no idea what or where the place is as I wasn't there. I just took her pictures and edited them hahas.

 I did however, get to eat this one ^^^ Candy Cane Macaron. My breath felt all minty after eating it!

 And here's Pistachio. I always love the vibrant colours of things that are pistachio flavoured but it seems weird to me.... so I've never tried

Back to the whole Macaron vs Macaroon thing. I feel that it's pretty inevitable that people are going to continue mistaking the two. Just today, I passed by a bakery selling macarons labelled as macaroons. But hey, raise the awareness, right? (LOL I make this issue sound a lot bigger than it really is.... First World Problems?)

Just for fun, here's a picture of my friend's cat, Kiki (Yes, that's me holding her) and yes, that is the "all hope and chance of escape has lost"-look in her eyes. Happens every time I pick her up ;)

Anyway, I should probably get to sleep. Gotta wake up early tomorrow and finish a term paper and studying for a final that are both due tomorrow night haha. Procrastination  at its finest, eh folks?
