So I went through with making the macarons. I made a batch of 24 vanilla macarons which were about 1.5" and I'm quite surprised at how well they turned out.

I almost forgot. Just in case I didn't scare you away from eating pomegranate, it'd be good to know an easy way to eat them. I usually enjoy just breaking them apart and going from there, but if you're using them in dessert or salads, it's nice to know how to just get it over with.
It pretty simple really.

Today, I considered eating my emergency timtam. I didn't. They are just too hard to come by in my city and the one I keep in case of emergencies is an original from Oz. They're popular in Australia, where they originate but should be distributed all over the planet IMHO. For those of you who are wondering, Timtams themselves are nothing more than a chocolate wafer cookie made by Arnott's. What makes them so special is the product that comes from combining the cookie with coffee. The very formal process is known as a TimTam Slam. I would rename it 'orgasm'.
Instructions for a TimTam Slam.
1. A small piece is bitten off of each short side, to expose the porous centre
2. The biscuit is inserted into a cup of coffee and is used as a straw.
You will notice that it will quickly start to melt...
3. ...Slam it back before it does.
The end product is heaven.
