Go Feesh!
What the heck is going on here??
I like to bake stuff. I also like to give people stuff I bake.
Sadly, I can only bake some of the time. Ergo, I can only give people baked stuff some of the time.
So, when I do get baking and when I have extras, I would like to give people an opportunity to partake.
Thus ... Go Feesh!

So how does this work?
Plug in your info here. (No, it's not a newsletter, just a semi-monthly email hopefully declaring that you're the lucky feesh that got picked.)
I will randomly draw someone from this pool about once a month. Maybe even twice a month *gasp* if I've been super productive.
(Or super stressed.)
I will then email everyone saying who got picked to receive a dozen macarons of that month's flavors.
*FIREWORKS*
The lucky feesh will then have three days to get back in touch with me on whether they want it or not. If I don't hear from them, I'll pick another feesh from the pool.
(Oh, and once you're picked, I'll keep you out of the drawing for 3 months after, just to give some other feesh a chance before putting you back in the pool.)

What flavors will the macarons be?
It might be something tried-and-true, or some wild new experiment. Even I probably won't know until I feel the urge to make it and pick a feesh out of the pool.
What if I don't like the flavors?
I'll give you one free pass. If you've had some childhood trauma that means you can't stand the flavors I want to play with for that particular month (I've been made to understand that this is actually a thing), I'll pick another feesh but hold onto your email and ask you again the following month without drawing a new recipient. But if you don't like the second month's flavors either, sorry, you're gonna get tossed back into the pool again.
(Of course, if you're outright allergic to an ingredient, I'll try to work out an alternative for you. I'll always provide a list of all the ingredients that go into that month's batch. That being said, I DO work with other baked goods and many different flavors of macaron materials so there might be trace contamination from gluten products, chopped nuts, etc. So if you're deathly allergic to something where even trace amounts could cause a trip to the emergency room ... please please please inform me!)

Yay, I'm the lucky feesh!
How much does it cost to put my grubby fins on some macarons?
How much does it cost to put my grubby fins on some macarons?
As much as I would love to sell you my lovingly hand-crafted (possibly-midnight-stress-baked) confectionary concoctions, I don't have a commercial kitchen and I don't have business insurance. You can, if you wish, simply compensate me for the ingredients, packing materials, and shipping costs or any amount of donation up to $100.
(No, just kidding, don't give me $100. I would feel compelled to make you another batch or five of macarons and I don't know if I'd be able to keep my day job if you figure out you can keep churning that cycle.)
My one single requirement is that you give me detailed feedback on what you receive. The spice of life is improvement (well, my life, anyway)! Many of the flavor combos are experimental, so you're basically my beta (taste) tester.
So, these macarons are as free as you want them to be, short of a few minutes out of your life typing up some feedback.

OK, so we've sorted all that out, now HOW do I actually get the macarons?
If you're near where I live, we could simply meet up!
If that's not possible, I can ship within the US. These macarons freeze beautifully, and I'll pack it with ice packs and send it via USPS Priority flat rate. If you don't mind covering the $21 for shipping and packing materials (why does it cost this much?), that would be much appreciated. I have a page here on the care and eating of macarons if you're concerned about how shipping will affect them.

You've convinced me this is the best lottery to be in short of the next multi-billion dollar PowerBall.

(I would argue it is THE best lottery, as your odds are much better here, you don't have to pay-to-play, and while money can't buy you happiness, great desserts can bring you bliss)
Just drop your info here.
Good luck!
