Three batches of macarons and 9 hours wasted on humidity

I spent all Saturday trying to get macarons right and the humidity was over 70% that day. Took me three full batches and a trip to the hardware store for a dehumidifier before I figured it out. Now I check the weather before I even pull out the almond flour. Anyone else have a recipe that just refuses to cooperate until you fix the environment?

Bought a dehumidifier just to make cookies? That's some next level dedication right there.

Oh man, "three batches and 9 hours" hits way too close to home, I've been there with my lemon meringue pie refusing to set in the summer humidity. It's wild how much the weather just sabotages all that work, isn't it?
