No really, I'm still here.

Well hello all!

Summer is traditionally the time of year when I find myself with loads of free time. Not so this year....... Anywho, this summer is going well despite how tragically stressful it has been. I'll be moving at the end of the summer so besides all the normal hectic things going on in my life, I also get to relocate.

I don't have any delicious recipes or pictures for you today (forgot my camera at home....booo). I can promise that there's a Shortbread Cake in your future, as well as a fun collection of photos.

Instead of all that, today I'm offering a link, but only one:

Want to know why your cookies aren't chewy enough? The difference between cake and pastry flour? Anything else baking related? He's got it. If you're currently trying to bake ANYTHING right now, go to his site RIGHT NOW and read up.
