Both my son and husband loved the Melt-in-the-mouth shortbread cookies. Today, I made these wonderful cookies with addition of pecans. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I accidentally used cake&pastry flour. Amazingly, these cookies turn out to be so crispy, truly melting in your mouth.

I have seen that nowadays, more and more people are being attracted to camcorders and the issue of digital photography. However, to be a photographer, you will need to first devote so much period deciding the model of video camera to buy in addition to moving out of store to store just so you could potentially buy the most inexpensive camera of the brand you have decided to select. But it isn’t going to end just there. You also have to contemplate whether you can purchase a digital camera extended warranty. Many thanks for the good recommendations I gathered from your blog.
