A Tart-eeny Shortbread

This is one of those recipes that most people can do right then and there. It was awesome. This particular shortbread called for unsalted butter, cornstarch, a-p flour, salt and sugar! Since this was my first time to have ever consumed Shortbread, I really don't have much to compare it to...especially if it came out appropriately. All I can say is that it was delicate, melted in my mouth and was like a really really soft sugar cookie.

On a more savory note, a really nice customer from the coffee shop brought in fresh basil from his garden. I adopted it and gave it a good home. My belly. Here is what happened to the basil:


Got some very good use out of it and made a tomato-basil pizza with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Mmm-hmm. I burnt my thumb while getting the pan out...Aloe vera did not help much. In fact, I think it made it sting more!

Tip: Wear oven mitts...when handling hot objects that come straight from the oven...seriously :(
