Introductions

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my blog...or what will hopefully become a blog.  The point of my ramblings is share my adventures in baking.  I'll try to stay on topic but I might not be able to resist giving my opinions on other topics as well.   But mostly it will be about baking....I promise. 

To start, I guess I should introduce myself.  I'm a Psychological researcher with a terrible sweet tooth, hence why I love baking.  I'm not a particularly outstanding baker but it is something I enjoy...so be prepared for tons of pictures of my delicious disasters.   When I'm not working or baking I'm usually catching the latest film release or out enjoying musical theatre.  

I guess that's it for now...lets get the ball rolling shall we?
