Tips for Substituting Agave in Baked Goods | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn
Using agave in place traditional sugars in recipes is a snap to do, but it does take a little know-how. We have a few quick tips to aide you in your baking adventures to make sure each and every treat hits the sweet spot without any let down. Agave isn't a difficult ingredient to add to your pantry and won't crystallize (like honey), making it have a ridiculously long shelf life. Agave is easy enough to interchange in sauces, drinks or stir frying, but baking can be a bit more difficult. The presence of sugar in a recipe does many scientific things, so using agave as a substitution can be a bit of a balancing act. • To Reduce or Add? The best rule of thumb is to make the recipe in question once before making substitutions to it. • Mix With Liquid or Fat First: Although agave is a great substitution in baked goods, if it's not added in properly, the results can be a little—well off. • Parchment Paper Is Your Friend: Agave goods can be a little on the sticky side.

The Stumble Effect: StumbleUpon Hits the Big Leagues
I am sure most of you have heard of the Digg Effect, originally known as the Slashdot Effect, and some of you might have even had your servers go down because of it. Regardless of name, the effect is when a specific site sends a large number of visitors to your site in a short period of time, causing your site to become extremely lagged or go down completely. Due to the amount of traffic it takes to drop a server, only a few sites have really grown a reputation for having this effect; Digg, Reddit, Fark, and Yahoo Buzz. Last week, after publishing an article on a site of mine, I noticed the site was being throttled by my server company, causing only a set number of loads at any given time. I was curious what was causing my server load to be so high, when the content had not been submitted to Digg, or any other site that can traditionally send enough traffic to cause this problem. A quick check in analytics showed me I had been hit with something I had not seen before, the Stumble Effect.
