Today I tried a new recipe from The Chopstick Diet. The recipe called for 1 2/3 cups (aprox. 208 g)of flour. When I began to mix the ingredients together, it became the consistency of cookie dough.
I knew then that the measurements in the book was wrong! So, I started over and guessed by only adding a 2/3 cup of flour. (aprox. 83 g) I thought if it's not enough I can always add more because adding too much, it can't be taken away. This time it worked!! These will be great for breakfast with a cup of

Took a picture of my bleeding heart plant. There is a story about the meaning of the bleeding heart plant.
"Because of its characteristic shape, the bleeding heart flower is at the center of many folkloric tales. One of the best known stories – which has many variations – is generally told directly through the anatomy of the plant itself. This story tells of a prince who tries to win the heart of a beautiful maiden by giving her gifts. With each gift, two of the petals are removed. Despite his attempts, the maiden continues to refuse the prince, and so he pierces himself through the heart – the heart having been formed with the discarded petals, the knife with the green stamen. The essence of the bleeding heart flower is said to open up and strengthen the heart chakra, which in turn causes a person to feel emotionally soothed and open to the possibility of new romance. It is thought to be especially useful after a heartbreak. These blossoms are also frequently used in love spells. One such spell includes braiding the flowers into your hair, lighting a white candle in honor of the goddess of love, and reciting a poem or incantation."
