I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this year’s cutting edge. If your trust fund is unlimited. If you are A-list B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you truly own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones and skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.Extraordinary Mind by Andre Jordan. (via Peter Santiago)

Having troubles telling how I feeling
but I can dance, dance, dance
Couldn’t possibly tell you how I mean
but I can dance, dance, dance
Double Dark Chocolate Shortbread
(makes about 12-14 cookies, double the recipe if you want to)
oven to 325
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- Put the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine well.
- Drop in the butter and vanilla and pulse until the mixture just comes together.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and turn the dough out onto a board and form into an 8” log.
- Wrap it in waxed or parchment paper and twist both ends to secure. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight. You can also freeze the dough for later use.
- Slice the log into 1/2” slices with a sharp knife.
- Put on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven at 325 for 12 to 15 minutes. They will feel slightly soft, don’t over bake them.
- Cool for a few minutes on the pan and then transfer to a rack.
- If you’re going to give them away make sure they are completely cool before you package them.
