I am in the hospital

11:30pm. They are trying to induce me. All signs point to a c-section. I will know tomorrow.

I am becoming a fan of the "Come For Tea" podcast.

Not too sweet, but full of deep chocolate flavor.
These heart-shaped scones are perfect for any
Valentine's Day tea!
- Recipe -
2 cup flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/8 t. salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg yolk
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
FPreheat oven to 375 . Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper. Set aside.
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the
flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry
blender, cut in the butter until the pieces are the
size of peas.
2. To the flour mixture, add the egg yolk, yogurt
and chocolate chips. Use a spatula to carefully
toss the ingredients together.
3. When the mixture starts to come together and
creates larger pieces of dough, stop mixing and
turn out onto a floured board. Pull the dough
together with your hands and lightly knead until
the dough is nearly smooth. Use your fingertips
to pat the dough out into a 10"-12" circle. Use a
heart-shaped cookie cutter and begin cutting
out the scones. Place on the baking sheet,
leaving room for them to rise in the oven.
Continue cutting out heart-shaped scones by
gathering the bits of dough and patting them
out.
4. Bake for 16 minutes, then remove to a wire
rack to cool.
