So over the weekend I was making fortune cookies for St. Patrick’s Day.  Yeah yeah, I like to mix culture :)

Anyway, I hadn’t made fortune cookies for a very long time – probably at least 10 years or more so I was a little out of practice to say the least!

Ignoring the directions, I decided to make them in a skillet instead of the oven (which is how I remember making them way back when).  At first the batter was too thick then and they burnt on the edges and didn’t get done in the middle and then I tore a few trying to flip them.

After ruining half the batch I finally remembered I’m supposed to be “manifesting” perfect fortune cookies…not fighting with them!

So I took a break to have a little talk with the Universe and came back a few minutes later intending “golden brown, perfectly round fortune cookies.”  Almost instantly the idea popped in my head to turn the heat down and wipe the skillet out with a paper towel after each cookie.  I also decided to thin the batter with a couple tablespoons of water.

Instant Success!

I finished the batch easily and they turned out great!

That’s what its all about ~ living in the flow with the little daily things makes your life oh so much easier :)

And they’re soooo yummy!
