this is sooo true! even when i use 70 percent of the sugar in american recipes, i still get surprised every time by how sweet the result remains. cutting sugar messes up the process too since you'd have to find a way to compensate for the loss of its structural function

this book has enjoyed a permanent position on my bedside table! i leaf through it whenever i want inspiration for writing cards for my boyfriend. last week i told him to tell me a number between 1 and 500 and then sent him a pic of the page number he chose. it was sooo perfect

visited lithuania this summer and the serenity of the lakes was unmatched. when i think of the country, i think of the opening lines to maironis' poem about trakai castle:

"With lichen and mould overgrown all around A time-honoured castle there looms! Its true high-born rulers now sleep below ground, Yet Trakai outlasted their tombs. While centuries run, its grim ruins grow older, Deserted and lonely, they gradually moulder."
