Berry season is one of my favorite times of the year. I love walking into the market and being able to load up on TONS of the same berries that would require me to take out a second mortgage for a half pint in December.

Okay, I'm eating a cranberry-orange scone so that's not cruel and unusual....heck, it's a storebought scone, yes it is cruel and unusual to flaunt those in my face first thing in the morning.

I have enough blueberries left to make the blueberry-lavender scones I saw on bakebakebake the other day...

That community tends to make me a little nuts, but every once in awhile it proves worthwhile.

If I make them and they work out, I'll let you know!

Oh, cool trick with the sour milk! I love making Irish soda bread, but hate the fact that buttermilk only comes in quarts, because it ends up sitting in the fridge. I'll have to write that down!

It's one of the best tricks I ever learned, along with the one about how to make your own self-rising flour (a teaspoon or a teaspoon and a half of baking powder with each scant a cup of flour, and add as much as a teaspoon of salt), because, yeah, you don't always need a whole BUNCH of buttermilk. Or self-rising flour!

If you don't have vinegar (you can use either white or apple cider for this, but if you don't have either...), a tablespoon of lemon juice works well, too.

Do it--it had been so long since I baked anything, because it was so hot, that I had forgotten how much fun it is.
