Mmmm, I have a batch of chocolatey brownies in the oven so I'll take a moment to share with you what I made this morning, one of my favorite tasty treats:

Mmmmhm... yum! I am so bookmarking this. They look delicious, thanks for sharing the recipe.
I am in the process of preparing tomorrow's Easter breakfast/brunch. I can't wait to eat all the good food :)

Happy Easter, hun! And get well soon! ♥

[winterspel]

Eeee, I'm so glad you like it! :)

My health is much better now, so that's one of the good things that came with the weekend. It was terrific, and I hope yours went well, too! ♥

Yummmmmmm! Having been lucky enough to try your various scone creations, these are just making my mouth water :-) I can almost smell them....

Figured it was time to say a quick hello! Sorry to hear you're not feeling great. Look for an email...

Hugs,

ps-Merlin is now bigger than Gwyn! (He's 7mos on friday) I'll send a pix or two :-)

Hey there! I've been meaning to call you too and find out how you were doing with the new job, etc. Thanks so much for the email and the pics. I'm going to give you a call, though, because I know there is lots we need to catch up on! *hugs*

The scones are very good! Have you ever made scones before? If not, here are a few unsolicited tips

They'll definitely keep (air tight) for a few days, so no worries on that account. The fresher, the tastier, though.

No need to use clotted cream! Just ordinary heavy cream (sometimes the carton says "whipping cream"), any brand is fine.

Let me know how they turn out! :) Oh, and one other thing, if your baking powder is really old, get new baking powder, because it does have a shelf life and old baking powder doesn't really make things rise any more.

I love making scones, so I'm full of advice. :D Just remember that baking is chemistry and requires a bit more precision than other kinds of cooking, and you'll be ok.
