Sweet morning, Sweet day



I took some vacation days a few weeks ago, when the school got out for summer--to feel the celebratory shift in schedule.

On this day, I drew all day, on assignment!, and drank coffee all day, and made scones. with chocolate chips.

Cream Scones, p 640
+ tiny chocolate chips, because they were in my refrigerator.

Cream scones are so ridiculously much easier than Classic Scones that I'm not sure why anyone would make the classic ones. Pour heavy cream vs. chop cold butter and cut it into a flour mixture, beat eggs separately, and pour heavy cream? obviously pouring heavy cream wins. "Heavy cream provides both the fat and the liquid in this simplest of all scone recipes." yes! Plus you end up with ideal scones.

t - so you are not acknowledging the smartest and cutest baby born in KC in the last decade because he decided to break out a little early? Miranda and Zach are wonderful parents. It is like they were both born to take on this awesome task. I do not see them stubbling around like me. Hope all is well with you in Portland. Joe
