Weekend Baking... Cream Tea Scones

 

"One cup of flour," I say quietly.

"Are you seriously whispering?" he asks.

I look away from my cup of cream just long enough to glare at him.

"Does volume of someone's voice also affect how a recipe turns out?' he says/

I keep glaring at him.

"Should I sing to the cream?"

Scones for Sunday breakfast... a classic! Several years ago, I was really into making scones. I made every kind you can imagine, and a few of the recipes came from this site, King Arthur Flour. I just came across this recipe recently, so I downloaded it and added it to the new personal cookbook I am making for myself, because sometimes I just want something light for breakfast. I love regular breakfast faire, but I don't need meat at every meal. I am at that fun age, where blood pressure and body swelling is now my main hobbies. I am kidding, of course, but I do want to take better care of myself. Life is short, especially when you are officially elderly. Lordy I hate that word, but if the word fits, eat a scone for breakfast, with a bowl of fruit salad, and a glass of nonfat milk!

Try This awesome recipe, and tell me what you think!

Letter From, Franklin Graham to President Trump

It scares me when he does things like this, posting questions about his own mortality and the hereafter. Trump is erratic. Who knows what's going on in his brain. Is he contemplating suicide? Is he not long for this earth, due to health related issues? And there's no way of knowing because no one with the information is going to tell anyone! It could be as simple as an elderly man processing his life, and contemplating the next chapter, but with Trump things are never as simple as that! All I know is it disturbs me greatly. I am afraid, because at the moment he also behaves like a hopelessly cornered dog, that he will decide that nuking the HELL out of the Middle East is what it means to be the ultimate peacemaker, and therefore worthy of Heaven, despite the repercussions for the rest of us! Too many psychotic people are whispering in his ear. And so begins another week of, will he nukes us, or will he get someone else to do it?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... it's the ultimate theme park ride!
