yesterday a friend dropped off a purple parcel for me…

in it were two packages… the first was wrapped in foil and was filled with five beautiful scones… still warm from the oven…

the second was also wrapped, but in purple paper… in it was a lovely tea mug with a strainer…

I barely unwrapped the scones before I buttered one, put jam on it and scoffed it down…

the mug is clean now and ready for some loose tea;-)…

yesterday I finally got around to making rhubarb scones…

I’ve had the recipe for a few weeks but it has been too hot to make them…

I was especially interested as the recipe used canola oil instead of butter… I wondered if they would end up being dense and heavy, but they turned out light and fluffy and very tasty…

they may have been the best scones I’ve made;-)…

and were delicious warm with pro-activ on them… I think they would also be great with warm cheese on them;-)…

got a text this afternoon from a wonderful friend advising she was going to drop something off…

one day last week I had gathered up some Virginia creeper vines and she had picked them up, so I think this was a little thank you…

I was excited because she makes the world’s best scones… and I was hoping that was what she was bringing…

we had a lovely chat and exchanged items… she got a card from my stash for Mother’s Day, and I got craisin scones, made with sweetener, and some purple napkins… I think I got the best of the deal, lol…

I said I wasn’t going to eat them until tomorrow, but I had to have a taste, lol…

what a lovely surprise…

I love scones and have a friend who makes the best ones ever… of course, she can’t make any for me just now…

have had a recipe for tea biscuits up on the cupboard door for weeks…

last night I finally made it and had biscuits for my supper…

and a late night snack…

and my breakfast;-)…

and possibly another late night snack;-)…

unfortunately I should not be eating this much bread all at once, but tea biscuits need to be eaten while they are fresh… right, lol…

clearly they were delicious, although not as good as my friend’s scones;-)…

on Sunday we had breakfast out at Stan’s Diner, which seems to be similar to the “A”…

then a trip to pick up mushrooms, maple syrup, bread, a raspberry scone, and squash…

we also tasted truffle butter and truffle ice cream;-)…

then home for a relaxing day…

here’s how my evening has gone…

just after four thirty I climbed into the car to head home for my two week vacation… woo hoo…

for my supper I had raisin scones with melted cheese and a side of radishes… the scones were a gift from a colleague… I love them and am always thrilled when she brings them to work for any occasion… what a lovely treat…

to finish my evening I had some of my Ginger Peach Teamate with almonds and the last bit of hummingbird chocolate maker’s 85% Hispaniola…

pretty excellent start to my vacation…

had some fun with recipes the last few days…

got this from a colleague… she makes the best scones and I am always asking for them so the other day she gave me the recipe… it was written on a recipe card by her mom…

had to call her a few times to clarify what to do, lol… pulled out my Purity cookbook to review steps…my BS buddies came by and they were able to provide a few more bits of info… baked them at 450 instead of the 400 noted on the card… they came out great… so busy I never even got a picture of them other than this one which I ate with the amazing chocolate raspberry jam that we picked up when I was in southern Ontario…

we talked about how often those older recipes didn’t provide much direction, lol…

today I made coleslaw from a recipe I received from a matriarch of the church over thirty years ago… the recipe is written for a huge crowd…

it has been reduced down a number of times, and when I make it now it is certainly way smaller…

came out fabulous, as always…
