Scones

I've never attempted scones. I always thought you needed a special pan to make them just right. I was wrong.

Tuesday night, when realized I had a quiet evening ahead, I decided to do some therapeutic baking, took my room mate's dog to tag along with me, and headed to the store to get my favorite chocolate chips. Ghiradelli's 60 percent.

Teamed with this recipe from Joy the Baker, I set to work. And before I knew it, I had scones. Six delicious scones.

They were so good in fact, that I made them again Saturday night. Highly recommended and much simpler than I thought they'd be. Done and done.

After taking a bit of a blogging hiatus and using Tumblr as an outlet to share things creatively, I realized I still needed a place to share thoughts and observations in a way that would encourage me to write creatively about my daily life.

It felt strange to not have an outlet to share things in a public forum of sorts.

So ... here it is.

I'll be back soon.
