I miss you so much! I don't know how to describe it or put it into words so I won't even try, It would come out being so dumb and inadequate anyway. I just want you to know I love you. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers.

So Crys I hear that you wanted to make them at least one more time before giving up...SO... I have the perfect recipe for people like us. They say that the difference between biscuits and scones is that scones take cream instead of milk and my sweet friend Aich gave me this recipe that she said she found to be the only one she liked that used milk instead. I tried making them for the first time in my life at the PMA graduation (I went as the cook) and TG! they turned out GREAT! (Thanks so much Aich!) So without further ado...the recipe.

Scones
3 cups of flour
1\2 cup sugar
5 tsp baking powder
1\2 tsp salt
3\4 cup of butter (could use less)
1 egg (beaten)
1\2~3\4 cup of milk (could use up to 1 cup)
1\2 cup nuts, rasions, choco chips etc...

combine the dry, cut in butter. Add nuts. Mix the egg and milk. Add, stir till just moist. Kead 8 times. Roll and cut into 8 wedges. Bake 15 min or until golden brown.

-Oven 400F\ 200C lightly grease

And Tada! The end result. Walnut scones....and

Chocolate\walnut scones.

They double in size and become quite big....I was so happy they turned out, even the first time around. There is hope! The trick is though to really NOT handle it as much as possible! Enjoy! I know Everyone else did. They all wanted the recipe after they ate them.

These were taken a while ago to show Mika my love for the bear she got me; She got one for each of us sisters who live in Japan. Mari got green, and Mika kept pink and gave light blue to me. I slept with it every night that Gene was away (now Gene has taken it's place on the bed next to me) Besides from it being incredibly soft and cute...I love the little tuft atop his head ;P I LOVE IT! THANKS MIKS!

This is first of all a post for daddy! Thanks for the wonderful salad you treated me to while I was there. I had flashbacks of Italy with every bite I took. I was truly in Heaven. Check this out! (Aren't you jealous.) That there is salad topped with real imported Parmesan cheese, curdo salami, and olives. YUM!

Next is something I made recently and will make for you guys too, if we ever have that Italian pasta night/ family gathering thingy that you want me go over and cook for. :)

It's...kida European? Italian/French ehe! It's french bread that's toasted and buttered. The topping is made up of diced fresh tomatoes with basil, salt and olive oil. Very simple and yummy.
And preferably... (depending on how much cash you have or what comes in provisioning( TOM HOME!), ditch the butter and go for Camembert cheese instead. It's a delight! (at least I think so)

And last but not least some old pix of a day out with Andy...these were the kings of the hamburger world I'll tell you! SO fresh and nice. This is mine, a saute burger with mushrooms and cheese. (you HAD to eat it with a knife and fork, it was too big to try and pick up)
Laura's was triple cheese or something like that.
Andy and his egg sandwiches and chocolate milk shake.

Two days ago Gabe & I celebrated (or should have) our 4th year anniversary since we got together!
Yay for us!
