Twilight. Need I say anymore? If you don’t have a clue what I am talking about, you must not have any form of a teenage girl in your life. All my oldest daughter has talked about for weeks has been the release of the Twilight movie based on the series by Stephanie Meyer. The two of us read the series together this summer and I can understand why a 14 year old girl would go crazy for this series/movie. I had even given her permission to go to the midnight show with her friends tonight, a school night! I was in the “awesome Mom” category for a few days which was great. Then the true to life categories of “horrible, mean, unfair and stupid Mom” reemerged when I had to take away that privilege due to some bad decisions on her part.

You are not old…yet. Stop talking like that or you’ll get some oldish plague or something. 🙂 So, even without a teenager in our home, I still cringe as I read your latest blog. Where do children learn how to do this to parents? You are a nice mom for making scones to bridge the gap. Hope all is well…what are you making for Thanksgiving this year? Anything fancy? Your avid readers need menu ideas!! Adios, Carole!

These scones sound wonderful! In fact, all of your scone recipes that I’ve read so far – I’ve bookmarked! I’d like to make mini scones for a Tea. Do you have any suggestions as to how to adjust the recipe. Thank you!
Hey Debra! Just cut them the size that you would like them, realizing they will grow bigger as they bake. You will want to reduce the baking time as well and that will all depend on how small you cut them.
