the view from my side of the desk

Both the mister and I are working from home so we've moved a spare kitchen table from the garage to the homestead. It backs up against the sofa with me at one end, the mister at the other. This is confusing to the cat (did I tell you we have a new cat?) and so she does this, because the mister is her favorite.

daily walk: a new route

 


a pandemic tradition, I hope

 

Aka weekend scones. We had buttermilk and so I gave the mister puppy dog eyes and asked him if he could make is famous buttermilk scones, which are really from a recipe I found, but I just hate combing the cold butter to the flour. I have no idea why but it irks me. Scones are my favorite favorite and so I puppy dog eye it up and the mister makes the dough the night before and I bake them up the next morning. These have chopped crystallized ginger in them. SO GOOD! I would share the recipe if I could remember where I found it. I hope I can convince him to make a batch of dough every weekend. Fingers crossed!
