Today I made Blueberry Sour Cream scones with a KABC mix I was gifted at Christmas. Disappointing. Too dry to come together, so I added 3 tablespoons of milk. Flavor is fine. But the dried blueberries are hard as rocks; I'm afraid of breaking a tooth or two. I baked them for 15 minutes, as suggested, and the scones are not overbaked.

Have never done take-out. But grill a lot. Leftovers tonight.

I made burger buns today, subbing 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour and adding generous shakes of garlic and onion powder.

No cooking tonight -- dinner was fried seafood at a local restaurant.

Thanks, everyone. I find that brushing a tablespoon or two of heavy cream on the crust makes it look extra special. This is an old recipe from my husband's family, the kind that says "bake in a moderate oven" and no specific details.

I made chicken thighs, wild rice, and cauliflower for dinner tonight.

Dinner tonight was ham and cheese sandwiches on rye, with potato chips.

Today I made my husband's birthday cake - it's a two-crust cream pie.

We had pasta with a sausage, onions, and peppers marinara (from the freezer, so just needed to cook the cavitappi) and a green salad.

I've made seafood salad, cauliflower salad, and a green salad for our dinner. It feels almost like spring here, 41* with temps in the 40s predicted for the next week or more. The 20 inches of snow we got 2 weeks ago is almost gone.

I would love to be stranded in San Diego for a few days -- my favorite city in the world! I'm sure they took advantage of the delay and it didn't cause any serious problems.

Today I made bagels.

We had boneless pork chops and parsnips, butternut squash, sweet potato, Brussel sprouts, and onion, all roasted on one pan.

I made a huge pot of chili - we each had a bowl for dinner, but the rest will go into the freezer.

I was given a new Acu-Rite weather station, since mine was fried during our power outage Dec 16-17. I love checking rain and temperature recordings during gardening season. And I bought myself a new computer. I got my old one on Sept 12, 2012, so it is 10 years old. It's become a little slow and persnickity lately, and most all the letters have worn off the keyboard.
