Glad to see you made it through the gauntlet. It may be frustrating but it is an evil necessity these days to keep the spammers out, most of them coming from countries most of us probably couldn't find on a map. (I'm must be on at least a half dozen WordPress-driven sites these days, I think mine is kind of in the middle for Draconian-ness.)
There's a different card from me en route, Cass, might not get there until Thursday, though.
Something like this may work for you:
http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200442219My mother spent hours every winter sitting at the kitchen table with a sad iron and a tack hammer cracking walnuts.
The rosetta and the michetta stamps look similar, the difference is the rosetta stamp probably doesn't make as deep an impression, since it doesn't have gaps in it. Other than that, I think they'd be pretty interchangeable, and either would be fine with me.
We definitely want the cast aluminum one as opposed to the plastic one, though.
Sorry, but my wife promised the caterer she got her scones recipe from years ago that she would not redistribute it. (I have a French Onion soup recipe I got from my French teacher with the same conditions, because that's the conditions under which she got it from a chef in France, she's only allowed to give it to her students.)
But search for buttermilk scones on the net, there may be similar recipes out there.
Nice websurfing, Laura. $30 (more or less) is not an unreasonable price, but I wonder what shipping/import duties would be?
I need to print a portion of that webstore page out so that I can show people EXACTLY what I'm after.
These days I'm increasingly likely to measure small amounts of ingredients using my small digital scale, which weighs in 0.1 gram increments. I started doing this with pie doughs and filling, where I had the recipe in Baker's Math format.
I may try looking for a rosetta stamp at J. P. Graziano Grocery in Chicago, if anybody in this country knows where to find one, it'll be them.
Here's a thread on rosetta rolls that I don't recall from the last time I searched on that subject:

It looks like she's trying the types of stamps more readily available in the USA.
I found remilled semolina flour on Amazon, if there was an Italian grocery store in town, I'd check there. Maybe I'll be able to find some when I'm in Chicago this fall or have my wife/son check the Italian grocery store in Monroeville PA when she's there later this summer. (They could have the right stamp, too, worth at least asking.)
Would they use metric measurements? Try searching for 'metric measuring spoons'.
Wasn't it Frick who was going to look around for a true Italian rosette stamp when she was there a year or so ago? Did any one save the 'Bread I had in Italy' thread from the old BC?
Followup: Rottiedogs has posted that thread. Thanks!
