Woohooo! 1,000! Yay and congratulations on achieving such a massive waste of time milestone......lol!Hmmm....random topic......was at Walmart today and they had scones that you could make like those cookies that are in the 'fridge section? They look interesting, my kid loves scones. Hoping they turn out ok, best part is all I gotta do is divide them and shove them in the oven. No mixing, no prepping, no effort on my part required.There.Was that random enough? LOL(browser spell check is not working!! How am I supposed to know if my over eager tapping fingers made a mistake or not....grrrrr....)

Mmmmmm scooonnesssBlue package (went to go look) the company is called Barista Baking Company and I got the blueberry ones. You get 8 in the package (break and bake) and they cost around $2.50. You pay that much for one at Starbucks so if they are good? What a savings!

Scones are the best. Very easy and cheap to make from scratch too if you have the time. You should post a review of your blueberry ones, Lissa.Random: I am sitting in my apartment listening to the snow slide off my roof (it's warm today). It's super loud, sounds like thunder.

If you need a space heater, I suggest the Presto Heat Dish. Low power, and a lot of heat! That's my random PSA/consumer report for the day. (And posting on this forum from iPhone safari is a PITA!

I'm also looking forward to the snow melting here in my neck of the woods in Indiana. I'm hoping I'll be able to try out my new golf clubs this weekend!

Our son belongs to a junior golf club. I don't like to divulge too much identifying information on the Internet, lol, so won't say the name of the club but they are associated with the PGA and LPGA. The kids get to go to the local tournaments and interact with the pros. They get lessons from pros and they compete in their own league. It's pretty awesome.

For christmas I got him zombie golf club covers, they are so funny.

He is also on a competitive swim team and runs 5Ks. His goal is his first 1/2 marathon by the time he is 13 and first marathon by the age of 18 (his parents are runners, I do two 5 milers a week and his dad is training for the Marine Corps Marathon -- it's a bit involved getting invited to it).

He tells people "I'm not your traditional athlete, I like to do my own thing." He's also on the drummer for the praise band at church, for the band in school, and part of a junior jazz band.

He's my awesome super kid! LOL yes, I'm a bragging mommy.

Where can I purchase a super awesome kid?

Mmmmm scones...suddenly I'm hungry!

I honestly never knew that Americans ate scones! Thought it was a very English thing, guess I'm more ignorant than I realised :(

They call them biscuits and eat them with gravy. These yanks are crazy.

Haha that IS crazy!

Dear Americans, please try scones with a dab of jam and butter, preferably with your morning tea. Your life will be changed forever.

To be fair Lissa is right, they are slightly different than scones, being more savoury. What they call biscuits look like scones though and they do have them with gravy.

And for a proper English Cream Tea, one must have proper tea from the pot (Assam or Earl Grey or possibly Darjeeling), along with cake, biscuits (real ones) and scones with real jam and clotted cream (preferably cornish). [/quote

Mmmmm right now I'm drooling.

I actually haven't had scones in a pretty long time. :shock: It's not something really common here. I must get my hands on some tomorrow!

I want a pic of zuzu and Brockman sitting in the snow on their lawn chairs! If that doesn't work out, we have a hot tub in the back yard surrounded by tons of snow that is really quite delightful. I'm sure Roadblock will be happy to shovel a little path to it so your tootsies don't get too cold scurrying to it from the back door. :wink:

Tee hee hee.
