Best wishes for a less exciting life for a while! Glad you were able to make these — they were really good, weren’t they?

My first time here and I must say everything looks so incredibly YUMMY! I love savoury stuff and just the sound of that title made me go *yay*! Then the photos…OMG I want at least a dozen of these. May I? Pretty please?

Your dogs are the CUTEST! I know that feeling of driving back and forth to doggie daycare! I have a 15 month old Australian Shepherd that can’t just stay anywhere! haha! Your scones look fantastic!

Your scones look great. I don’t know how you found the time with life and all getting in the way. I know who to contact if I have some printing to do;)

Man, you are one busy woman, I can’t believe you had the time/energy to make the scones and the danish. Your pictures look so good, they really captured the texture of the scone.

If salad cancels out butter, I’ve got to go buy some more lettuce–now! I hope life settles down for you soon. Great job getting all that baking done in the middle of everything else going on.

I don’t mean to make comedy of your hardships, but your Star Wars metaphor had me rolling. Oh how true the old adage is about anything that can go wrong. I’m glad your doggies found a happy place to be while you were away. Your scones look mahvelous! I’m also smitten with your rye bread and your passion fruit braid. All this fab baking is such a great outlet, eh?

They were lovely weren’t they? We loved the scones too…as for butter…well I think I am keeping the local specialty food store in business over here!

Our 4 year-old son is lactose intolerant so I have the extra challenge of finding butter and cream substitutes to enjoy TWD. But it is most certainly worth it…it’s just such fun!!!

Hope everything settles down…

What you need are some of these scones and a month of ‘uneventful’ days ;))
What a whirlwind of a post and month.
I’ll have to try the scones. Love butter in the freezer!
I think you are super woman today!!

Okay, I am officially exhausted just thinking about this post…LOL. And, I didn’t even participate in any of it. I can’t believe that you found time to cook and post through all of that…some sort of reward should be in the offing, don’t you think? Maybe the scones were the reward! They were that good…yes, they were. Your scones look wonderful…very light and melty looking, just beautiful.

Your scones look terrific! You have had quite a couple of weeks!

JacqueOH said in July 1st, 2008 at 5:04 pm

I agree… they’re delish. I keep grabbing a bite of one thinking “oh, just one bite”. Which turns into one more and one more and next thing I know my scone is gone.

Aaaanyway, great job getting through this challenge. I am tired just reading about your life. Congrats on the new rocketship, er, printer!

I totally understand about the doggie situation. My Charlie is my baby and I wouldn’t just entrust him to anyone! Your scones look great!

Ohhh…if I were your neighbor….

I would have loved to care for the dogs, weed your garden, and help you clean out the storage unit. And then I would eat all of your scones!

It was a pleasure reading your TWD apple cheddar blog this evening. I too, used frozen cheddar.

Your doggies are precious! Glad everything worked out for you. I’ll be leaving my Siamese for 4 days and he’ll go crazy without us. My son will be sleeping here to care for him and our other animals.

Loved the scones…your vacation sounds as busy as mine. Thankfully my husband was still at home to handle the dog issues the first week. (he joined us for the second week)

Now THAT’S a printer. Wish I’d thought to sub the juice with half-and-half. I just used water, which added nothing. Good idea!

Oh, Dorie… she’s always there to cheer you up with scones or something, isn’t she?
Glad you like the scones and a little sad about not making them after such reviews…
I hope you get to rest this long weekend.
