Look! I’m Baking!

Posted by Willi on Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Dawn is now working (part-time) and I am now a stay at home dad. I could go on and on about the baptism this has been for me the past couple weeks; but the one thing I learned very quickly is talking about children, other people’s children and especially parenting styles and methods in general is a sure way to create a divide among your circle of parents. And by “divide” I mean an inbox full of both support and hate mail! Oh my.

So on a lighter note: I’m baking! Dawn helped with the dough but today I made scones by actually rolling out that dough, putting fillings inside and (gasp) putting them in the oven. I always thought scones would be hard to make because the only people I know who make them are excellent bakers and talk about their scone recipes with great pride.

I don’t claim to make the best scones, but I do claim that making a decent scone is pretty damn easy. That is if you don’t care how they look (I know you’re snickering). Today I tried out several “flavors”. Blueberry, Blackberry (jam) and chocolate (chip).

I’m eating one right now - it’s delicious and the daughter approves (which is all that really matters). I wish I had an espresso machine.

Having said all that if anyone has some scone tips or recipes to share please do.
