Now the sun is out

A gloomy start to the day, but now the sun is back.

Here are some highlights from the past week.

Grilled chicken... with Cherry Republic Cherryaki sauce.

Some truly lovely lavender scones. More elegant than they looked.

And here's a very nice date nut bread. The recipe comes from fellow Michigander Maureen Abood's terrific blog.

New bowls. Very exciting.

Mason Cash bowls. In the forest.

Some scones. KAF recipe. Dried cherries and toasted almonds. I froze these overnight and baked them in the morning—then took them to a meeting. Pretty pleasing.

Pumpkin, part 1

Saturday was WVU football and pumpkin scones, KAF recipe. With white chocolate and cappuccino chips. Super delicious.

More Autumn

It's chilly, suddenly. Here's some food to go with the season.

First, macaroni and cheese. The recipe comes from Leite's Culinaria.

That was Saturday. On Sunday I made these scones. Scottish, the recipe said, because of the oats. Christmas, it said, because, I assume, of the cranberries. At first I wasn't so impressed, but later... I thought they were very good.

Finally, here's one of "my" fawns, looking all grown-up.
