Don't Eat The Scones


I couldn't wait to eat these delicious scones, with our morning coffee, that my multi- talented sister Polly  had dropped by (one of the  many treats of living near family).

Polly (on the right), is a successful professional, a talented crafter, short story writer and fabulous photographer.
So, I am not sure how she has also found the time to take cooking lessons. Sometimes, I think some people have more hours in their day than I do! This weekend, she signed  up for a cooking class at an Artisan Baking Co. to hone her skills at making pie crust, biscuits and scones.

Polly had a ball. She was doing a lot of talking and picture taking and didn't hear the correct instructions for  the scones........ which were: "add  three teaspoons of baking soda" She thought she heard " add three tablespoons baking soda." The story has a happy ending though...she quickly sent me the following text::
 DON'T EAT THE SCONES!"
Have you ever had a cooking disaster?

  1. i am laughing! yes, as children, we were taught to bake desserts for the family as soon as we could read and stir. one of my first attempts was apple crisp - except i misread 1/4 tsp as 1/4 cup - salt. even the barn cats wouldn't touch it...

  6. Funny! I have had quite a few cooking disasters. Thankfully they were all quite some time ago and I rarely repeated the same mistake twice ~ live and learn.
    Your multi-talented sister has a lovely sister too {you!}.
