Scrumptious Scones

I've recently become addicted to scones. I never used to like them...not sweet enough for my taste. I was always a sugary cereal or donut eater in the morning. As I've gotten older my tastes have changed.

So far, my favorite is Alterra's blueberry scone. It has the perfect blend of blueberries with a hint of lemon. It's not too doughy and is crumbly. The best part about it is that it is extremely filling and satisfying.

This morning I decided to try my hand at making my own scones...cherry chocolate chip. Not a bad first effort, but I'm going to try a different recipe next time. I want to see if I can replicate the Alterra one.

I've also been inspired by my sister-in-law who created these amazing hats for the girls for Christmas. She said she learned to knit by watching videos on the internet. I was thinking of looking into a class, but this sounds like a more economical appproach so I've decided to give it a try. My other sister-in-law also knits so I've got someone locally who can help me when I get stuck. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
