2019: The Year In Which I Cook All The Things

That’s the plan anyway.

The idea is simple.  When the mood strikes, make it.  Stop saving recipes and poring over cookbooks and websites and thinking about making something “someday”.  In the words of a popular global company: Just Do It.

The very first day of January saw this in action and I hope to keep it up! We had company, which, after YEARS of living in a tiny home and not having the space for company, is something we’re re-learning how to do.  Funny how one gets out of the routine of having company.  Fortunately, we have friends and family who have not minded being guinea pigs.  So the first of January found our friends at the door, with freshly smoked meats in hand, and I set out to round out a meal.  As the day went on, more dishes came to mind, so I made them.  Right then and there.  And we had way too much food and had such a great time together.

So this morning after dropping off my daughter at work and driving home feeling like I could use a few more hours of sleep, I decided I really wanted to eat some scones for breakfast.  Orange and cranberry scones to be specific.  I looked through a few recipes and decided that a recipe from Ina Garten fit the bill perfectly.

I was not disappointed.  They came together quickly and taste incredible.  Full of orange and cranberry and so light, tender and buttery.  Delicious.   I’m simply going to link the recipe here instead of posting it today, but I will mention just a few changes I made.

One: I cut the recipe in half and it worked just fine.  No adjustments needed other than to use half of everything.

Two: I did not use a mixer to mix the scone dough.  Scones are so light and fluffy, I just feel that using a mixer would toughen it up drastically.  It’s not difficult to cut butter in with a pastry blender, and then you mix in the liquid JUST until combined.

Three: No rolling and cutting out the dough with shapes.  These are scones.  I patted the dough into a circle and then used a pizza wheel to cut that circle into twelve triangles.  No wasted dough and no over-working it which can, again, lead to tough scones.

Make them.  You’ll be glad you did.
