Fait accomplis

I've gotten a lot done in the past 4 hours. Really if I could just get moving for the entire day my apartment wouldn't be such a disaster, but somehow I sit down and get sucked in to TV and computer and other time wasting crap and I sit... and think ok 15 more minutes. :) Doesn't work so well. Anyway, I've done dishes. Thanks to the Gluten Free Pantry, I made scones. Last time you will recall they were freakishly dry. (I know they are supposed to be dry but I think those went beyond the appropriate dryness. I don't remember my cool Irish student teacher friend Marion's being that dry. Her's were amazing. but I digress) So this time I used apple sauce instead of butter and yogurt instead of buttermilk. They were definitely stickier than they were last time. I rolled the whole mess in cinnamon & sugar (like snickerdoodles) and baked. When they came out of the oven I had to have a tiny taste. Which led to another tiny taste. Which led to me just giving up and eating one. It was GOOD! I also realized I hadn't eaten since earlier in the day and what I had for lunch? Lays chips and cheese. Not really a meal I suppose. Right now I have Moroccan Chicken cooking and I'm watching Video Mods. Of all shows on MTV2, I find Video Mods the most fascinating. Maybe because it is the closest thing to videos that MTV2 shows. :) But they take songs and create a music video out of video game characters or video game beasts. It's pretty cool in a totally geeky way.

It isn't a recipe actually. The Gluten Free Pantry makes a muffin & scone mix that I use. Instead of the stick of butter, I used 1/2 cup of cinnamon applesauce. (The individual serving sizes are what I buy and one of those is approximately 1/2 cup). And instead of the buttermilk it calls for I used 1 container of vanilla yogurt. I then rolled each scone in a mix of 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Turned out really good, even where some of the dough folded over onto itself, so there were these cinnamon/sugar swirls in the middle of the scone.

Did you email Fishy?

If she is thinking of moving somewhere other than Seattle let me know. I have a vast knowledge of the rest of the state. ;)

Congrats on your scones, I know you were disappointed last time.

BTW, I have the same problem with getting things done sometimes. Seems the only time I can stay really focused is if I am under a time crunch...
