>My new spice containers arrived yesterday from Crate and Barrel. The arrived late in the afternoon, but right before we left for grocery shopping. I was thrilled since it meant I could load up on spices at Sprouts. π Only one glass container broke during shipping, one of the medium storage canisters that I also ordered. I will call customer service on Monday morning too see if I can replace it without too much hassle.
I am exhausted and a large part of that is my own fault. I’ve been lax about walking lately and I’m not going to make excuses for myself. I am going back on the morning walk regime tomorrow and I am going to start trying to fit in yoiga/pilates on a regular basis as well. I am tired of how I feel when I don’t walk and it stops here and now. π
The scones I made on Friday morning were amazing! Honestly, I couldn’t believe how good the scones turned out. I split the batter in half making blueberry and plain. I coated the top of the scones with half and half and sprinkled with sugar in the raw. The scones were crunchy and sweet without being overly sweet. I am very pleased with how they turned out and I will definitely be making again, especially since the base recipe is so receptive to additions.
My best girlfriend arrives next week on a business trip. I miss her. I cherish the time she gets to spend with us when she is out of town. Funny, how I miss having local girlfriends only when she visits. It is hard to explain, I’ve never had a lot of friends and I cherish those I make for a life time. It has been difficult to make friends the older I get when I don’t have much in common with woman my age. Good thing, I know that I can count on the ones I have whenever I need a friend. π
