Of biscuity scones and salty cakes.

I'm merry cos suddenly a lot of my s_ are baking or cooking... Which means Free Food! Not just free food but Free Delicious Food!!

I suddenly remembered a remark I made to D_ on the way to the meeting - that every Christmas I get this sudden urge to bake. Which is funny, cos the last time I baked, it was in home economics class in secondary 2. It's weird, like my thoughts of beautifully baked cookies (I like the soft ones), brownies and SCONES (I LURVE scones!!!) would actually materialise as easily as I imagined. Of course not lah, the last time I baked was more than 10 years ago!

I still remember one funny baking incident in my home ec class, didn't happen to me, but to my classmates.... We were baking butter cakes, and they mixed up the sugar with the salt! We only knew when our teacher tasted it. She had this weird look on her face, kinda like didn't know whether to laugh or not. My classmate burst into tears, but the teacher comforted her saying that she would just mark them on the cooking skills and presentation. Seriously, it was a beautiful normal butter cake - except it was salty.

Later at recess, we started monkeying around, tricking people into sampling the salted cake. Hahaha... that was funny.

Yesterday G_ sms D_ that she was making scones and bringing to the meeting. Visions of beautifully large scones - with those raisin thingys, started appearing. When I saw the basket covered with cloth, I gave thanks for a friend like G_. The moment I uncovered the basket...

??!!!

The SCONES ARE FLAT??!

G_ was apologetic, but my visions of beautiful scones shattered. Tentatively I took a bite of the biscuity scone.

It was salty.

....

-_-;

However when I reached the middle of the bisuity scone, I started tasting that lovely milky taste that I know to be - SCONE. Even for that brief moment, I was contented.

I'm off to attend Christmas tea at G_'s. I think she's trying to redeem for my shattered visions of scones. So before I leave, I would like to once again say thanks to G_. I'm once again having revived visions of beautiful scones - with the raisins thingies.
