Lots...

Hello.

Today I felt like making scones. I love scones. The only recipe I've ever used is one that my dear friend Tammy Weaver gave to me when I stopped working with her in the hospitality department at YWAM Montana. She made me an entire book of recipes...she's an amazing cook. The scones are called, Rebecca's Scones. These scones are so easy and very yummy. Perfect if you're having people over for tea/ coffee...or if you just want to devour some. :)

Recipe:

2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
6 tablespoons of cold butter (the cold part is important in any scone or pie crust)
1 egg
1 cup heavy whipping cream (yum)
1 cup of chocolate chips or berries. You can add whatever you want or leave them plain.

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter till coarse - looks like small peas. You can use a fork, pastry cutter, or food processor...or even hands. Add the wet ingredients until moistened. You can either roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter, or just spoon them onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 for 7-10 mins.

Hope you try these and love them.

A few weekends ago Peter and I got to go watch a movie with my my sister's and their husbands. It was fun. The movie, that I was convinced that I needed to see, was World War Z...I went to my sisters house very afraid. I am not that girl that watches zombie movies or that horrific show Walking Dead...but this movie did look less scary and appeared to have a good/interesting story line.

I spent most of the movie asking Peter when something scary was going to happen...he had already seen it. God blessed me with a husband that allows me to sit next to him with a pillow over my face asking him what's going on...I am thankful. All in all this movie was really good. It was not the gross zombie violence that other movies have going on. I really enjoy Brad Pitt's character and I loved the story line. I did not enjoy the up close encounters with zombies chomping their teeth together. Freaky! Did any of you see this movie? What did you think?

Lastly I leave with you a book that my husband is listening to and that I have been able to listen to a few times. If you need to laugh please read this. It is called, "Dad Is Fat", but Jim Gaffigan. I love him and he makes me laugh. I plan on reading the entire thing. His view on parenting is hilarious.

Thanks guys!
