  4. In addition to the butter in the recipe, we would carefully butter each bite. They look delicious. Congratulations on the first house! But I warn you, it will be Cashew's house, not yours. ;)

  5. Chocolate chip bagels and scones are my ultimate breakfast treat.

    Congrats on the house! I understand your packing grief. I hate packing.

    1. Mmm I love chocolate chip bagels even more than scones. I'm more of a bread person than a biscuit/scones person.

  6. Those are beautiful looking scones, so golden brown :)

    Yay, for renting a house! We moved into the house we're renting 2 years ago. It's nice having so much space, but I really dread moving again because now we have even more stuff.

  8. I love scones however I can get em!! And we have a ton of stuff, though I think our real problem is COOKBOOKS. And by "our" I obviously mean mine.

  10. i love scones and I know it's a sacrelige to say this, but I think Americans do scones better than the Brits. There! I said it!

    Lucky you moving into a house. Kevin and I are looking to unload the condo and buy at house at the end of 2015/beginning of 2016 when we're in a position to pay off our current mortgage. I can't wait to have a bigger kitchen so I can have everything I need to equip it! Actually, I have almost everything I need. I just need to be able to store it and organize it better. I also want more dishes. I'm a sucker for china!

    I too own a fancy cherry pitter that I asked for. I have no idea how to use it. I can't get it to work properly. I make cherry pies about once every 2-3 years and still pit my cherries sitting on the floor in front of the TV with a knife, two bowls, and a big towel. Maybe I'll figure it out. I'm developing a recipe for a cherry cobbler right now that I want to make for my next dinner party (whenever that happens). I should give it another shot. I feel guilty getting rid of that pitter!
