Monday Night and Cherrio!

It never did rain during the day on Sunday, but it did overnight. In fact, I drove into work in a light rain. It sprinkled on an off for most of the day.

I did check the rain gauge when I got home, but it held less than 1/4 of an inch of rain.

As you may remember, since Tuesday morning (7:00 AM - be there or be square) is garbage day, Monday night is clean the fridge time, here. In doing so, I found two remaining hot dogs from last weekend (along with other unmentionable things that just got pitched). So, instead of the beef stew I'd been thinking about all day, I made myself the two hot dogs for dinner (I dislike wasting food).

The buns weren't as lucky as they had mold on them. So, I ate the hot dogs with mustard and onions on two slices of bread.

Then came dessert. Ever since Jeremy had talked about making them and then trying to perfect them, I had wondered what scones tasted like. Well, Sunday, Jake brought me one of his to try. Which is why at 7:30 PM, I was brewing a cup of tea! It was Red Rose and not Earl Gray like it should have been, but yes, folks, tea!

Now there's a debate going on about these particular scones. Jake thinks they are too sweet and Carla thinks they are not sweet enough. So, I think I am being used as a guinea pig.

Hmmm... the texture is more like a dense biscuit than the donut I always pictured. It is slightly sweet, but not too bad (and believe me, I dislike sweet things and would know). I think it would be too much with honey on it (like Carla likes) but plain, it made an excellent dessert.

I went in and watched a taped show, then turned to my book until I fell asleep.
