Tonight I made Mer(i)ry in the Kitchen. I have adapted my trusty Scone Recipe and made two new versions:

1. Eggnog Scones.
I follow the same recipe but instead of 6 tbls of heavy cream, I made half of those egg nog. Also, I upped the cinnamon and nutmeg. I felt the eggnog was sweet enough so I skipped the glaze. Instead I did an egg wash with a sprinkling of turbano sugar before putting the scones in the oven for 12 minutes. YUMMY!

2. Chocolate Scones.
I followed the same recipe and added 1/2 cup high grade Dutch Cocoa. I used a ~~few tablespoons extra~~ a LOT of heavy cream and reduced the amount of cinnamon & nutmeg. I threw in 1/4 tsp of vanilla. Again; a light egg wash and a sprinkling of turbano sugar.

Two batches of each...and I'm ready for the office holiday party tomorrow!

Tonight has been domestic type chores: laundry, cleaning, shopping, tossing out. Tonight is also rubbish and recycling.

I watched the Dork dog flop down in front of the picture window and watch the world go by and had the Frank-n-kitty try to convince me to sit still long enough for her to take a nap in my lap. She's actually quite sulky tonight because I have been industrious...unlike this weekend.

As I was cleaning out the fridge, I remembered two new recipe items I wanted to get down while I was thinking of it.

Pomegranate Italian Soda and
Chocolate Mousse. Both of which are low-carb friendly (of concern to me and blood sugar at least.)
