    I am in an unusually good mood today. Even for a Friday. Maybe it was the donut, or the smoked pork (sorry pof) I had a little bit ago, but regardless, I'm feeling really good today, and I hope someone doesn't piss me off and ruin it.
    Great! Enjoy it. I've just eaten two warm scones with my homemade clotted cream (recipe in Batcave - too good to not share!) and strawberry jam, and that's also given me a rather nice sense of well-being. Have a great weekend!


    I want a scone!!
    If I throw it hard enough, will it get to you?

    Can you throw hard enough to make it to Kansas?! I love scones and strawberry jam. I have no idea what clotted cream is, but I'm sure I'd love it too.

    Also, thanks, you have a great weekend too!

    Do you think they would arrive more easily if she clicked two scones together three times while saying, "There's no place like home!"?
    I tried it. Did it work?

    Did we not have a conversation about that a few hundred pages back? Maybe when you were on vacation.
    It's sent from the heavens and looks like this:
    s5a9gkx8ntnw.jpg

    It looks a bit like butter, is it like butter? It sort of looks like frosting too maybe. It's hard to tell from the picture. I think I'm going to have to taste it to REALLY find out. Ya, know, just to be sure.

    Custard is the American word, Mo.

    @MoHousdon Yay for a good mood! I bet it was the donut AND the walk...both are fabulous.

    I'm in a pretty great mood, too, as I am on vacation all next week! AND I'm eating the most delicious salad for lunch right now. It's all good over here, too!
    Ooh, nice. What are you going to do?

    Visting some family in Idaho (shout out to @quiksylver296 ) for much of the week. They have a lovely place near a river in the Coeur d'Alene area, so we will be fishing, hiking, and playing with our niece and nephews. Very much looking forward to it! Also visiting my sister and her twin babies on our way back home. SUPER excited for that! I adore my sister and those nieces of mine. They are about 1 1/2 years old and into EVERYTHING...they make me laugh and smile and wonder at the ability of every parent to keep going when utterly exhausted.

    Hoping to get some zombie runs in, too, maybe on a trail instead of a sidewalk!

    It most definitely is not. :)

    Nope, should have been with you first, allowing for the time difference.

    Oh gosh - forgot to say @Tubbs216 - You must be so proud of your oldest for going through with such a grown up interview! I hope he gets the job.

    Great news that your daughter's tests came back normal! Excellent!

    I must admit that the name "clotted cream" makes me gag. I have this horrible aversion to milk specifically because it gets all clumpy and sooooo groooosssss when it starts to spoil. So "clotted cream" translates into "rotten nasty milk" for me.

    The worst part is that I've never actually tried clotted cream, as it's not a thing here in the US. I bet I'd LOVE it if I tried it elsewhere AND if they didn't tell me that's what I was eating. Just call it... ummm... buttery pudding... or sweetened cream.... or... well, anything but "clotted". Hee hee

    That sounds lovely! Toddlers are such fun, especially when you can give them back at the end of the day. Hope you have a great time!

    Yes, I think that reaction is quite common! Regarding availability in N America, I read around a lot when I was looking for a recipe to try, and there were SO MANY Americans looking for some way to replicate the fabulous cream they'd had when visiting the UK. It surprises me that nobody has started marketing it over here - apart from the nasty bottled stuff, which doesn't compare to fresh.

    Thanks for your thoughts about my kids. You're very sweet. :)

    Ditto to all of this.
    I already mentioned it when the subject of clotted cream came up last time...but omg, it's a horrible name..looks delicious but that name, not so much!

    Enjoy your vacation!!!

    I'm glad you said this, because I know of several stores that sell it in jars and that's how I was going to buy it, but now, I won't bother. I wonder if I could get Mr. Mo to make some. Is it difficult. Eh, if he's making it, I don't care how difficult it is. :wink:

    Oh, and I haven't received my scone yet. I will watching the heavens for it this evening. :smiley:

    Super easy, if you have a slow cooker. See recipe in Batcave.
    It's raining here - that might affect the scone delivery velocity.
