I is for….. International Scone Week!
I was going to do a deeply serious post
‘No! no, not another one’
begged the iMac
and for once I listened. So you have been spared my learned treatise on etymology and the roots of words like inspiration = in + breathe and another one that took my fancy last night : integrity - from the word ‘integer’ meaning ‘untouched, undivided, a complete entity’ .
This is a cheaty sort of post and I promise I will make some scones this weekend but just to remind you that it is International Scone Week starting today...
Starting today? Cool! :) xx
Not today? Rats 🐭
Then my apple calendar has got it wrong, How about Scone Fortnight then ? :D Anyway, it gives people time to think about it if they want to make them, was going to suggest a twitter hashtag maybe too #sconeweek, or fortnight?
No reason not to start today. is there?
Apple calendar can’t be wrong.
Besides *fortnight* is one of those words I always like to use, like *Nor’easter*-
let’s do it ladies!
Hi Sconeteer! When shall we three meet again? Scone enchanted evening?
Brian has just offered me his scone joke collection and as I have suffered I thought I would share the burden
What do you call a fast moving scone? (this is where how you pronounce it has an influence…)
S’… gone!!!! ( as in Vroom!,,,,,but pronounced as in Ron)
LOL- Joanna- I can see that you have suffered greatly. And although I have tried to introduce the British pronounciation of scones here in the US- most people balk and refuse-scone- as in stone- because the tea shops make them very solid and rather heavy- is what we eat here.
I’ve put up my first entry- scutterbotch scones.
He who makes dreadful jokes, uses both pronounciations interchangeably anyway, Those scutterbotches looked absolutely amazing!
I heard about this from Celia. I’m definitely going to have to bake some scones this week and I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last made scones! xx
I baked some last night and am sitting here quietly munching (shhh, it’s 4.30 am) and I don’t think I have made them for ages either, so you are not alone :)
Scones re-blogged are just as good as the scones from Aug 2011. Beautiful.
Love it :). Scone enchanted evening and scutterbotch scones. I’ve just discovered that my iPad doesn’t have a sense of humor and is also American! I really had to pull rank with scutterbotch. I felt like beating it about it’s prissy little scone. I’m tempted to make some secret-veggie scones for my grandson but my scones are usually heavy enough to be Tom-cat missiles.
