early mornings and pumpkin scones



This morning Jolene and I got up early and went to Starbucks at 7am all because the manager told us that the pumpkin scones would be in today... and that we should get there early because all the regulars were asking for them. So that we did, and to our dismay there were no pumpkin scones to be found. Last week I found a recipe online for the same scones and they were delicious--I guess I was just looking for the experience of the Grande Non-Fat Latte with a warmed pumpkin scone while sitting in Glen Ellyn watching all the commuters try to catch the Metra into Chicago.

The other sad thing is that Starbucks is not going to have the Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffin anymore this year (see below)--I guess they're trying to be all healthy by offering oatmeal and stuff. That will just have to be my next baking endeavour!




Ps. The fish have names... Aiden and Bennett. Aiden is the little one and Bennett is a bit of a bully--and they poop a TON. Who knew that more came out of fish then went in!
