First time for scones

I have been a fan of the Orangette blog for years, and really enjoyed reading her book A Homemade Life. It was a lovely memoir, where food and family and memories intersect. The stories were endearing, and many of the recipes are included. One for Scottish scones had been on my to do list for months. I finally gave it a try and they were wonderful.

By the way those chunks of butter were brought home from Cheese-making Class. Fresh butter is so delicious!

Cheese class

I took a cheese making class! It ran kind of late on a weeknight, and when it was all made and portioned out, I bolted home and forgot to take any pictures. Though here is one during the prep phase. I made mozzarella, but left with recipes for ricotta, queso fresco, and even mascarpone. I will need to make some fresh mozzarella again at home when tomatoes start to look really good, and put it altogether in a caprese salad. Still a couple of months away..
