Mama Post: September 19

Carlyn has made an endorsement in the Presidential race.

I came home from work yesterday to find 7 copies of this sign taped to the front door.

Carlyn's readers are free to speculate about which parent was delighted and which was appalled.

Weekend Scones!

On the weekends, we like to make scones.

It looks like I'm saying, "I WON THIS!"

There will be seven steps to making scones. Step one: put the butter in the microwave but first, chop it up. Step two: add the milk. Step three: mix the scones. Step four: eat the chips. Step five: mix in some food coloring. Step six: make it into little circles. Finale – Step seven: eat the dough and put some in the oven, but save some for yourself. You can dye it, you can sprinkle it, you can even make it different shapes and sizes. Enjoy!

Today's scones were teal and pretty purple. I used dye.
