i have been terrible lately at keeping up with my blog. not alot of crafting, art or making has been happening. its the time in the uni semester when assignments are due and exams seem to be closer. i always feel terribly guilty for anything that does not involve my assignments....but i thought tonight after a day of writing, i would post something. i have been following a large meal plan lately and my body has been changing, expanding and bloating....something that isn't easy but as people tell me 'necessary'. there have been lots of scones, biscuits, ice cream and all the normal things. today, dad brought home some fresh new season asparagus which was delicious with blue cod for tea. another thing was a date filled scone- a plain sweet scone filled in the middle with stewed dates. too much food and too much thinking. heres hoping the next few weeks get easier not harder! anyway if you want to make your own date scones like the ones we had today, find the link here:  http://sweetcherriepie.com/2010/08/22/sticky-date-scroll-scone-an-international-incident/

but instead of rolling them, fold them in half and cut. or even use berries instead of dates.
