We get free fruit scones at work every Wednesday morning and they are, I have to admit, divine.
I am a bit wierd in that I am not the biggest fan of heated scones with butter and jam, or even cream. I like them dry. With no condiments.
And only slightly warm, with a crunchy and slightly hard outside.
I especially love when the raisins and currants are all hard and shriveled up from the oven. It gives them a kind of sweet/bitter (or even bitter/sweet) taste.
So there you are. I am weird!!!!
Another thing that gets me through the mental days at work is this bunch of folks, http://www.todayfm.com/Shows/Weekdays/Ray-Foley/BLOG.aspx
Ray, JP and Adelle are on from 12 -2.30 every day and are a bit daft. Nice mindless chatter to sometimes take my mind off work.
I have the truffles made and chillin' in the fridge at home for the Alison Curtis Show tomorrow night. I have yet to coat them in cocoa powder and chilli chocolate. Tonight will be spend rolling them in afore mentioned powder. And I will also make the shortbread that I love so much. Sprinkled through the biccies is Cacao nibs, which are a super food. They look a bit odd though and when I brought them to Electric Picnic last year, I was asked whether they were "funny cookies" They weren't!!!
Anyway, Cacao Nibs are the fruit of the cocoa plant and are super high in antioxidants, and in the spirit of all things valentines, are a natural aphrodisiac!!! While incredibly bitter to eat on their own (they are like eating 100% chocolate) they are much mellower when encorporated in biscuits. Photos and recipes to follow!!!
chow for now!
