MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

Maddy, welcome! Been thinking of you, have you heard your about your MRI results. Hope everything was nothing but good! Diana, sorry to hear about your jerk of a boss. They are in a way trying to help you take time for yourself. But they should let you make that decision. Hope you are feeling ok this weekend post TX. Take it easy, drinks LOTS of water and rest when you can.

Hope  all you ladies have a great weekend. For you moms heading off to the kids's graduations--cherish this time!! It's so exciting watching our chicks take another step closer to the edge of the nest. Last night I went to my youngest DS's band banquet. Watching all the seniors get their accolades was touching for me and mine is only a sophomore. I swear I cry at ANYTHING.

Cutting back on caffeine due to upcoming DIEP so my pass  the DECAF lattes around. And the sugar free scones. Happy Friday!

Dianarose jo is fine.  She is on some of my other threads but I do know that when the change on the website took place she lost some of her favorites.  She finally got her last drain out and is doing really well

Sherryc- thanks for letting me know Jo is ok.

Flmomandwife- I make scones at work everyday. I have a great recipe if you ever want it. They are easy and taste best right from the oven.

Still having a lot of acid reflux problems from the chemo. Started on Prilosec today so hopefully in a few days it will kick in.

Dianarose--I'd love the recipe, too!

I will post the recipe here as a lot of you would like it.

4 cups flour                                           2tsp BP

2/3 cup sugar                                        1/2 tsp BS

1 cup butter at room temp.                     1 tsp salt

2 eggs                                                  1 cup dried cranberries or fresh

Zest and juice of 1 orange                       1 cup sour cream

I mix all the dry and blend in the butter with a pastry blender. You can use a fork if you don't have one. I then blend in the eggs and zest followed by the sour cream and then the OJ and if it is still a little dry I add some milk a little bit at a time. You don't want it to wet though. Then add your cranberries. Sometimes I use strawberries, blueberries, or ginger and lemon. I use a bib ice cream scoop and scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes. Your time may vary because I am used to the convection oven at work. I almost forgot, I brush the tops with egg wash and a little sanding sugar on top. They should be golden brown on top and not wet to the touch. You can roll  the dough out thick on a floured surface in a circle and cut into traditional triangles. It 's just so much quicker with the scoop.

I Hope you all enjoy them.

I really had chemo brain when I got home. I made a pot of coffee and when I heard the beeb that it was brewed I went to pour a cup and I never put any coffee in. What am I going to be like at the end of chemo. LOL

Thank you Dianaroe
