This was a great one, as usual.
I know you get hundreds of comments on every blog post, but I just wanted you to know how much your blog has meant to me. I am not overstating things when i say that it has changed my life. Yours was the first blog I ever read, about a year and a half ago. I loved it. I was inspired to start my own and began a journey that has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. So thanks.

I linked to the recipe on my blog, Picnics in the Park, but gave you full credit, of course. Probably that marmalade cake will be next!
Thanks again, Molly for following your heart and dreams.
Greta

Really, they’re my favorite baked sweet item. Thing is, I don’t have one recipe that I think is the ultimate platonic example of a scone. I wish I did, but I actually like most types, except the very sweet, leaden ones. I’d like to try the macrina recipe for sure, and I’ll go look up your sister’s as well.

It was produced by a local woman, using her family recipe. I used to find it at Met Market (then Thriftway) and occasionally QFC. They sold the company to Fisher Fair Scones, and I haven’t seen it on the shelves since. I bought my last batch at the space needle gift shop, if you can beleive it, when I had out of towners here.This link tells the story, but the links to the company no longer work. http://www.therecipereader.com/sg-scones.htm

I’m a nostaligic and loyal baker too. I find subcategorizing helps – I’d never prepare your sister’s recipe with fennel seeds and currants or the scones nouveau with crystalized ginger or one of her other specialties.

My favorite sausage recipe uses a ton of fennel seeds and lots of maple syrup.

I am totally the same way — I’ve been making the same oatmeal cookie recipe since I was twelve. I discovered the recipe in Joy of Cooking, modified it, loved it, and never looked back. You’ve inspired me to try the next good looking oatmeal cookie recipe I run across. Thanks!Kristel (www.thebestsoupever.blogspot.com)
