Fresh Strawberry Scones

I’ve been thinking about the future a lot lately.  It’s scary and exciting.  Where will we be a year from now?  I’ll hopefully be (almost) done my PhD.  Will I have a job lined up?  What kind of job will it be?  Will we be planning a move to a different city?  Or maybe buying a house in Toronto.
  

Mangoconut Shortcakes

I’ve been doing some mathematical modeling at work over the past couple of months. Sometimes math is a nice break from wet lab work.  The logic is relaxing.  Things are predictable.  At the same time, I’ve had to remember things that I learned in calculus in undergrad.  Partial differential equations, asymptotic analysis, limits.  I made my brain reach.
  

Roasted Beet Scones

Sometimes you've got to take a little time.  That’s not me.  I am the person who opens the microwave with three seconds left.  I am the person who runs to make the crosswalk.  I am the person who fast forwards through the opening sequence of a tv show (except for the ones with awesome intro music… I’m looking at you Game of Thrones). 

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Scones

I make scones a lot.  That’s a fact.

I like to make scones on the type of days when I loosely define morning as the time during which I eat my first meal... whether that’s before noon or not.
 

Lemon Blueberry Scones In Real Life

** These pictures were not staged.  All were taken with my phone in a very dimly lit kitchen.  Real life.**

It was an early morning here, something that doesn’t happen very often.  I guess we’re still partially on Europe time.  I found myself awake and staring at the ceiling thinking about what to make for breakfast.  The lemons and blueberries I bought yesterday seemed destined to come together in a warm and crumbly pastry.
