10.16.10 Dreamy Cream Scones

with dried cranberries and chocolate chips.

New food processor only means one thing: SCONES.   Actually, it's not new at all.  I just got it for free from a subletter.  It's old and a little dirty, but nonetheless functional.  And, it was completely fine after I thoroughly washed it.  I heard that scones are best made in food processors since they minimize the amount of dough-handling, so I decided to give it a try.

I used a recipe from the Smitten Kitchen just because it included cranberries.  I had wanted to use up the dried cranberries I bought a couple of months ago.  For some reason, though, I couldn't find many recipes that required DRIED cranberries.  Sarah also wanted something that could be eaten on-the-go, so it seemed perfect.

10.2.10 Everyday Chocolate Cake

...with chocolate chips and coconut.

First week back in school!  As usual, I'm not that excited.  Homework and stress is never fun.  I will say, though, that this quarter didn't start off too bad.  Yes, I already have work to do and I still haven't figured out my work situation yet, but at least two out of three classes don't seem too intense.  The third, unfortunately, will be a pain.  Hopefully I can make it through without going insane.  At least I'll be relaxing with yoga?  Unless I get stressed from not being flexible enough to do yoga.

If all else fails, at least I'll have baking and chocolate.
