Dried Cherry and Chocolate Maple Scone


It seems that DC is blanketed with adds for Ben and Jerry's new "cone" ice creams.  Do you know what I'm talking about?  Apparently, they have a column of fudge, caramel, or jam in the center of the pint.  There in metro stations and bus stations throughout the city.


I can't keep my eyes off of them.  I'm drawn to the advertisements like a bug to a light.  I looked for them at the grocery store earlier this week, but the store did not have a single one.  The just had the regular old Ben & Jerry's.  



Today after gorging myself on hot pot, I went to the grocery store again for the sole purpose of buying a pint, but again there wasn't any to be found.  I'm beside myself with what to do.  It's been the trial of my week.


This week I ate scones for breakfast.  It's been far too long since I made scones.  Scones were first mentioned in 1513.  There are several theories about the origin of the word.

Peanut Butter Banana Scones


Scones can fill many rolls.  They can be a breakfast, dessert, or snack.  Only have a couple of minutes to dress and run out the door? That sounds like a perfect time for a scone!  Need something to nibble on while watching TV? Eat a scone!
