That was some meal!

Mr. jocelynlf is jealous. Says he wants salsa's blue cheese scone recipe and that next time he will start taking allergy meds so he can come over and have some of that fantastic pie.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, shootingstar & Mr.!

It was a fabulous dinner and a great time. We will be glad to see Mr. Jocelynlf next time too. A Raleighdon pie is NOT to be missed. Boy, that guy makes a yummy pie crust. Sheesh.

I've used this scone recipe for years and years. I got bored with the caraway seeds so put in a bunch of crumbled blue cheese instead. Makes for an INTENSE-flavored scone.

Scone Recipe


Put in bowl 2 cups flour, ½ cup sugar or less, pinch of salt, and 4 tsps. of baking powder. Sift three times.

Add ½ stick of butter, cut into pea-size pieces.

Separately, blend one egg and enough milk for one cup total, or a little less.

Add caraway seed to dry mix.

Stir in liquids.

Knead 12 times. Form a round 1” thick. Cut into 8-12 wedges. This dough is very sticky so just kneading it and scooping big spoons-worth out of the bowl actually works well too.

Bake at 400 degrees on a buttered cookie sheet until light brown, about 14-15 minutes.
