I’m constantly trying to fight the American urge to get things done and go until you fall over. One of the things I’m trying to do for myself is take time for “tea” in the afternoon, even if it’s just in a mug while I watch an episode of “House of Elliot”.
Last night I made homemade scones from Nigella’s book “How to be a Domestic Goddess.” They came out perfectly! Matt and I enjoyed them with tea and a pre-code Barbara Stanwyk movie last night. Lucky me has leftovers today, sans whipped cream.
