It was after I wrote this that I bought a domain name and built this very blog.

This is long. You've been warned.
This morning I am reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle, which is blowing my mind page after page. She relates a story about how a group of teenagers decide if they are hungry. The boys all answer YES without hardly even having to think. The girls talk amongst themselves and decide, as a group, that they are not hungry. She says, the boys looked inside themselves, and the girls looked outside themselves. As my mind was being blown again, I realized that I am, quite literally, hungry, and I needed to do something about that.
Therein lies the best and worst part of being a successful adult. If I want something, I have the power to make it happen. But if I want something, I am (usually) the one who has to make it/do it/buy it. I can't just snap my fingers and command someone else to do it for me. That is a level of success I will probably never reach but I'm OK with that. So I went into the kitchen to make scones.
Scones are my THING. My local friends all probably would agree that it's something I am known for. But I usually make scones in the food processor, and the food processor gave up the ghost earlier this week. So I made scones by hand, like a BADASS, and here are my takeaways:
1. It's not that hard to make scones by hand, but it is WAY messier.
2. I am quite capable of making do with what I have.
3. Takeaway #2 is true in baking, and in life.
4. I really do need to start that baking blog, because holy shit am I full of good recipes and wisdom to impart, right?? But the wisdom will come AFTER the recipe.
That's all. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
