all scones are not created equal

This morning I was craving a vanilla soy latte from Starbucks and the chilly weather deterred me from walking the extra 10 or so blocks to Amy's Bread, so I opted for a blueberry scone from Starbucks.  But let me tell you, all scones are not created equal!  Not that the scone from Starbucks was bad, but a scone from Amy's Bread is like heaven on a plate...oh well, there is always next Saturday!

welcome weekend...

Things I've got lined up this weekend:  cocktail party at a friend's apartment; baking triple chocolate pecan cookies; dinner at Alta with some girl friends; part two of my knitting class at Lion Brand Yarn ...and I'll throw some running in there somewhere!

Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Saturday Morning

I think I've got a new ritual in the works...Saturday mornings mean a scone from Amy's Bread, a latte and the New York Times!  This morning's scone of choice:  Cherry Cream Scone.

PS - I would give anything to be in the canoe right now!

perfect way to start a weekend morning...

I woke up this morning to a slightly warmed up NYC, yes it is currently a toasty 39 degrees!  I decided to take advantage of this temporary reprieve from the bitter cold and walk to Amy's Bread to get breakfast.  I got an oat, banana and pecan scone (this scone was seriously amazing - just the perfect amount of sweetness, yet also grainy and cinnamony and delicious) and a latte.  Add in this morning's New York Times and it is the perfect way to start a Saturday morning!

I am starting a new job on Monday and I will fortunately/unfortunately walk past Amy's Bread everyday (yet to be determined...)
