Ah, that is one I wasn't familiar with, but am now thanks to Mr. Google. I don't have that on hand, but my tin of Harney English Breakfast makes a rather bracing tea.
What have you been baking?

I am now restricted to drinking only decaf tea. In my younger days, my brother often used to bring me back unblended Ceylon orange pekoe, which was gorgeous, but I've never found any that tastes like it here in the UK. and unfortunately the tea we used to have is too expensive to import - they don't do a decaf version anyway. I used to like Dilmah English Breakfast loose tea, but Tesco stopped selling it

I made some of the lemon and blueberry drizzle cake except I used frozen raspberries. A successful variation.

I made banana muffins again. Another quick fix. When I find something I like, I work it to death.

Have you posted the recipe for this @winterybella ?

No, I have not. Should I and where if do? I feel like a tourist having been gone for so long? It's like I need a map to navigate my way around the forum.
We paired down the number of sections as there used to be so many! Post it in Baking, Bread Making and Cakes.

I've had the dry ingredients for two batches of sweet scones out on my kitchen work table for nearly a month, waiting for the junction of a cool enough day and a block of free time in which I could mix and bake them. I made time today, since the rest of this week looks like it will be a lot of days in the 80s and I want my table cleared off! The paler ones on the left are a basic cream scone recipe to which I added mini chocolate chips and pieces of dried cherries. The more golden on the right is an orange scone which also has mini chocolate chips mixed in. We each ate one, I set two of each aside for my SIL in exchange for the stuffed cabbage she had brought earlier in the week, another two of each for eating this week, and I froze three of each. Hopefully, those in the freezer stay in the freezer until we leave for vacation in two weeks.
They look great!

Thank you, @morning glory! We love them. It's been a while since I baked them, but I think they might be showing up more often as the weather cools...IF the weather cools.
I feel for you as I hate the heat. Its really quite cool in the UK right now! Will you post the recipe for the scones (as a new thread - we like recipes as new threads as that means they are 'searchable')? I'd like to try making them.

The recipes are from a cookbook @morning glory, but I have tweaked them a little bit. Will it be OK to post it if I post my versions, and then give credit to the book? I believe the book is now out-of-print. Also, I give a lot of credit to them turning out so delicious because of the cast aluminum pan that I bake them in. I've also tried making them drop style and pat-into-circle-then-cut style, and both times they baked up drier.
I'll get to posting tomorrow (Tuesday) if I remember. It's the wee hours here (2:00 AM) and >this< night owl should be thinking of going to bed. Not gonna happen for a while.

Yes, that is absolutely the way to do it. Sometimes, though, recipes are so tweaked that it is not necessary to credit the original!
Your as bad as me.It's the wee hours here (2:00 AM) and >this< night owl should be thinking of going to bed. Not gonna happen for a while.

@morning glory, if we lived in the same neighborhood, I imagine we could get into glorious trouble fun together.
