Scones...all on my own


Sometimes, I ask myself if I am one who always decides based on logic and practicality. Reality could really be harsh at times and they could slap hard on your faces. Good to activate the mind and think rationally, logically and practically. But at times, I suppose I would choose to focus on my heart, communicate with my heart and seek to understand it better. My heart has been telling me the past two days that I should try baking scones on my own and I am glad I listened to it...First time all on my own! Truly exciting as I wondered if I was going to cause a great disaster in the kitchen especially with the oven.  Filled with anxiety, I wondered if I had measured the right amount for all the ingredients. I was kinda worried about the science of baking as precision may not necessarily be my strength. Well, anxiety built up as I started looking at the scones being baked in the oven every three minutes, hoping everything was doing fine in there. And there we go! Out came those scones, not as 'disfigured' as I thought they would be after baking. Well, not the best scones in town and something seemed amiss in the taste but glad that I have given it a try and glad that I had listened to my heart. Ha, my father came home and asked why I had bought so many scones...I was beaming with pride. Did he mean that they  looked presentable enough be sold? :P
