Custom Photo Flash Cards and More
I happened upon Pinhold Press today and I CAN'T believe I haven't heard of them before. They offer some really cool photo products that would make great gifts like the Photo Flash Card set where you can customize every ABC card with a photo. For example, P is for plasticann, M is for MGDub, G is for GJDubya, Z is for Zvy, etc. Based on this blog's naming conventions, the letter Z would be super popular. They also have a fun memory card game. Drat, I already bought Zvy and Zwan their birthday presents.

Zesty Cranberry Orange Scones Revisited
Adam and I celebrated New Year's Day this week with a full day of Downton Abbey Season 1. I baked up a batch of my Zesty Cranberry Orange Scones and made a big pot of tea as a complement. I brought the leftover scones to work the next day and one of coworkers declared them to be very delicious which of course totally made my day. This one was created back in 2006, but has enjoyed several appearances on this blog over the years.
September 13, 2004
The original scone recipe was from the Disney Family Cookbook. I had been baking the basic recipe for a few years since it was one of Adam's favorites. At one point, he convinced me to bake a big bag full of scones so he could freeze them and enjoy them whenever. I think he may have even purchased a toaster oven from the Davis Square Goodwill for $5 to properly reheat his scones.
One morning, I was at True Grounds coffee shop in Ball Square probably working on my business school applications. I bought one of their Cranberry Orange scones to enjoy with my coffee and I was super disappointed. It was DRY and CHALKY and totally not worth the calories. I was intrigued by the flavor combination so I adapted the idea to my own scone recipe and created the Zesty Cranberry Orange Scone.
April 28, 2006
By this time, Adam and I were married and he was working over at the Vineyard so I would send leftover baked goods with Adam to work. I frequently made these Cranberry Orange scones, but I usually skipped the orange glaze except for special extra sugary occasions. Adam's coworker and boss Andrew tasted one of these souped up glazed scones and declared "these are the best scones ever." I totally forgot that Andrew loved these scones until I searched my own blog archives today. It's a sweet memory of Andrew since he passed away a few years later from cancer so I love this small silly memory of Andrew from a time when he was a healthy young man.

On this day, I actually sifted the flour for the scones and I guess it improved the results. I totally forgot, I'll have to do that next time. Check out the cute photo though.
That brings me back to this week when my friend Jeff reminded me to send him the recipe. I dug through my blog archives for the recipe and in the process enjoyed a sweet trip down memory late.
