I just found out that tomorrow (January 27th) is National Chocolate Cake Day. Kyle's going to hate me but I think I might just have to celebrate this. Maybe I'll try out that recipe for Guiness chocolate cupcakes again. Anyone know a good chocolate frosting recipe?
Yesterday I got in the kitchen to use up some stuff that Mom gave us when she came to visit. She gave us a pound of strawberries that we hadn't even STARTED eating so I cooked them up and made a pretty awesome strawberry jam. It's thick and sweet and a little tangy from the lemon juice I squeezed in.
Once I had jam, I figured we would need something to put it on. So, I made vanilla scones. I love vanilla so I added more than the recipe called for. They're not too sweet and the vanilla still came out pretty subtle but I think they're perfect for jam!
While I was looking up a recipe for vanilla scones, I found a recipe for Cheddar Dill scones. We had a bunch of cheese leftover from when we made macaroni and cheese, so I made scones with emmantalier and gruyere, sage, rosemary, basil and oregano. They are sooooooo good!
Does anyone else find the sexy M&M commercials really creepy?

How's the cake??
The scones sound amazing. I hope you're writing all these recipes down!!
Kyle vetoed my cake-making. But we still had to celebrate so we got one slice of Ultimate Chocolate Cake from Publix. It was so rich that we had to eat half of it last night and save the other half for today.
Mmm cheesy herby scones... Good going Karlen, you made me too hungry to concentrate on my computer assignment! :P
