Scones! We had a bakery in Madison called, ‘The Flour Box’ and they made these orange and chocolate chip scones that were to die for! When Step-Son was little, on Saturday mornings we & I would hit the Farmer’s Market on the Square because he and I were the only Early Risers in the house. They were our favorite treat. :)
I tried making them from scratch, but they were just not the same, you know?
