Soup and Scone Lunch.

It is a rotten day here today and the forecast is for a raging storm.

This is when I am really pleased that I know longer have to go into work 5 days a week.
It is very cosy here in my office.
My Mother wasn’t Jewish she was born in Wales but she made excellent Chicken Soup.
Today is the perfect day for Grandma’s Chicken Soup.

I really love the scone recipe that originated from Jo Seagar.
I have made several adaptations and another one has emerged today.
I formed the dough into a cake. It looks great…very nice presentation.
