| Some day when I have the time, energy and determination I should start a food blog.
Before then, let me still use this space to share with you all my little creations.
In order to make apple cinnamon coffee cake , I got some buttermilk.
What would be a better way to use up buttermilk than making tasty, flaky scones ?
When I was looking for alternative recipe, I came across this idea to make rolled scone.
I really like this idea ... scones and jam are meant to be and they are now united in a roll =)
The recipe:
Group A
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Group B:
1 cup (approximately) buttermilk
1/2 tablespoon lemon oil
some unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
1/4 cup sugar, for dusting
4 tablespoons jam or jelly and/or 4 tablespoons diced or small plump dried fruits, such as currants, raisins, apricots, or figs, for filling (optional)
Use rubbing in method to mix items in group A to resemble coarse crumbs. Add in group B. Roll out into 1/2" thickness and dust with sugar. Bake at 425F for 10 -15 min.

| Every since I have learned that it is better to cherish every day and be happy, I begin to count my blessings each day. Guess what ? I think I am a lot happier =)
Some very happy moments that I want to share ...
Mr. A. got me this amazingly cute souvenir from his travel. After all, it is just nice to be back in Seattle after being in Friday Harbor for so long.
 
Mr. T. sent me a crazy care package. The story was.... you can't buy instant noodles , the HK ones here in Washington. And guess what my dee dee got me . Please note his elegant Chinese hand writing.
Of coz I am having a GREAT time meeting up with my friends. Thank you Sarah for spending the evening with me. Mrs. Beardsley got me an amazing graduation gift , picture will come later. Thank you for all the other ppl who have spent time with me too =) .
Look forward to all the upcoming , cathing up, get - together etc.
Work hard, play hard and enjoy life.

| I agree that graduate school is not easy
I agree that at times we are very lost , very frustrated , feel very very stupid etc....
But
I believe there is a lot of things to life than publications / tenure
Friends, if you every feel stressed , esp if it is grad school related, give me a call.
I am not you , I can guarantee that I can understand completely or give you super good advice
BUT I promise I will be there for you , empathize your situation and share with you my experience too.

============================
如果 一手鋸開枯樹 木不會發現痛
不過 日日澆水的我 覺得被挖空
如果 必須結束關係 難扮成從未栽種
讓我 數著年輪 這些年輪 我的心會痛 wo~
畢竟那段如沐春風
早刻進百年長的信
在信中 圈圈緊扣 情感多深厚
前因 非因 錯種
分開簡單 抹去往事極難
幾多溫馨 燭光晚餐
難以用 斧頭一劈 叫畫面飛散
伴侶沒了 記憶會為患
倚星細語 抱月夜談
歷歷在目 錄下年鑑
來年樹倒 身影孤 煙花散
年輪未可推翻 化不~淡
（情長未可推翻 化不~淡 ）
緣慳 但是人非草木 並不會太易慣
刻個 木造的心給我 痛苦未會減
情願 舊事連根一拔 忘滅如燃盡的炭
但我 數著年輪 幾圈年輪 已經濕了眼 wo~
分手與又平復之間
少不過百年零一晚
就怕翻風的一晚 回首貪一眼
回憶急速擴散
就怕新婚的一晚 臨終貪一眼
徒添幾分慨嘆
