bigbang go boom

Jack? Please shut up. You're supposed to be in a tale of intrigue and aliens, not having tea with a giggling four year old. Remember the mystery? The reason this whole stupid story is being written in the first place? Do you think you can address that part sometime this century?

Plot=hard. Tea and crumpets=fun. *sigh*

(They are actually cookies, his host (a 4 year old american girl) is merely calling them crumpets. "cause you can't have a proper tea without crumpets.")

Scoooooooones are better. With jam and cream. Fact.

I've only ever had scary, crappy scones, so I wouldn't know.

The setting (at the moment) is 50's america. I doubt you could get scones there then

Awh. If I thought it would be fresh by the time it got to you, I'd snail-mail you a scone from work.

Still. Cookies are good!

cookies are good. Especially when involving chocolate in some manner

...You're really bad for my teeth, you know that?

*Hunts for chocolate*

so I should start posting about toothbrushes now?

*ponders* not quite as interesting or as much fun

*g* I wouldn't actually change you for anything. Although my dentist would. If I ever went to one.

going to dentists is important (not that I can talk, I haven't been in ages)

I have a fundamental dislike of people who take money off me and then cause me pain.

lol- good point there.

ugh- this tea party and it's randomness is nearly 1000 words now!

That's fine! It sounds fun.

have to read the lead up yet? I'd love any feedback/opinions on what worked or needed tightening or tweaking, etc

It's on my 'stuff to do asap' list! Once this last bloody exam is out of the way, I'll have more time to read.

depends on where Jack is. New York has always prided itself on its culinary knowledge. Also lots of Europeans visit NY. I'm scones could be found there in the '50s

NYC maybe, I grew up on Long Island (which happens, for other reasons, to be where this part of the story is set) and don't remember there being any bakeries that made anything 'fancy' like scones

Scones are the best!! especially if they are warm! smithy want to start a scone appreciation society?

Sounds like a plan!

I love cheese scones the best, actually. Mmm. Yummy.

cheese scones? is that a filling or part of the dough? cheese danish are great, especially those with blueberry as well.

speaking of pastry, have you ever had a blintz?

Part of it, and a bit on top. Very nice, warm with butter.

Never even heard of a blintz!

they're a jewish delicacy. think of a rolled crepe in a small cylinder with cheese filled and fried til crispy.

i never heard of cheese scones!

Sooo, do you prefer strawberry jam on your scones or what? I personally like blackcurrant... rhubarb jam is just plain wrong on scones.

Raspberry for me please!

rhubarb jam is too similar to rhubarb pie filling *snicker*
