"This is delicious, ya'll." Well, this was pretty good, with applause from the family all around. But I felt like there was something missing. We'll have to work on that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJeBMIFxE-Q/SgtQueWwuHI/AAAAAAAAAAc/xKP9-KjJr4E/s1600-h/DSCF6781.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iJeBMIFxE-Q/SgtQueWwuHI/AAAAAAAAAAc/xKP9-KjJr4E/s320/DSCF6781.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335446942903220338" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/hurry-up-chicken-pot-pie-recipe/index.html">Paula's recipe</a> sounds a little like chicken and biscuits to me, with a buscuity topping rather than a crust.

I actually volunteered. It's my first week off from school and I really want to try some recipes.<br /><br />But, back to the food.<br /><br />I am in love with <strike>the British</strike> scones. So, when I was browsing <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/">Smitten Kitchen</a> and found <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/dream-a-little-dream-of-scone/">this recipes</a> for cranberry scones, I knew I had to try it. It seems a little bit higher expertise level than I have, but I like a challenge.<br /><br />They're beautiful. Half of them are gone already. Mom took one. Sister and her two friends took one each. They have that texture of a scone, but they aren't unbearably dry like some I'm sure you've tried. Unlike Deb, I made mine in the traditional wedge shape and greased my pan. I always grease my pans, as I've had some bad baking experiences with ungreased baking sheets.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iJeBMIFxE-Q/SgtO2opJzcI/AAAAAAAAAAU/RCQ7qQ_uBYE/s1600-h/DSCF6779.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iJeBMIFxE-Q/SgtO2opJzcI/AAAAAAAAAAU/RCQ7qQ_uBYE/s320/DSCF6779.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335444884080414146" /></a><br /><br />I will definitely be making these again. Maybe replacing the dried fruit and adding some spices. My mom requested chocolate chip, buuuut I'm not sure those would hold up well.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1010560095330210898-6114394248453356437?l=culinaryexperimentsofacollegestudent.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>culinaryexperimentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07469739095910943457noreply@blogger.com1
