I LOVE scones. And the cranberry-orange sounds divine, especially this time of year.

I am none of the above, but I love to cook!

I had to put it in a jar in the back of the fridge or I'd find myself taking a little taste with a spoon... just to "check if it's good". Unnnhhhh, after the third test, it's not a test.
