Sunday MRI

With a heavy heart, I left the house yesterday accompanied by hubby. I don’t want to leave my little angel alone, especially when she was still sleeping. The change of event that took place on April 13th, 2012 had left me a paranoid mother. What worse was that I have been holding back tears, putting up a strong front, still trying to organize things, while the question of “what could I have missed?” keep haunting me.

However, like many other episodes with the kids I have no choice but to leave and do what was required of me to do. I kissed her sleepy cheeks, avoiding the smelly morning breathe and left.

Another day of MRI, I hope my state of mind now will not influence the results of the MRI.

 Putting my signature to it

 What's in my card holder too

Was that an empty purse?

All That I Need

All that I need to keep me happy :

a good book  

 some homemade scones with sour cream and strawberry jam

and an excellent cup of tea with star anise

whoever said

I need a friend?

Nope!!!!

Power Puff Face

This is my power puff steroid inflicted face…………… ha ha ha, look at my under eyelids. They are all so puffy, soon I guess my face will look like a fish bowl, but I am happy, so it does not matter. I joke about everything that is bothering my health.

To me it is better that way than to be frightened by it. By the way if you see me next and saw me lighting up like a Christmas tree, this can only be because of the so, so, so many times that I have been exposed to MRI, X-Rays and CT scan.

Bring it on………………….

P/s: Hubby trying to protect me from the rain, I thought this happens only in India.

Scones

Saturday, I decided to make scones. We finished them all and I might go for another round of scones day on Monday, but then again it depends on my mood.

 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 8 tablespoon of frozen butter

 use rub in method and mixture should resemble coarse meal

 add in 1/2 cup of raisin and 1/3 cup of sugar (I used raw brown sugar)

whisk together 1 egg and 1/2 cup of sour cream until smooth

make a well in the middle of the flour mix and add the egg and sour cream mixture using a fork 

use your hand to press the dough again the bowl into a ball, do not over kneed the dough.  Dough will be sticky at this moment, but that is ok 

place dough on a lightly floured table top

kneed dough slowly

pat dough to approximately 8-9 inch circle and about 1/2 inch thick.  

use a round cookie cutter and cut through dough, place on baking tray with cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 200 degree C for 15 to 20 minutes

let the scones rest for 5 minutes before serving

Nice...........................
