Baking and Talking and Friend Stuff

Wednesday night I got a Facebook message from my friend Rachel: So if I bring the key ingredients (i.e. strawberries and such) can we please get together and bake and talk and do friend stuff?

Then she added this link.

There's something very lovely about getting such a message from a friend you've not seen in far too long.

And so it was that Thursday night, Rachel showed up with three boxes of these...

And we packed ourselves into my little kitchen and set out to create this strawberry scone goodness.

It said to flour generously. I'm nothing if not generous. Ever eaten floured strawberries before? Okay so it was not THAT bad.

You know your friend is loving when she'll show up after you've gone for a run...and you're sweaty and nasty. And she'll still let you near the food. HA!

Can't have scones without coffee. Who are we kidding? Can't have LIFE without coffee.

They were GOOD.

And best of all...it was an amazing evening of baking and talking and friend stuff. God sure knew what He was doing when He made friends.
