We got 10 inches of snow last night so soup sounded like a great thing to have...so I started making creamy chicken and rice soup. The only problem...I didn't have a package of rice to use. The only box resembling rice in my pantry, a box of couscous.
While the taste was awesome, it just wasn't the same. The couscous, which is a pasta, added quite a bit starch and a different texture. Would I make it again...probably not, but it wasn't all bad.

Maple Scones from Living the Swell Life & Farm Chicks!
In the oven as we speak. The only thing I did different is toast the walnuts in butter & cinnamon and added some cinnamon to the dough. Smells WONDERFUL!! Will post pictures if they cool enough for me to make the icing and not eat them all!!!
I made the scones. They are delicious!!! They were a little dry for my taste but I am going to wait for them to cool down. I cooked for the full 18 minutes and I think I overcooked them even though the edges were only a little brown. You should try them!!! They taste GREAT!
