Agatha!!

I’m back reading Agatha Christie as we have been watching some documentaries about her life.  A few years ago, I was a member of Agatha book club

The group was reading Agatha’s books in chronological order-sorry to say I didn’t keep up with the list—always a chance to begin where I left off 

The other day there was a mention of a “new” Agatha book —alas, there have been no great discoveries of new found manuscripts—this book is short stories written by today’s female authors!  

New stories about Miss Marple!  What could be better than that?  Of course, reading her original books are the best; this is a nice read—each author gives their interpretation of Miss Marple in short story form—

In the organized Agatha book club, the object was to read the book and find a knitting project that would fit the story line.  Sometimes, that wasn’t an easy task but challenging! While I was reading these short stories, I decided to continue on my cooking adventures.  I fondly remember our times in United Kingdom and afternoon teas.  I decided to make scones to serve with English tea.  Searching for the right recipe--Authentic British Scones!

Yes, you can buy mixes for scones but the above recipe is easy to make from ingredients you have on hand.  There is a recipe for clotted creme but I took the easy way out and bought it! 

Found it at our local grocery--little expensive but we're indulgent for this time.

Look how pretty the scones turned out--whipped up within an hour from dry ingredients to table!

I've even serving the scones on my English purchased dishes--along with fruit jam and that delicious clotted creame!  What a nice treat for the mid afternoon 'tea' time!

Wait, got to fix the tea to go along--which teacup will I choose?
