Saturdays are the best! Part 2

Yesterday, in preparation for Thanksgiving;  Gordie and the boys repainted the family room. It is the same Dijon Yellow as we painted it in Jan. 2000; Nov 2004 and Feb 2006. I guess we like it :) I had sought advice from the lady at the paint store and she advised me to stick with it, but to take some of the things of the walls. Hmmmpf.  I am so clueless about decorating, sad, but true. At about 4 pm, I made some dough for pizza. At 6 pm when the dough was ready, Gord changed the plan and instead made  these gorgeous, delicious Strombollis. The kids thought it was almost as good as pizza (they think G's pizza is the world's best). Here's what it looked like, SO sorry I can't give you a taste!





We also had these. You can't go wrong with Toll House cookies.

fresh scones

David found a recipe for scones in his Emeril cookbook. He and Maura helped whip it up and he specifically asked that I take pictures of the procedure and put them on Facebook. hehe. 

Here they are almost finished, we just have to score the scones, separate and bake them. 

Stuffed with Grandpa's homemade raspberry jam....

so yummy! The proud chef:
