Silver Linings and New Beginnings

Greetings from "en confinement"  The kitchen is my happy place these days, well, every day actually.
The above pictures my first attempt at scones which taste great but  look more like cookies. Of course, I ate too many of them and felt particularly grateful for the Jazzercise Live class this morning.  Plus we are having vegetarian lasagne tonight.

Starting online French classes tomorrow with Zoom. I anticipate we will  experience different comfort levels with an online Book Club.  I have tutored a private student for quite some time with Skype and Google Hangouts.  That seems easier than a group discussion in French. We will see.

By the way, the scone recipe comes from a book entitled Afternoon Tea Serenade. The book lay untouched in my cookbook closet (yes, closet) for at least ten years. In fact, it even comes with a cassette of classical chamber music to enjoy while sipping tea. Where the heck the cassette tape is, I have no idea.  Actually, using a recipe from this cook book falls under the  Silver Linings of Confinement. Do you have any silver linings of your own to share?
