When I'm doing something, I tend to be consumed by it. 
No multi-tasking for me.  My most recent project has been the repair of this Dutch rug destroyed by the owner's German Shepherd puppy.  I finished late last night after seven solid hours of work.  It's done!  Now I can move on to something else -- like cooking dinner tonight.
     Meals are overlooked when I'm engrossed in a project such as this.  Today I'll be back in the kitchen!
     One thing I did make the past few days was one of my favorite scone recipes -- Fresh Apple Scones with Pecans.

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 egg
• 1 cup finely diced apples
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1.  In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, salt, soda and baking powder.  Process briefly.  Cube cold butter and add to the flour mixture.  Pulse until the butter resembles peas.  In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup sour cream and egg and mix until blended.  Stir in diced apples.  Add the flour mixture and stir until combined.  Gather the dough together into a ball in the bowl and, with floured hands, knead lightly five times.
2.  Divide the dough in half and place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or Silpat.  With floured hands, press each into a disc about five inches in diameter.  Using a floured knife, cut each disc into four wedges and separate the wedges slightly.  Brush top of dough with remaining 1 tablespoon sour cream.  Sprinkle with mixture of remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cinnamon.  Bake at 400˚F for 20-25 minutes, or until done.
