Irish Scones, Pease Pudding, Derby Savory Pudding, and Lobster Pizza

 I know..it's way too soon for a food post but I have a lot to post. I guess I' have been busy in the kitchen.

So here is what I have been making...starting with scones.  Irish scones. Scones are an original British or Irish. I have made scones before but only US style scones so I was excited to make a different version. These were pretty good....when I was baking them I was a little disappointed in how much they spread out but they tasted pretty good so I can't complain too much. I ended up just using raisins because that's what I have and where do you find dried currants anyway besides online? 

Served with tea..of course. I'm currently drinking Republic of Tea Lemon Biscuit tea. I don't love it...but it smells just like a lemon creme sandwich cookie.

 

It was nice to set aside time for tea. 

Then I made Pease Pudding and Derby Savory Pudding. It's not pudding but of course n the UK...everything is pudding. Basically the pease pudding it split pea soup. It was good, filling, cheap, and healthy. Made a good lunch to take to work. And the Derby Savory Pudding was a cross between stuffing and baked oatmeal. Not my thing but edible and filling. These were two recipes from the Unofficial Harry Potter book which I am about 65% done with. 

And last up- I made a Lobster Pizza. I made my usually flat bread recipe but I think it's time to retire the flat bread recipe as pizza crust. It works in a pinch but it doesn't make the BEST pizza crust. I need to stop being lazy and go back to making actual pizza crust. That said- the pizza was good. I pulled out some pesto I froze awhile ago as the sauce, cooked the lobster in the oven and then tossed in butter, parsley, and garlic. Add cheese and bake. Nice way to spoil yourself. This is definitely the most expensive pizza I have made to date--- but you gotta treat yourself sometimes. Or all the time.

And that's all! Now I'm am so sleepy..I'm going to pick a good movie and relax.
