have dinner by the fire.
Ever since the children were little.
It began with just
Devon Cream Tea on the menu.
And now...
it includes all this!!
As the children grew
there was a need for more
and more and MORE food!
We do a full-blown appies spread.
It's dinner.
What's on the menu?
Layer Dip for Nacho Chips.
(Recipe to follow)
Red Pepper Jelly on
a brick of Cream Cheese
served with Rice Crackers.
Store-bought Sausage Rolls
with Dijon Mustard.
Mandarin Oranges.
Hot Apple Cider.
And of course...
Devon Cream Tea!

Really...
it is actually
SCARY how good it is! :)
Once you have some of the
good stuff on hand,
you just need to whip up a batch of
Rich Scones.
Recipe taken from
Company's Coming
"Muffins and More"
by Jean Pare (a Canadian!).
~ Rich Scones ~
2 Cups All purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 Cup Butter, cold
1 Egg
2/3 Cup Milk
Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Cut in butter until crumbly.
Mix together egg and milk in small bowl.
Stir wet ingredients into flour mixture and mix quickly with a fork.
Pat into a rectangle on your counter.
Be careful to not over-mix!
Cut into triangles or circles.
Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes until golden.
Cool on cooling racks.
Once cooled,
serve your split open scone
with the cream and some
fresh strawberry preserves on top.
And be prepared...
this may become a new tradition!
What special family traditions
do you revisit each year at Christmas-time?

Many Christmas Blessings
to each and every one of you!
