Dessert for Breakfast

Baking, over the past year, has become somewhat of a therapy for me. The smells, my roommates all taking turns licking the batter off the spoons, and adorable little final products can turn just about any mood into a good one. It has been almost unbearably hot and humid in Boston the past few days and Thursday finally looked like the day it was going to rain. With my afternoon off and a supposed impending downpour, I decided it was time to put the oven to use to bake for the first time in our new apartment. Half an hour later, I had made 15 cranberry scones and there was not a drop of rain to be had. All but three wound up being eaten before breakfast this morning, but that's the beauty of dessert, a snack, and breakfast wrapped up into one fruit-filled, sugar-coated package.
