FIRST BITE OF THE DAY >>>
I'll start with the best part of my day so far: the scone. I had ordered it at Corina Bakery & Bistro with an Americano to go.
I was handed the scone when I placed my order, and I promised myself I wouldn't nibble on it while I waited for my Valhalla Coffee espresso.
I love scones. I'd call them my favorite pastry. This one was the Puyallup Fair recipe. It's much larger than the scones at the Fair. It was not a plump oval. It was more triangular but not a fussy isosceles or equilateral triangle. This was a scalene triangle, nearly as big as my hand, and its odd angles created varying thickness and textures.
I pinched off a piece in the bag and took a bite. The flavors shocked me. There was the crisp, sugary texture and taste of the exterior, followed immediately by the sweet strawberry jam. I was back at the Puyallup Fair of my childhood.
I took the scone out of the bag and went to work.
