I am very disappointed that none of you told me about the whole "free food at work" thing. It is honestly one of the most redeeming features of working at any sort of establishment. Retail, office, street corner, band camp.
As for the yoghurt scones I made the other day... HAR! HAR! I laugh in the face of yoghurt scones... because they suck so much. Or at least mine did. Tough, dry, horrendous. I also did a milk glaze using my new pastry brush but did not realize that my new pastry brush sucks ass and was leaving brush fibres all over the scones. I did not realize until I was looking at my scones baking (as I often do. Grow, my children, flourish!). That was when I saw the fibres sticking up. And when I say "fibres," I do mean the bristles of the brush. Devastating. I took the scones out and tried to pull the fibres out but it was too late. They were baked into the scones.
Luckily, the fibres baked in the oven so you can't really tell that they're there and they have become somewhat crunchy/brittle and therefore pseudoedible. Except I can tell that they're there. I've only eaten one scone (will probably chuck the rest out soon. They really are that bad. I rarely throw out food) and it felt like I was swallowing a hedgehog. It was horrific.
The weekend is nearly over. I sad now.
