A Recipe for Scones

Step 1: have your mother make a batch of spiced pumpkin scones studded with raisins.

Step 2: Dump flour over the entire thing when she's not looking.

Step 3: Poke holes in as many as you can.

Step 4: replenish your energy stores by eating some of the extra flour (dump extra in Step 2 if you're worried there might not be enough by the time you reach Step 4)

Yup, looking good.

Step 5: clean up the table by eating the rest of the flour.

Step 6: ....Oooh, chickadee on the window!
