Chicken wings and veggies on a skewer.... Again, I'm back in the kitchen.....

This evening I made some sesame ginger chicken wings and veggies with pineapple on a skewer.


Since I didn't have a grill handy, I ended up baking/broiling them in the oven.

I must say it all tasted great to me (smile).

Next time, I'm going to stir fry the veggies and see how that tastes...

Cilla out..........

Star Trek Anyone?

I love Star Trek, but am more a fan of the original television series of James T. Kirk and his crew (Spock, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, Dr. McCoy "Bones," Scotty).

Today we went to a Star Trek exhibition at the Aerospace Museum Of California. (A place my brother wanted to visit).

The price of $16.00 (adult)...... allowed you entrance to the Star Trek exhibit (see description below) and to tour the Museum.

If you are a first timer and/or a fan of the Star Trek series, then I'm sure you will like it.

A few years ago, I was able to visit "Star Trek - The Experience" at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas. It closed in 2008

Note: For all you trekkie fans out there, the Star Trek convention will be in Las Vegas - August 5th thru the 8th. William Shatner (Kirk) and Leonard Nimoy (Spock) will be there........ http://www.creationent.com/cal/stlv.htm

PJ and Scones


Instead of buying Scones from Panera Bread or LaBou, I wanted to learn to make my own. By making them myself, I can eat them when I want, and share them with friends when I have tea and tea gatherings.

I found a recipe online, and changed it up a bit to make it my own. It's blueberry scones. Along with blueberry, I also make chocolate chip and even just plain scones to have with some lemon curd.

I've shared the scones at a few gatherings recently, and the feedback I've received was very positive.

I can think of a few fundraisers that I'd like to participate in at my church, or donate to some organizations giving out free food. We will see.

I'm also trying to pair up the scones with a few types of tea, but I haven't fully decided.

The ones in this post, I made with whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. They taste fine to me.......


I am going to post the recipe in my tea society's next newsletter.
