When women are depressed, they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. |

Food Tip |
Food, one assumes, provides nourishment; but Americans eat it fully aware that small amounts of poison have been added to improve its appearance and delay its putrefaction. |

There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt
and baking soda in food processor. Pulse once or twice to combine.
Add butter. Pulse 10 to 12 times or until mixture resembles fresh
bread crumbs. (You can use pastry blender to cut butter into flour if
you don't have a food processor.) 3. Transfer mixture to large bowl.
Add 1 cup buttermilk, stirring quickly to combine. If mixture is too
dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough holds
together and is slightly stringy and crumbly. Turn out onto lightly
floured surface. Knead 6 to 7 times (do not knead more than that or
scones will become tough). 4. Divide dough in half. With floured
hands, press each half into 9x4-inch rectangle. With short side
facing you, fold into thirds like a business letter. Press each
portion into 6 to 7-inch circle; place on ungreased baking sheet. Cut
each circle into 6 equal wedges; pull wedges slightly apart. Brush
tops with remaining buttermilk. Let stand 10 minutes. 5. Bake in 400
degree oven for 20 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned. Remove
and serve warm.
Ham and Sage Scones: Add 4 ounces cubed boiled ham and 1 teaspoon
dried sage with butter. Pulse 10 to 12 times until ham pieces are no
larger than grains of rice. Instead of pressing dough into circles,
press each half into 7 1/2-inch square. Cut each into 8 squares.
Cheddar Cheese Scones: Add 4 ounces cubed Cheddar and 1/4 to 1/2
teaspoon cayenne pepper along with butter. Process 10 to 12 times
until cheese pieces are no larger than dried peas. After brushing
tops with buttermilk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, using about 2
teaspoons total.
Rosemary and Black Olive Scones: After dividing dough in half,
scatter 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary and 1/4 cup chopped
kalamata olives (about 10 olives) over each batch of dough before it
is folded into thirds.
