Assuming the W is correct, could I get an O, please.

Thanks, Davina! The first recipe is very close to the one that I used to use...I've bookmarked it so I can find it again. I like to eat scones still warm from the oven with a pot of tea for breakfast during the winter. Thanks again for the links!

Could I have a Q please? (BTW, did you miss an M, or is it just my imagination?  )

First Annual Midwestern Sherlock Scone Bake-Off 

Hi, Ima. I'm pleased to meet another Midwesterner, there may actually be enough of us here for a tea party!

I love tea parties...any occasion that allows for more discussion of Sherlock is fine by me! And I'll even bake some scones for the occasion!

Ohhh, I think Meijer (you have Meijer in Indy, right?) had boxes of scone mix. I know they have lemon curd and clotted cream. I'll have to look. Thanks for the info!

We also have a Meijer in Champaign, Illinois (about 45 minutes north of where I am). I've tried their box mix and did not care for it, though you might like it. I like the others because the only thing you add to them is heavy whipping cream, which gives them a very nice texture without being too dry. And they have several different kinds, like cranberry/orange and chocolate chip. 

Just on a side note, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Meijer (the founder of the Meijer stores) when I was in Michigan. He is a very nice person and still very active in spite of his advanced years. And he knows everything about every one of his stores, including the one in Champaign! lol

I'm fairly close to you as well, ImaSherlockGirl - Grand Rapids, MI. Maybe 5 or 6 hours away? Idk...it takes me 5 to get to Indianapolis. 

Do you happen to have a recipe for scones? I know there are MANY on the internet, but they differ slightly enough that I'm not sure which one is going to produce a proper scone. If that makes sense.

I'm about 2 or 2 1/2 hours south and west of Indy. I've not been to Grand Rapids before but I did visit Holland a couple of years ago for the Tulip Festival.

I do have one or two "scratch" recipes for scones but it's been awhile since I've used them...I'll see if I can find them again.

Lately I've been using some box mixes that I found at a couple of different British food stores, one in St. Charles, Missouri and the other in Nashville, Indiana. They're not bad actually. Also, Iveta Gourmet (an on-line outlet) has some good scone mixes that you can order on-line along with genuine English clotted cream and lemon curd (I put both on my scones!). If you have any interest in these I'll be happy to pass on their business card info.

I think I like the idea of purple silk boxers for Sherlock...to match his PSoS, of course!

Hi Banbha! Pleasure to meet you, and welcome to the forum! 

Introductions Please... » Hello » September 4, 2012 2:31 am

Welcome to the forum, NW16XE! Reading through all the posts here it sounds like you and I have a lot in common but I can't remember everything at the moment...suffice to say I've been a tea drinker for years and I love scones (I've been known to make my own) and my daughter occasionally has to remind me that I am not British... oh well, I guess that's what happens when you watch more British programming than American.

I did notice that you are located fairly close to me...I'm in Illinois, about 45 minutes from Terre Haute. Years ago I lived in South Bend.

Anyway, hope you have lots of fun here!

OMG England will FALL!

Why kill off Mrs H? I doubt they would actually.

Ummm, did I miss something? I thought Hoosier said MRS.WATSON dies, NOT Mrs. H....

You're probably right, Mattlocked. We should maybe let her catch up a bit...

Things Sherlock would never do. Or say:

Apologize to Anderson
Become Ordinary
Change his behavior
Dust off the flat
Eat while working a case
Flower arranging (imagine!)

Get sentimental
