Saviolo's JournalButtery Sesame Seed Scones recipe
While he still had his restaurant open, hubby was looking for little nibbles that we could make in advance and serve to customers who came in hungry and had a line in front of them before getting their food. One of the ideas we had was just house-made scones, so we looked up some scones recipes! This is adapted from a sweet scone recipe we found, but he eliminated the sugar and adjusted the recipe a bit, and also added lots of sesame seeds to it to make it a savoury scone instead. It's a similar technique to biscuits, but the fat/flour proportions are different, and there's no egg in the dough itself (though we do use an egg wash at the end).
These are really excellent, light, and flaky. They go well with butter, cheese, and even fruit jams and jellies. If you don't like/have sesame seeds you could probably use poppy seeds on this as well, or maybe even flax seeds or sunflower seeds. It doesn't require the seeds, we love them because they add flavour and texture, but it's all up to you.
For fans of the Diablo series
DiabloIII is having a special event that started yesterday and runs until the end of the month called "The Darkening of Tristram"

From the site:
Looks like you enter a portal that takes you from the ruined cathedral from DiabloIII back to the original labyrinth of Tristram from Diablo, full of retro graphics, loot, and enemies.
I'll be starting a new character!
Getting rid of your turkey leftovers - Turkey Soup Recipe
We actually filmed this much closer to making the turkey, but we thought it would make more sense to put it up in the new year, so that the eggnog video could go up before New Years. This is just a super simple and delicious soup made from leftover turkey (from our spatchcocked roasted turkey) and veggies. Of course, it's super easy to customize this recipe with different veggies, hot sauce, Worchestershire, thickened with a roux, adding noodles, whatever you like. This is a basic recipe to add your own flair to!
This is a perfect recipe for keeping warm while this cold front settles in on the Northeast! Hope everyone's staying nice and warm, and also that no one is suffering any major travel disruptions.
