Orange Buttermilk English Scones

I want to talk briefly about friendship since I am dedicating this post (Orange Buttermilk English Scones) to my friend Temather. I will not talk about her much or in detail, she might not like it, but I will mention what is so special about her.

Orange Buttermilk English Scones.

Temather and I met at school, she’s my classmate and she happened to be a good student while I thought there are better things to do than that! Her English is perfect (She’s half British) and I’m still working on mine (Arabic is my mother tongue.) I haven’t met someone as patient as her, on the other hand, I can go off like a time bomb in a jiffy. I guess you can tell that we don’t have much in common.

Yet she is the best friend I ever had. We can stop communicating for months, and then I pick up the phone, call her, and we will pick up from where we left off.

Today, these light, moist, and full of flavor Orange Buttermilk English Scones, is a virtual gift from me to her, for being my friend, for coping with my crazy moments, and for accepting me, the way I am.

Love you Temather.
