Is She Gonna Make Us An Offer We Can't Refuse?

Remember when we gave Rita a pony for her birthday?
Well, we think maybe she's going to make us an offer we can't refuse, because we found this:
A message in the bed
What kind of Monday mischief is she contemplating????? We're not sure yet what her offer will be. I think it will be to be a good girl as long as we hand over the treats. And nobody gets hurt.

In Other "Sweet" Mischief...
I sent out my 2nd quarterly author newsletter on Friday. I included a scone recipe, as a nod to Jane, the main character in Rescue Me, Maybe who agrees to help out her uncle at his small-town B&B by working as the breakfast chef.

On Saturday morning, it occurred to me - I forgot to list the sugar when I was typing up the list of ingredients for the newsletter! D'oh. So embarrassing... Had to send the corrected recipe out to everyone on Saturday.

In better news, I made the recipe on Sunday and they were delicious! Because I remembered the sugar!
Carrot Cake Scones. Complete with sugar. Yum!

  1. Even though it's almost midnight those scones look amazing. I could eat TWO with a hot cup of coffee right now! PS: so sorry to hear about the decapitation of the pony BOL

  2. Rita did an excellent job at beheading her pony. Our Bentley would have left the head and chewed off the rope legs & tail first. Mmmm, that sugar glaze on the scones looks yummy.

  21. When I saw your revised newsletter, I had to chuckle. When I had been sharing a dog treat recipe last week, I made up a whole photo with a picture and the ingredients lidt, and then when I was proofreading my post....realized I had left flour off the ingredient list. Only good thing was that I at least caught it before I published! I still had to do the whole photo thing all over again though!
