Jan wanted something light for dinner. She had picked some tomatoes and basil from the garden. She also wanted breakfast for dinner, so I made her a brochette omelette.

Karl’s Cinnamon Scone Pinwheels
I have recently been making excellent scones, but why leave it at excellent? My mother, Claudia, used to make raised dough cinnamon pinwheels. These were heavy, sweet and sticky, and took hours to make. Could I make a lighter, slightly less sweet cinnamon pinwheel that I could make in much less time?

Karl’s Canadian Scones with Currents
I was planning on making my Orange-Infused American Scones with Currents this morning, but my orange sugar had disappeared. I suspect Jan, my wife, used it for something she had baked or worse decided to tidy up my kitchen, so it could be anywhere.

Karl’s Orange-Infused American Scones with Currents
I am still trying to perfect my scone recipe. The last time I made scones I was half asleep and I added four cups of flour instead of four teaspoons of baking power. Fortunately I realized my mistake before I had added the butter. To recover I simply doubled the dry ingredients and then saved half in a plastic bag in the freezer for the next time I fancied scones.

Karl’s Orange-Infused American Scones
Jan woke up in the mood for scones. She knew that I have had a jar of double strength orange-infused sugar sitting on my counter melding for two weeks now. She asked for orange scones.

Karl’s Blueberry English Scones
Adapted from a Zurie recipe
We had leftover blueberries from dessert last night. Jan woke up with, “I wouldn’t mind blueberry scones this morning.” Please note that she never really asked for scones, but that is just her way. I usually make oatmeal scones, but today I wanted to do something different.

Karl’s Banana Oat Muffins with Pecans and Blueberries
Several months ago Cook’s Illustrated had a oat muffin recipe. I made it very closely to the recipe and my household was very disappointed in it. While it was a tasty oat cupcake, it was not a “muffin!” Cook’s illustrated did, however, have some good techniques for enhancing the oat flavor by toasting the raw oats and then grinding them into flour.

Papa English’s One-eyed Jacks (Punch-Out Eggs)
This is a recipe from Jan’s family. Truth be told, it is more of a technique than a recipe. This is so simple that even guys who do not cook can get this done. Breakfast in bed anyone?
Note on Name Change: Jan informed me that this is a recipe her father made when they were camping.

Karl’s Oatmeal Mini Scones with Orange Infused Sugar
Originally adapted from Sarah on AllRecipes.com
This recipe started life as a blueberry scone but over the last year I have been experimenting and changing it depending on my mood and available ingredients. I like to make these as mini scones, because everyone knows that three small scones are less fattening than one big one. Actually this is true, three mini scones may be the same as one big one, but if you ate just the one big one you might think, “I only had one! Another half isn’t going to hurt.” Whereas, if you are eating the mini scones you would think, “I won’t have another, I’ve already had three!”

Karl’s Banana Beer Bread
After last Sunday’s meal, the question remained about what to do with the Voodoo beer. This was an undrinkable concoction that tasted of peanuts, chocolate and an unfortunate and overpowering taste of banana. Jan suggested that it would make good banana beer bread. I have adapted my Guinness Beer Bread to include these new ingredients.
