Quiche Lorraine Scones

Gah!
That was a nail-biting game for the Patriots.
I really wasn't sure they were going to pull it off!

There were only 4 of us in the room watching the game, and I could hear each of our hearts thumping.
Or...it could have just been mine multiplied.

OMG
We are off to the big game!

Feb 4th I will be in a house with 30 friends and family.
I have the feeling we would manage to set blood pressure records.
(do we remember last year, holy schnikes!)
