about scones and informatics

i'm struggling badly with the net connection.. for some awful reason the wireless one is not working and this pissed me off hugely this morning.
i'm not too good at informatics and such.. or better, i could be pretty good if i was not so upset-able by the smallest trouble. when i get these warning messages about errors and programs closing by themselves i tend to freak out a little bit LOL

i was so annoyed and trying to find a solution that i skipped breakfast and when i checked the time it was already 1pm and i realized i was hungry as hell eheh so once again the choice went to one of my fav things and made some quick scones.
there's something weirdly attractive in scones.. they get on well with salty spreads, sweet spreads.. even better when there's a little contrast salty-sweet.. they're quite bread-like but it's not such a pain to make them (i made bread some few times and it came out good.. too bad it took me a lifetime ahah)
they're a bit like muffins.. extremely quick and easy to make, they give you almost total freedom of flavor choice.. you can put the hell in that dough and it will work :D
when i'm to make muffins and scones, usually it's a sudden decision and the approach is more like cooking creativeness on a very versatile basis.. i have a basic recipe and from there i can change it to suit a new ingredient, a different flavor.. mix all together a bit roughly (because you never have to mix these two kinds of dough too much or the delicious texture will be lost) and bake!these scones are pretty good.. i usually prefer not to put salty ingredients like bacon or seasoned cheese in the dough because i like to spread them with berry jams. in this case i dig spreading fresh cheese, cottage cheese or (in such moments of dreadful taste LOL) peanut butter. sounds weird but to me it doesnt taste bad at all on these here.

i used speck instead of bacon.. first of all because i had one and not the other, secondly i like speck way better than bacon eheh i have to precise though that usually i use pancetta, which is italian kind of bacon, of the smoked kind (that imo tastes way better)
