Micah The Eng by Sir Charles Creamybutter

Once upon a time in a far off land there were two groups of people - One was called The Eng and the other called The Scot. The Eng were a proud people that frequently traveled the country side as vagabonds in search of purpose. The Scot were a pleasant people that spent their days at the base of a hill working the land to feed their people and not venturing beyond what they could see. This land had become known as the Happy Valley because of its beautiful green fields and pleasant people.

One day, while wandering the hillsides above the Happy Valley, The Eng happened upon The Scot by chance and were amazed at their happy demeanor and cheerful joy of working in the surrounding fields. The Eng made camp for several days at the crest of the hill unnoticed by The Scot, in order to watch and observe The Scot people as they arose early each morning and to the sounds of soft, sweet music headed out into the fields to gather grain.

One day, one of The Eng children wandered down the hillside unbeknownst to anyone and was soon seen tugging on the long skirt of one of the field workers speaking Eng-ese, which was quite foreign to the female field worker. But taken by the big brown eyes and bright smile of the beautiful child and naturally feeling compelled, she turned and reached down to shake the child's hand, even though she did not understand where the child had come from. With no fear, the child put his arms around the lady and hugged her with ease and for both there was an instant connection.

Soon from above, the natural mother of the child was amazed as she became aware of what had happened and quickly shot down the hillside in haste as everyone now noticed each other and for a short moment there was tension. But as the two ladies eyes met with the beautiful child holding on with one arm and reaching for his mother with the other, there were soon three in the silhouette and smiles for everyone.

Gradually, one by one, each of The Eng began to rise and move down the hillside as if a play was unfolding, where they were met by the welcoming Scots and soon there was music throughout the land. That evening, The Eng provided the milk and butter while the Scot crushed the grain from the field and over an open fire in a cast-iron griddle there was born the Scot-Eng which became the Sco-eng which later became the Scone.

That little child was known simply as Micah The Eng…

Micah's Scones (a poem) by Sweetie Biscuit

When I wake up in the morning, I turn on the coffee maker,
Then wander to the front-porch to find the morning paper.

Mama has now arisen and begun to mix the batter
Listening with a smile to all the children's chatter.

The table is set as I read the morning news
As everyone arrives and sits where they choose.

Micah's Scones are done and stacked on our plates
I say a short prayer to begin another day

Its Snickerdoodle this morning, it was Choco Chip the day before
I can't wait for tomorrow, for what Micah has in the store.

The History of Scones as told by Jae Gee

It is generally assumed that Scones originated in Scotland where they used a fine white flower, sour milk or buttermilk with some sort of raising agent. They were either baked in the oven or on a griddle in the form of a small cake. In the beginning, they were quite plan served with butter, preservatives and thick cream much like a warm biscuit. Today in places like Scotland and England the varieties are virtually endless. Potato Scones, drop scones, ballater scones, wholemeal scones, soda scones, treacle scones to dried fruit scones of cranberries, currants, raisins and the list goes on.

Chef Micah has entered the fray by adding chocolate chips, chocolate toffee, white chocolate chip, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, snickerdoodels as well as cranberry and pumpkin. More on the sweet side, they are wonderful with either tea, coffee and or cream as a delightful snack or dessert.
