Like the best of drug dealers, Satellite Coffee gave me my first shot for free.

It seems like just yesterday.

(cue music)

::::::::

It was Super Bowl Sunday. I was headed to work and in a sullen mood. I stopped by Satellite and co-owner Pat "Rock Hands" Brown* offered me a free blueberry scone because business was slow. As I mentioned, some dudes were playing in some football game. Anyway.

That scone changed my life. It was craggy and lightly frosted, studded with blueberries (fresh, it seemed!) and flaky tender on the inside. No doubt the work of butter and real cream.

Only, the Upper Crust baker who supplied those scones threw in his or her apron and called it quits.

Consider this my personal plea. Don't let the scone recipe die.

I get whiny when I'm hungry.

*Not actually his nickname, but that's what I call him in my head.
