Spelt Blueberry Scones With Coconut

This recipe has been submitted to YeastSpotting on 9/6/2012. I never made scones before. I tasted scones, I saw many pictures of them, but it never occurred to me that I can make my own.

Periodically I find myself taking stock of my pantry content and come to realization that my stocking abilities are quite lame.

Please to the table -- stuffed sweet peppers with beef and couscous

Stuffed Sweet Peppers

Initially, I was just going to repost an older recipe, along with a nostalgic essay I did on stuffed peppers called Pepperfest.  When I checked the aforementioned post, I realized that the recipe has changed considerably and it might be worth sharing separately.  Not to mention, the pictures turned out quite alright.
