Why I totally love England.

*This is the story of the day I actually did something super duper productive*

Alright. So, today my dad and I were out shopping at an international food market. They have different sections for food that's from different countries, and I, being like, TOTALLY in love with anything from England(or Canada, for that matter. ;D) wanted to go to the English section; mostly because they have Canadian chocolate bars that aren't sold in the US(such as better tasting KitKats, Aero Bars, and Mars Bars). But, I found some lemon curd! 8D So I was like, "OMGZ WE HAS TO GET THIS!!!" because it's like, totally awesome.

Since I wasn't really feeling in the mood to just eat the awesome imported spread with a spoon(which I still did anyway. XD) I thought, "Hey, why don't I make scones?" So, about 2 hours later, I was in the kitchen and actually making some scones. (Hey, I know this whole thing may be like, super-duper-ultra-boring so far, but I spent like, two hours doing everything, and I haven't baked scones before, and for me, this was a practically life-changing event.)

While my scones were in the oven, I had the idea of making tea so I could be having English food; which was a pretty fruking(don't ask) awesome idea. (Despite the fact that all the countries in Hetalia say England's scones suck. XD But nobody mentioned the tea being terrible, and I like tea, so I thought, "Why not?") And to say the least, the whole process was interesting...

Now, for the revealing of it all...

This, my dear readers, is what two hours of work and standing to make authentic English food looks like. I made everything in the picture, except for the cookies(which I didn't eat at all) and the lemon curd, which we bought. Oh, and the scones probably look weird because they're brushed with egg yolk, but I don't really care. If they taste delicious(in my opinion), does appearance REALLY matter? XD But, anyway, I used our fine china, because I wanted it to be all special, considering I haven't had tea in two years. D:

The cream and sugar dishes. :D I even got a sugar spoon, so I'm pretty proud of myself. *is pretty proud*

Yum. Lemon curd... And I know it may not LOOK appetizing, but trust me. This stuff is AWESOME.

And last, but not least, my tea. It was AMAZING. In fact, I had about seven cups of tea today JUST because it was so awesome. 8D

And this, is why I totally love England; not the character. (Although, for the record, I do like England in Hetalia... ;D)

So, did you guys do anything that you're proud of lately? :D

P.S. Because I loved this food SOOO much(oh, the irony...), and it's all relatively easy to make, I decided that I'm going to have tea and scones for breakfast every day now. :) It's better than having a bowl of cereal every day, to say the least...

P.P.S. I'm considering changing Willow's last name from Pine to Lane... What do YOU think? D:
