food as a thank you - donna's daily dish

The other day I was going to be out for quite awhile. We have a fifteen year old Brittney Spaniel that is beginning to require even more attention than we give her. I called on a neighbor to come over several times to let her out. How do you thank neighbors who are kind enough to do this task for you? I find sharing a home baked item is always appreciated.I was in the mood for double chocolate scones, however, I know that if I baked them, I would find myself eating more than just one.

I found this recipe many years ago in Better Homes and Garden Magazine. Sharing part of the scones is a perfect remedy to over indulging. So yesterday morning, still slightly warm from the oven, I made my way over to my neighbors' house. It was a perfect match for their morning tea.
