I’ve been away in Seattle and busy with school so I apologize for the lack of updates! You should expect to see a bunch of pictures of new items that I’m working on for Senshi Matsuri very soon.
That being said…I’ve also decided that once we hit 400 followers there will be another giveaway!

The Lemon is in Play Bow | by Geekilicious
It’s about time I did something Cabin Pressure themed since I listen to it almost every time I’m crafting. The bow is available with or without Martin’s hat.
I’m working on an Arthur bow and some earrings as well and I hope to have those available soon.
It’s official!
Geekilicious will have a table at the very first Senshi Matsurl NYC on June 30th! I believe the event is already sold out, but I hope some of you tumblrers out there already have your tickets.
I’m am uber excited about this event as Sailor Moon was one of my first fandoms and something I still hold very near and dear to my heart. It’s going to be awesome to meet some fellow moonies.
In addition to the bows above, I will have a few different versions of Sailor Moon and Mini Moon bows. I will also have some jewelry and headbands…maybe even a few sketch cards.
Hope to see you there!

I have completely fallen in love with Dean Winchester. Dean Winchester loves pie and whiskey. I also love both of those things so I came up with this treat that I think he would enjoy.

INGREDIENTS:
For the pies
1 refrigerated pie crust
2 Granny Smith apples diced into small cubes
3 tsp of lemon juice
1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
1/4 brown sugar
1/4 of pecan pieces
For the caramel:
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/2 of half and half (or heavy cream)
2 tbsp of butter
1/4 tsp of salt (a maybe a pinch more)
2 tbsp of Jack Daniels
Directions:
Start off making the caramel first.
Heat the sugar in a dry saucepan, swirling until it turns a deep golden brown (about 10 minutes.)
In another pan, melt the half and half, butter and salt together.
Remove sugar pan from heat. Carefully pour butter mixture into sugar stirring constantly. Return to heat and simmer while stirring until everything is incorporated.
Remove from heat again and stir in whiskey. Let cool and preheat your oven to 400.
Bring the pie crust out of the fridge so it warms to room temperature while you peel and dice the Granny Smith apples. They ones I found were huge!
Add them to a bowl along with your pecans, lemon juice, 1/4 of brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Mix…and don’t be afraid to use your hands like I did. It’s more fun that way.
Once your pie crust is room temperature, use a large mug, a small bowl or a large biscuit cutter to make an even number of circles. I was able to get 8 after I squished together the excess and rolled it out again.
Place half of the circles on a greased baking sheet and carefully spoon filling onto each one. I will leave it up to you to decide how much, but of you overstuff it they won’t close! You should be able to gauge it.
On top of each little pile of filling, also drizzle on a teaspoon of your whiskey caramel.
Now place the other circles on top and press shut with your fingers, then press along the edges with a fork. I sprayed each top with a bit of butter flavored cooking spray before sticking them in the oven. An egg wash would work as well.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges and tops turn golden brown.
Let them cool and top with ice cream, whipped cream or more caramel…mmmm.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/ea5c5224928075d1e4166187415811c8/tumblr_mlmerqKdjg1qhv8pio1_1280.jpg)

So this recipe is the perfect storm of things that were on my mind as I wandered into the kitchen the other day. I was craving scones and wanted to have a cup of tea while I started rewatching Sherlock (because seriously all of the season 3 stuff on Tumblr is making me relive my feels.) I was going to settle on making myself a good old London Fog…never had one? I suggest you make yourself one. I always use Reichenbach Recovery when I make them because it just makes it that much better. But then it occurred to me that I could combine the two. I will warn you that I tried to lighten up the recipe, but if that’s not your thing you can sub out some stuff.
Let’s get to it!
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups of unsweetened almond milk (cream or milk work too)
2 tbsp of honey (add a little more if you like a sweeter scone)
3 tsp of Reichenbach Recovery
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tbsp baking powder
6 tbsp of Smart Balance butter blend (or regular butter)
1 1/2 tbsp of vanilla
Directions:
Combine the almond milk, honey and tea in a small sauce pan. Steep on low heat for 10-12 minutes.
When it is fully steeped, pour through a strainer into a airtight container and place in the fridge to cool. It must be completely cooled before you can add it to the flour mixture.
Preheat the oven to 375.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder together. Next cut in the butter using two knives. (Or if you have a food processor just throw everything in there.) Cut or pulse until the butter is in small crumbles.
Now if your tea mixture is cool enough add the vanilla to it.
It’s going to smell awesome, but don’t drink it! Now you have to add it slowly to the flour. The dough shouldn’t be too wet, it should just barely come together. If it is too wet add a bit more flour and do not over mix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1 1/2 inches. Then cut or shape the scones however you’d like.
Brush the tops with almond milk before putting them in the oven. You could also use melted butter and sugar instead of the milk.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Don’t burn your mouth trying to eat them as soon as they come out of the oven like I did!
These are great with a little strawberry jam and cream. I like to use this Mock Devonshire Cream recipe.
Enjoy!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/e41d1e12d999c8e765d5345a5966e1a1/tumblr_ml1vulnyjU1qhv8pio1_1280.png)
