I mentioned that Djokovic has a 6-0 record against Nadal this year, but what I didn’t tell you is that all six of his victories have come in the finals of tournaments with two wins coming in grand-slam finals – Wimbledon and the US Open.

There are a variety of baked goods available at Starbucks, but this is one of my favourites. It’s something between a cookie and a biscuit. This scone is a great treat during a coffee break, especially as the weather gets chillier. You can even pack them for school, they are just as tasty served cold. As a side note, if the term pumpkin is scaring you, don’t let it. Many people that don’t like pumpkin pie, love these scones! Ingredients: Scones: 2 cups of all purpose flour 7 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 6 tablespoons cold butter 1/2 cup canned pumpkin 3 tablespoons half-and-half (or milk) 1 large egg Spiced glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 2 tablespoons whole milk 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 pinch ginger 1 pinch ground cloves Directions: Prep Time: 15 minutes; Total Time: 30 minutes 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spices in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife, fork or food processor, cut butter into the dry ingredients until mixture is Photo by Tiffany Lizée crumbly and no chunks of butter are obvious. Set bowl aside. 3.

What look do you love on a guy? – Anything that makes him look like he just crawled out of a garbage can – so grungy, casual and rough. I still hope he is clean, though. Do you notice the loud guy or the quiet guy first? – Loud! The louder the better, that shows he’s confident and funny (ish). What is your opinion on guys and their ‘close’ girlfriends? Do you feel there are always more to the story? – I would want to meet her first. Then see how their relationship is and how they are around each other. My opinion would go from there. I would only be suspicious if given reason. Your opinion on jealousy? – A little bit of jealousy is important to show that there are true feelings. I do believe in standing your ground in certain situations. However, it’s only a big deal if you make it a big deal. If the guy is too jealous or doesn’t care about my feelings, then I am out of there. Thursday, September 29, 2011 The Nugget 27 28 The Nugget Thursday, September 29, 2011
