my dear friend gillian (childhood friend!) had a holiday party in brooklyn last night. she requested i bake chocolate chip scones (umm yumm!) so i baked chocolate chip cookies for my kids (once in the kitchen i can’t not bake for them too) and scones for gillian.
then keith and i picked up my friend leslie (gillian, leslie and i are best friends from childhood) and together we went to brooklyn. we laughed A LOT.
and i drank. yep. i did.

Sarah N. says
A baking blog and a video blog all in one… thank you! What part of Brooklyn is that? DUMBO? Brooklyn Heights?
trixilaru says

…looked like a great party…nothing better than getting together with old friends and lots of great food….and drinks…those are the best kinds of parties.It’s good to see you having a good time.
Sarah N. says
Well then that view must cost millions! And I don’t say that to speak about money, I just mean that it’s really special. DUMBO is pretty neat.
jill says
nice to see you smile jennifer – and it’s genuine! the scones look lovely,although it looks as though they just came out of the oven instead of ready to go in..it’s early in the morn and i want one for breakfast. happy holidays!
Newsguy says
Is that someone’s residence or a public venue? The view is right out of a movie.
Ladymissgailo says
I LOVE the video!!!
Nadia says
Your friends look about your age, and they all seem fit. See? There’s no excuse.
Julie - Aitkin, MN says
Cute heart scones! I just might have to buy that book! How did they taste? Were they made with cranberries? I think I’d use dried cherries!
Picky says
The cookies and scones are beyond beautiful!!!!! You looked great in the video – but please tell Gillian to remove the chairs from around the table next time she hosts a party…unless people are supposed to sit at the table, the chairs are a nuisance to reach over!
to Nadia says
that is a rude comment. must be hard
to be so perfect.
haleigh says
Jen…
You looked SO CUTE!!!!!
I like scones says
jennifer jenni FUR
looks good you and Lexie bake very cute stuff…
Nicole from CA says
It looks like you had a great time…. I wish that my friends would throw a party like that. The scones and cookies look great. Glad to see that you are baking again…. It helps me forget about the fact that I can’t get preggers……. maybe feeding others butter filled snacks will send the fertility gods my way!
Have a wonderful week.
Oh and BYW…. nadia does not seem like a nice person!
MM says
Jen you thank you for giving us a glimpse into your personal life through video!! The scones look great and you looked fantiastic!! I wish you a very happy 2009 with joy and peace.
Robin from Okla says
WOWZA, I love that VIEW!
Rex says
View IS great….funny I thought the same thing as Nadia. I’ll bet a lot others did too. It has nothing to do with being a ‘nice person’, it has to do with making an observation but that will be lost on all you Hutt sycophants.
Zoie CA says
thoes cookies look so so so good! If you don’t mind I am going to use the hear shaped scone idea for valintines day.
That party look fun!
Happy Holidays!
Shellie says
I absolutely love Alexis’ cookie recipe! I have used it for several years and is one of my favourites.
Kathryn says
You’re gorgeous!!
To Rex and Nadia says
Are you KIDDING me??? Go through any mall or airport in suburbia and you’ll find women in wayyyy worse shape then Jennifer will ever be in. Jennifer is an honest down to earth gal who has made no bones about the fact that she could be in better shape. Look at Oprah or Rosie and you’ll see what real women relate to. If you’re looking for a super model, this is NOT the place to be trolling!
nadia and rex suck says
nadia…why such a hater? are you perfect? maybe someday you will be fortunate enough to experience the stress and sadness that jennifer has had this year.
(i’m sure we all hope you get a dose of that for xmas this year…and if you are jewish, may you get one dose of it for every night of hannukah)
throw those stones when you do not live in a glass house.
rex, you made observations…good for you… YOU must be perfect, i mean after all, you are a MAN commenting on a blog where the targeted demographic is WOMEN…so while you may be in a position to pass judgement on jennifer and those of us who truly enjoy / appreciate the entertainment the whatever girls provide…you apparently have no life.
take the word sycophant shove it up your ass buddy…we are fans…we can and will flatter those that entertain us.
perhaps you both ended up on the wrong blog…you should be at i’m_a_douchebag.com.
JENNIFER…KEEP BLOGGING SISTER! ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING…YOU BRIGHTEN SO MANY DAYS!!!!
