Directions
The great thing about experimenting with scone recipes is that you get to eat them! I made these pistachio scones a few times. I wanted them to go perfectly with my pomegranate jam. And transport me to the Middle East, where these flavours are prominent.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Pistachio Scones ♥
As I have mentioned before, there are a few things I purchase from overseas. One of them is toothbrush replacement heads. They are so much cheaper in the UK and Europe. I finally ran out in June but had expected to get a couple from a friend whose partner is in the dental industry. However, when that didn’t happen I had to make a plan. We have a local delivery company here called Takealot. They have expanded their range considerably since we went into hard lockdown. I found a generic brand on their site and decided to place the order. The price was reasonable compared to what I had been paying. And online they looked like the Braun equivalent I normally purchase. I have found however that many Oral B knock off products don’t actually fit our toothbrushes perfectly. To make it economical I ordered a pack of 12.

As this did not come to delivery value I added some vacuum seal bags to my order. I don’t need them right now, but they will never go to waste. I had also already added some laundry whitener which in hindsight I should have removed, but that is a story for another day! Delivery from them is fairly quick and within 48 hours I had our new toothbrush heads. I am quite fastidious about changing them regularly, but reckoned a few days would not matter. Thankfully when I took them home they fitted perfectly. The brush heads are not the same as we usually use, but that was my fault for not looking properly at the photograph. They do however work which is really all that matters. Do you have an electric toothbrush, and if so, do you buy genuine or generic heads for it?
