Ginger biscuits at Besalu

My mom's favourite. Tonight we are making our own as tomorrow we celebrate Jane Austen's birthday a day early. One of the guys I work for belongs to the Jane Austen Society of North America and every year I bake scones and spritz cookies and bring crumpets and we celebrate in a conference room with movies of Jane's greatest hits. Jim even dresses in period clothes. He has a life size cardboard picture of her so she comes too. And you thought law firms were dull.
