The world according to Scott H: November 2011
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. One thing that few people know about me is that I like to make my own jams and preserves. I grow a lot of my own food, and jams and preserves are a great way to use surpluses at the end of the season. This photo shows some of my recent efforts: there's my old reliable green tomato relish, my berry and rhubarb jam, tangy strawberry jam, a new one I can't wait to try, spicy tomato and ginger jam, and my three fruit marmalade (lemon, lime and kumquot).

The world according to Scott H: September 2010
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. First produce of the season. Great excitement today as I picked my first bunch of asparagus for the year. I'll fry these in some butter and serve them with pepper and Parmesan cheese tonight. Asian high tea (kind of). This past weekend Tom and I went to Melbourne, which is always a nice thing to do (I still miss living there, I must admit). Just like old days :). Over the weekend we also went to the Oriental Tea House. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The world according to Scott H: Afternoon tea review: Mint Hotel, Manchester
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2011/03/afternoon-tea-review-mint-hotel.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. Afternoon tea review: Mint Hotel, Manchester. We stayed for a couple of nights at the simple but lovely Mint Hotel. And enjoyed their surprisingly good (not to mention good value) afternoon tea. They had a lovely selection of sandwiches, nice scones, and nice, not too heavy cakes. The Piccadilly Lounge is a lovely place for people watching. It gets a solid 8.5 out of 10 on the Scott Scale. That makes my current rankings look like this:. 9758; Plea...

The world according to Scott H: Redwoods in Canberra?
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2011/07/redwoods-in-canberra.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. I was pretty fascinated to read in a recent Tim the Yowie Man article in the Canberra Times that there was an experimental grove of redwood trees planted in Canberra, just near the airport. Turns out, instinct is correct. The trees have made a valiant effort but they are slowly dying from lack of water and heat stress. Apparently much of the original forest has been destroyed for airport expansion. Afternoon tea review: Gooromon Park, Hall. Review...

The world according to Scott H: Bumper pumkin crop
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2011/04/bumper-pumkin-crop.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. Very pleased with the harvest from my two Australian butter pumpkin vines this autumn - three huge pumpkins and eight smaller ones. There will be plenty of delicious pumpkin soup this winter! How the government rounded on Newstart. Most of the really bad decisions made by governments are mistakes, ones they are reluctant to admit. The decision to withdraw $4.40 a week from unemploye.

The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. Afternoon tea review: NGV Tea Room. I always try to have my birthday off work if it's at all possible. This year I managed to swing not just 1 but 3 days. Tom and I will be having 2 days in Melbourne and then 2 days in the beautiful Yarra Valley. Top of the agenda is eating. I am quite looking forward to it! But back to the present day. Today Anna and I had afternoon tea at the NGV tea room. The NGV tea room proved a great location for a relaxing ...

The world according to Scott H: Elizabeth Taylor
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2011/03/elizabeth-taylor.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. Sad news today that Elizabeth Taylor - truly the last of the great movie stars - has died aged 79 after many years of illnesses. I thought she was astonishingly beautiful in her heyday, and not a bad actress despite making many not so great films - but in her good films she really was terrific. I loved her in National Velvet. And Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Even in her lesser films she was always good. Afternoon tea review: Swissotel London.
