English Scones
My most joyful scone-eating experience was not at the Waldorf in London, although I have eaten them there. Scones, to me, taste best served up in foil at a fire’s edge in a Kootenay winter. There, I often rode horses with a wiry, white-haired witty fellow of whom who’s name I cannot recall. He leased acreage from Kimberley mine and there had an old barn, an appaloosa, and a quarterhorse. We tacked up in WWII cavalry saddles and set out. At mid-day, we’d build a fire. He’d make Camp coffee. It’s a bottled coffee extract that you add to hot water. I would bring foil-wrapped baked scones, sliced in half and stuffed with thick slices of sharp cheddar and thin rings of raw onion. The foiled package sat at the fire’s edge for a bit. There’s not much finer than a warm scone, a fire in winter, a tin cup of coffee, and a pair of horses nearby stomping at the snow.

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
