Phew! Can you believe it's all over for another year? We are winding down from Christmas and spending some time with family and friends. Just wanted to share with you a follow-on from Beck's post about her lovely apricots (fabulous jam by the way). I was lucky enough to get a bowlful. Before everyone scarfed them all, I managed to convert some of these plump beauties into some excellent chutney. Some of which found its way back to Beck along with lemon curd and vanilla sugar. Needless to say the house smelled wonderful and the chutney goes brilliantly with ham on toast (or cheese for you vegetarians, avocado for you vegans) and a cup of tea of course...

The most beautiful medusa ever
I was very excited to hear that Natalia Vodianova is going to play Medusa in Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981 film, which will be released in March 2010. Here is a quick preview with Natalia appearing in the video at 1:44.

HARVEST OF THE WEEK
jam session
from this...
This isnt the first time we've made jam here on hml (who could forget our sticky ode to Nathan Buckley a few years back) but it is the first time we've done it with fruit straight out of our very own backyard, and with the long distance guidance of melbourne's own Supreme High Priestess of Jam the lovely Penelope Durston. As you would have noted from yesterday's post, it's come up a treat, and lovely to think I actually managed to get something done with all those apricots before the bats finally finished them off. It was actually super easy and only took a couple of hours.
So, here's Last Minute Gift tip Number One - consider taking advantage of all that awesome stone fruit around at the moment and whip up a batch for your friends, family, work mates or significant scone eater etc...

BROADCAST OF THE WEEK
who listens to the radio?
Well it's Ramona's last RRR appearance this year this morning. She'll be talking up making last minute Christmas gifts, buying handmade and New Year craft resolutions with the gals on the grapevine. She isn't going empty handed either - beautiful apricot jam from Beck's Northcote crop and some lemon curd fresh from the hml kitchen last night! 102.7 streaming here...

Focus on: over the knee boots
Once upon a time I had a pair black suede of over the knee boots and they made me feel so stylish (nobody else wore them in my school - oh, yes, this WAS a long time ago :) ). I am happy to see the return of the thigh high beauties and although the post is a little bit delayed, it's better to do it late than never.
