As I agree with you as to getting your fingers all messy when making scones, I highly recommend a pastry blender. Not only does the butter not warm up with the touch of your fingers, there's no mess to you and the ingredients get combined as they should be. I even put my pastry blender in the freezer a little bit prior to using it. Scones come out best when all of the ingredients are cool. I've been doing this for years with much success.
A pastry blender is a great idea. Another wonderful video Nicolas - your Rose display in the pumpkin turned out really beautifully. I always look forward to your videos so thankyou for indulging us 😘🌹🥂xx
I make that type of arrangement every year to give to neighbors. I save tin cans during the year and put that in the center to hold water. Putting a thin layer of petroleum jelly on the outside extends the life of the pumpkin after I soak them in water with a small amount of bleach. I make 15-20 every Fall. Hope this helps
I, too, am Cynthia Wilson and enjoy your videos so much here in Las Vegas, NEVADA, USA. You make me feel as if I'm spending time with a friend. You are so relaxed and relaxing. I love your grace and little asides. It was cute, your reaction to the removing of the insides of the pumpkin and when you hand kneaded the butter into the dry ingredients. The glimpses into your life are refreshing and feel uncontrived and natural even if you script them a little beforehand. You are the breath of fresh air I look forward to every week. Always my best wishes.
This was wonderful. I especially like the idea of cheese scones. A few tips for you: use a glass jar inside the pumpkin (or even trim down a plastic disposable water bottle). I do this inside a chinoiserie ginger jar when I use it as a vase. Rose stems are supposed to be trimmed whilst submerged completely in a dish of water. This prevents the freshly cut edge from drying out and preventing water absorption. Don’t hate me - used to work in the flower industry. P.S. I have seen that book and love it too.
A little appreciation comment. Thank you Nicolas. I watch these videos while i fill my agenda on monday mornings. LOVE the calming voice and sweet ideas to make a home, to pay attention to detail, to make one's life special by DOING little things, not just buying stuff. You´re wonderful
I think the short pumpkin and the very fall colors of the roses are perfect. A taller pumpkin would leave guests trying to see around it when looking across the table.
The pumpkin looks beautiful. Another easy craft you can do is to just draw your house number on a pumpkin then get the gold or silver thumb tacks and push them in. You don’t even empty the pumpkin so they last longer. Put it at your front door and your done. I always get compliments on mine.
Nicolas, thank you for another heart-warming, soothing, and enjoyable video. I like the continuation of your autumn theme, along with your excellent choice of music. You are so genuine and authentic with everything you do. You encourage others to work outside their comfort zones. You are adventurous with trying new things and taking risks in front of your audience. You are a "gift" to others. All the best from New York, Robert.
Nicolas, thank you for this elegant yet relaxed time with you. One tip if you don't like touching the flour and butter with your hands: Crisscross 2 butter knives and put them into the flour and butter. Pull them apart repeatedly until the butter is in small pieces and mixed well with the flour. In baking terms they call it cutting butter into flour.
I have a quiet deliberate mind that gets cluttered and rushed by the more chaotic fast paced ones around me. Your videos make me feel like myself again.
Your content is so calming, and a balm in the sometimes all-consuming negativity of the online world. Your channel gives me hope for a return to normalcy and decency. Thank you.
Beautiful autumnal centerpiece; it really complements your table-scape perfectly. Maybe using a small plastic take-out container instead of the foil lining might work better ... just a thought.
Never have I seen a pumpkin used in this way, how beautiful it looked on the table 😍 Cheese scones...yes please! Have a wonderful new week darlin. Lots of love from Las Vegas✨✨✨✨
I love your table, so elegant and festive. I enjoy doing the traditional proper decor in my younger years. I taught my daughter, she also at age of 8 attended a tea at the local bed and breakfast and they taught them about setting a table and making afternoon tea. She is now grown up and enjoy these things. It was lovely! I so enjoy your show! Thank you for sharing.
The pumpkin vase turned out beautiful. I’m certainly going to try this. Turning ingredients into breadcrumbs is my worst nightmare, I start off well and then it never happens probably because I need to stop and enjoy the moment but crikey it takes so long. Thank you for another peaceful, enjoyable, inspirational video x
Hi Nicholas, wishing you well. Loved the idea of a pumpkin 🎃 vase. Makes a good centre piece. I love the colour of the inside of the 🎃 beautiful orange. I love Scones especially when there homemade. We have Scones for breakfast. I love the Calmness you bring in the video. Take care.
Oh Nicholas!! The scones look perfect! The pumpkin vase, who knew!! The flowers were a colorfully matching addition!! Well, as always lovely spending this time with u!!💕💕🦋🦋💕💕
I was quite content until I saw your scones!! Now, I'll never be happy until I make them. I'm going to serve them with my delicious shrimp and grips next weekend , as I am having guests. Also, your table is a thing of beauty! Love the roses in the pumpkin. My favorite item you have is the nesting hen on your kitchen counter. Too, too cute! Thank you for the fun video. Barbara Brunson
You are such a good host! Beautiful and cozy video. The scones and soup look good. Love the pumpkin arrangement, never thought of that! Thanks and have a lovely week!
hello , aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh , a cozy day share with you , just what is needed🥰🥰🥰🥰the table setting and scones look delicious..........great share , thank you , for sharing and please keep 'em coming😉😉😉😊😊😊....
Flower pumpkin is fantastic idea for the autumn decoration! It is not a new one ( as they say in their comments), but the way you give life to the fall in your house takes me back to England - the country I love dearly; everything you do in this video is really heart warming! Thank you so much! Hope this idea will bring something English to my house in Belarus... Have a good week, my friend!
My neighbour who is training to be a florist, made me a display of flowers inside a pumpkin, it is beautiful, if I knew how to send a photo I would. Lovely vlog and I loved your pumpkin display xx
Soy mexicana pero amo los scones! esta receta me encantó, muy sencilla. Gracias 🙂 y por supuesto la calabaza con esas rosas amarillas hicieron que tu mesa luciera espectácular.
Nicolas love xx you gave me the joy to see this pumpkin flower centerpieces. Excellent thanks for letting me know. Also l loved your cooking. I love your hair and how you reacted when you were doing the scones with cheese delicious. Love your serving silver platter when eating . Nicely done Nicolas. Well done Nicolas love xx. Take care.🍮🍮🍮🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐
Thank You Nicolas!! This is a pretty terrific idea but I think you should have cooked this pumpkin and made the soup recipe on your website. This pumpkin with its deep red-orange flesh is great for soups. We eat this variety here in NYC [and North East US] in the Fall and Winter months. This variety is also great roasted in the oven with cinnamon , nutmeg and honey and toast the seeds as well. FYI: if the pumpkin is labeled as "organic", its' highly likely it can be eaten. There are pumpkins that cannot be eaten so easily that this design idea can used for. Cheers and Hugs from NYC!!!
An amazing video Nocolas. Loved it and so varied, delicious cheese scones that I haveen wanting to make for ages. Then a beautiful book. You keep us enchanted every week with your invitation for us to join you in your home and neighborhood. The pumpkin is so sweet.
For a person who says he prefers summer, you sure know how to enjoy Autumn! Autumn is my favorite season. Your centerpiece was beautiful and the scones sound delicious! I'm wondering what the soup was because it looked delicious too.
I could live in a forever autumn tbh. The weather, the festivities, the decor, food, clothing, etc. It’s a time for slowing down which I appreciate immensely!
Lovely vlog Nicolas! Your pumpkin centrepiece turned out well and looked so pretty on your dining table. Soup and cheesy herb scones-delicious! Thanks for a relaxing visit on a beautiful fall day🙏🏻❤️
Greetings Nicolas! Your video was awesome, waiting for me to watch when I got back from Church. This morning was a little something different for my wife's Sunday School class. For an example of answered Prayer, she took in "Dude" our kitten, who was returned to us by awesome golfers from the local Golf Course last month. Dude had stowed away under my Brother In Law's car, and went missing for a day and a half. The children were thrilled by the rescue story. Love your Channel! A 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing that great comment. It is wonderful to hear that people are praying and teaching Sunday School classes. You and your wife bring hope to our world. God bless you both. Robert
Hi Nicolas thanks for sharing this delightful video. Such a beautiful floral display & delicious looking cheese scones - they are a favourite of mine though I never thought to have them with soup before, I will now! I enjoy your calm voice & unhurried manner. Take care x
I’ve used pumpkins for vases for a long time. I found depending in the size of the pumpkin I put a glass vase inside the pumpkin. It works really well. It protects the pumpkin from becoming mushy and protects the flowers from becoming contaminated. Great vlog xxx
Here in Quebec City the weather was amazing 20 degrees……had a long walk in the beautiful fall color’s….so relaxing….this video is the cherry on the top….thanks Nicolas …..xoxo
Wow Nicolas, I love your courage in always trying something new, the pumpkin vase came out beautifully! I love the shade of roses you chose, perfect for autumn, a colour that makes one think of deep friendship and joy. The cheese scones with soup was a brilliant idea, you set the table so well for yourself, I'm inspired. Thank you too for taking us to that beautiful book store, I'm happy that there are people who enjoy going through a physical book as much as I do, it was so enchanting to peruse through it with you
All the way from the Northwest Territories Canada thank you. Your vlogs calm me, so peaceful, totally amazed with your topics. Never feel alone you have us waiting for your next vlog..
Nicolas---another informative program on how to live simply but elegantly. The success of your channel is not only your calm, engaging personality, but the originality of the idea for the program,. You've got no competition. Keep up the good work. Regards from the States.
oh what a lovely pumpkin! in the US especially NE, they are everywhere at this time of year in any size and color. make sure to put something under it if set on a table.
Thank you for this lovely vlog - your flower arrangement, and Autumn centre piece for your dining table, are beautiful as always. Your cheese scones look soooo delicious, and your soup devine! Happy Autumn day, from Devon, England. Warm loving hugs coming your way. xxx
I really enjoy your channel. You offer a nice variety of topics. The cooking segments are great, as you offer recipes I don't normally see elsewhere. Since you don't like to blend butter and flour mixtures by hand, have you ever tried using a pastry blender? It is also called a butter cutter or dough blender. Just a thought, as I don't like blending dough either!!
Here is another way to do the natural pumpkin vase…I hollow it out like you did, then make the opening large enough to hold a small leftovers plastic bowl, that way the water doesn’t rot out the pumpkin as fast… Another type pumpkin arrangement I like to make is from succulents. For this I use a plastic planting pot that slips in the pumpkin all the way. Fill the pot with cactus soil and add a multitude of succulents…including ones that cascade down the pumpkin. When done with arrangement, you still have live succulents to use in other ways…
One of your best videos! Simply loved it. Especially your verbal reaction to the butter. The arrangement was fab! The food made me ravenous. Have a great week.
Nicolas the idea of using a pumpkin as base for flowers arrangement is so different and artistic thank you I enjoy it a lot. Going to use it for my table center and baking the cheese scones the cherry on top. Again thank you.
I was having an emotional day today and then I saw this video. ..... you made me feel so calm with your beautiful soft voice. Your table looked amazing. Love watching you cook also....you could have your own cooking show. Love and blessings Nicolas🌹♥️
Nicolas, thank you for another great vlog! The pumpkin "vase" turned out great and looked beautiful on your dining table! Your reaction to mixing up the scones made me smile, and the Paris book has been added to my list of books to purchase! Thank you for sharing your day of good things with your followers!
Ooh I'm starving, those scones look simply delicious, I will definitely try them, thankyou, what a good idea of yours, you're always so creative it's amazing. And the soup looked scrumptious too, I agree, nothing better than home made soup with bread or cheese scones now! And your decor is stunning as always, you never disappoint. I love your kindness xx
A friend recently told me that he melts the butter rather than blending it manually. I have not tried that myself, but I can attest that his scones are first class. Thank you for the video! Have a fabulous week.
Happy Sunday! 🌻🍁🎃my favorite time of year! I can’t wait to make the scones. 🎃I used to make the flower inserts with flowers in little pumpkins and give as gifts. Happy day!
This is so nice. I don’t think you know how calming you are. In this world of going fast, you bring a lovely calm.
I agree an oasis of calmness in a speedy world 👌🏻
I agree! 😘
❤
Absolutely. And he is so adorable and sweet.

Lisa, I was thinking the same thing as I watched him place his hands into the bowl.
Great idea!
A pastry blender is a great idea. Another wonderful video Nicolas - your Rose display in the pumpkin turned out really beautifully.
I always look forward to your videos so thankyou for indulging us 😘🌹🥂xx
For those that dislike messy fingers, a pair of gloves can be used. Then Bin them when finished.
A pastry cutter and a Danish dough hook for the more wet parts!
I make that type of arrangement every year to give to neighbors. I save tin cans during the year and put that in the center to hold water.

You are incredibly soothing - a treasure in a noisy chaotic world

thank you for the helpful tips! ❤
Thanks for the tip. I suppose it would apply to any woody type stems. Hydrangeas?
Great rose trimming tip
A little appreciation comment. Thank you Nicolas. I watch these videos while i fill my agenda on monday mornings.
LOVE the calming voice and sweet ideas to make a home, to pay attention to detail, to make one's life special by DOING little things, not just buying stuff.
You´re wonderful
I love your "ew" when scooping the pumpkin innards. The arrangement is beautiful. And....NICE SWEATER!
You can use a hand mixer inside the pumpkin to get the insides out in a jiffy! Quick and so easy!
I think the short pumpkin and the very fall colors of the roses are perfect. A taller pumpkin would leave guests trying to see around it when looking across the table.
Your program is my calming happy time, please don't change, 😍

I just love how you made the sounds while mixing. I love your personality 🤗😀
Thank you for the beautiful video.Loved the pumkin flower arrangemet.I could watch and listen to your videos for hours.
@@teresareinhardt497 Yes, me too.
It's therapeutic ☺️
This is a wonderful idea I’ve done it many times , and yes inserting a vase or container in the center helps so much better ❤️
I was thinking the same. That would be easier.
Same

Your voice is so calming. My father just passed away last Wed and in the midst of trying to handle his affairs I'm watching you to keep me calm.
Beautiful autumnal centerpiece; it really complements your table-scape perfectly. Maybe using a small plastic take-out container instead of the foil lining might work better ... just a thought.
Trial and/or error 😉👍🇺🇸🎃 Plus you can bake pumpkin seeds w/favorite seasoning !! TFS 🍂🍁
Yes! Came to the comments to say just that. Pumpkin seeds are full of protein and make a healthy snack.
Beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red.
I love the idea of a pumpkin as a vase!
Never have I seen a pumpkin used in this way, how beautiful it looked on the table 😍 Cheese scones...yes please! Have a wonderful new week darlin. Lots of love from Las Vegas✨✨✨✨
Nice to see the warm bit of colour from the arrangement complimenting the soft glow of the lampshades . Lifts the spirits .😁

You can rinse the seeds then bake them with butter and salt on a sheet pan. Delicious as a snack or add some crunch to a salad.😊
Nicolas the idea of using a pumpkin as base for flowers arrangement is so different and artistic thank you I enjoy it a lot. Going to use it for my table center and baking the cheese scones the cherry on top. Again thank you.
Lovely arrangement in the pumpkin vase. Thanks for the inspection.
Flower arrangement looks good the cheese scones reminded me of my grandmother enjoy
Always calming and brilliant...your elegance is captivating!
Love these fall videos! What pumpkin treat would you have with tea?
I was having an emotional day today and then I saw this video. ..... you made me feel so calm with your beautiful soft voice. Your table looked amazing. Love watching you cook also....you could have your own cooking show. Love and blessings Nicolas🌹♥️
So festive yet elegant! Thank you darling for going the extra mile!
Timeless Paris is a GORGEOUS book! A friend gave it to me last year for Christmas and I’m still looking at it.
Nicolas, thank you for another great vlog! The pumpkin "vase" turned out great and looked beautiful on your dining table!
