Today for tea time: None other that Humboldt gadabout Barry Evans — writer, engineer, science enthusiast and Xtreme Brit. Barry has a new book out, and he’s eager to tea down for promotional purposes. 

That book is the sequel to the popular Humbook, and it’s called Humbook 2! It’s chock-full of all sorts of weird bite-sized stories about Humboldt history, geography, biology and more, and it is a nice thing to have around to awe out-of-towners with.

The Outpost’s John Kennedy O’Connor drags all sorts of stuff out of Barry, including how he got into the business of scribbling, and a retelling of the time he almost burned down the King Range.

Thai tea today. Spoiler: Barry likes it, O’Connor does not.

You knew this was coming, and here it is: Today’s tea time snack is Crustless Cucumber Sandwiches. Once you assemble that sucker and get every bit of crust removed, press play on the video above and join us! Then come back tomorrow morning for Barry’s regular Sunday Outpost column!
