As a trained and experienced cook, this is not a mystery to me, but I know that a lot of people want to know what flavours to put with what.  I found this handy chart which matches herbs and spices to what works well with each.  I found this use chart on Adventures in Spices. Flavour combinations need never be a mystery again!

Slighty off topic, but this just begged me to ask the question why????  From Living Out Loud.   Well, I guess it got a link on my page, so that's a start, lol.

I adore these DIY sofa cushion covers.  What a brilliant idea.   I keep a throw on the seat of our sofa constantly because Mitzie likes to sit on there with us, but covers like this that I could just take off and wash would be a great idea and so colourful!  Found on  Brit Co.   These are jumbo floor pillows.  I am just thinking that they would make great sofa seat pillow covers.

Funny Face Bookmarks for Back to School.   These are so cute and simple to make.  The kids will love to help as well.  Would make a great Sunday School project also I think, r for a children's activity.   Found on Dollar Store Crafts.   I think they are really cute!!

Isn't she adorable?   This is a German tradition that I just love.  Back to school cones.   You fill them up with goodies for the kids and it helps to make the first day back to school even better and awesome than it is already!  Complete tutorial on The Etsy Blog.  Such fun!

And that's my Friday Finds for this week.  I hope you enjoyed discovering some new things as much as I did showing them to you!

A thought to carry with you through the day . . .

Cooking in The English Kitchen today  . . .  Pasta with a Marinated Cherry Tomato Sauce.  This was sooooooo delicious, simple, quick and used some of the tomato glut from the garden in a very tasty way!

  1. Marie the going back to school cone is such a neat idea. Some kids have it great.

    If i had a young one in my life I would be making that stool in an instant. So cute.

    Now if one trained cook to make a super sonic flight to Australia I would ask her to help me cook dinner.

    Enjoy your day. God bless.

  7. I really like that first chart on the spices. Nice reference to have handy. Sometimes I like to try something different and never quite know what to use. Seems to often I just cook the same things over and over. They are tried and true. Hope you have a fantastic Friday. We have a beautiful morning here.
