My Favourite Things . . .

 

 

 

These are a few of my favourite things.  Maybe some of them are yours also!  A few of the things which catch my eye, inspire me, pluck at my heart strings, make me smile, or that I just enjoy. I hope that they will do the same for you.  

 

 

  

Vintage Recipes and Recipe Booklets.  I have quite a few of them that I have saved through the years.  There is a lot of tastiness there.  I don't always like to follow trends, and I don't think that just because something is old it no longer has any value. Vintage recipes booklets are filled with lots of memories and some wonderful gems.

Stroopwafels, and until you have used one as a lid for your hot drink you haven't really lived. 

A - Maze - Ing! To say the least. 

 

Lime Jello. I know it is filled with artificial colours and flavours, but it is something I have always loved.  We can't get it over here.  I wish we could.  

  

Petit Fours.  Little baby cakes, bite sized, beautifully decorated.   Each one a delight. 

 

Classic novels.  Jane Eyre.  Pride and Prejudice.  Little Women. Anne of Green Gables. I could go on, but I am sure you know what I mean. These books never get old.  

  

Clocks and the tick-tocking.  Its a comforting sound. So happy I know how to tell time the old-fashioned way.  Are children still taught this?

Nothing new in the kitchen today. Our dishwasher broke yesterday, AGAIN, and its the new one!  I had to take everything out and wash it by hand, and then we sorted the kitchen cupboads out  yet again.  But here is something tasty and from my archives.  Classic Beef Chili.  

Have a wonderful Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving to my American family and friends!  No matter what you get up to, stay safe, be happy and don't forget!
