I've been putting old recipes from my posts long ago onto The English Kitchen. The photography is not the best, but the recipes are all valid and delicious.  For the first of those posts, click here.  Ten favorites such as Cauliflower Cheese Pie, Caramel Squares, Rarebit Risotto, etc.  

I hope you have a wonderful Friday. Be happy. Be blessed. Be healthy. Be safe.  Don't forget!

  1. Commented yesterday but from my ipad and it sometimes doesn't go through. We are still wearing masks, numbers rising in Ontario, it hasn't gone away no matter what the provincial govt thinks. You must do what you think is the best for you. I made a granny stripe afghan, great way to use up the yarn. Happy Friday.

    1. I think that our Provincial Governments are dropping the mandates far too quickly Linda, but that's just mho. I would love to see your granny stripe afghan! Did you post it on your blog? xoxo

  4. So many clever ideas. The cute caps with cats would make lovely little tea cosies. It's Paula's birthday today, Marie. Last year it was warm and sunny and we were able to sit out on her deck. This year, not so much! Enjoy your day. I'm off to the English Kitchen to see what's cooking. Love and hugs, Elaine
