And those are my Friday Finds for this week. I hope there was something of interest for you!

Terrible storms and flooding in Ottawa yesterday and the fires in BC and Maui, so sad. What dangerous and uncertain times we are living in. My heart and prayers go out to all who are affected by these events. 

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today, Chicken Tikka Alfredo.  Its a curry, but not as  you know it.  Small batch as well. This was really delicious and not that complicated to make. Simple really.

I hope that you have a fabulous Friday!  Be happy and don't forget!

  2. Lots of nice ideas...the link for the tutorial for the markers however is not working. The quiche looks so yummy...wish I could still eat cheese!! It is pure shocking about Maui...in fact, it is unbelievable that 4 fires occured about the same time and destroyed Lahaina. We used to live in Hawaii when Hubby was in Navy, and we went to Maui once...and yes took photos under that historic banyon tree in Lahaina. I was shocked at how dry it looked on the island...it was always green everywhere we went those 3 years we lived in Hawaii.

    1. Thanks Elizabeth! I have sorted the link now I think. I think we can blame global warming for all of this chaos in our climates with the fires and floods, etc. How lovely that you got to live in Hawaii, it must be twice as sad for you to see this happening! xoxo
