Some fun for your Friday!

This recipe is super quick and easy. Make sure you use fresh pasta, not dried.

When you were a kid you marvelled at everything. You were curious and asked why a thousand times a day. By the time you become a teenager, you've lost some of that child-like wonder. It's something that we should nurture all our lives. Even when you're in high school or in the middle of a global pandemic, you can take time to encourage that awe and wonder. I was just sitting in the sun, watching a bird look at his reflection in the side mirror of a car. Take a minute to get outside, if you can, and see what you can find. Rumage through your bookshelf and find a book. Scroll through Netflix and find a  documentary. Find something to stimulate your curiosity and wonder.

I have been trying to cut down on the amount of waste I generate. Even though I love wrapping paper, it is expensive and bad for the environment. Here are some alternatives that either reuse items around the house or are reusable. I have a box of recycled ribbons and string to decorate parcels.
