Aloha Friday!!
It’s now mid October, Fall is in full swing for many people and I am over here in Hawaii getting ready for maybe….just maybe a hurricane. If we are lucky it will fall apart and just be some rain. Oddly, Hawaii does not have a hurricane in 22 years…I move here and this is #2 that has formed since we moved here in mid July. I tell you, epic weather follows me wherever I move,lol!!
If anyone is wondering the Island is practically sold out of bottled water…this happened last time too, then there was illegal price gouging and it was a circus. We ended up having to pay stupid high prices for some bottled water. Life goes on!
Right now it is beautiful and sunny…Fall must have arrived here too as the temps have calmed down a few degrees, so while it is still hot it feels cooler, got to love those trade winds.
Are you doing any special Halloween baking this year? I am on the fence about this currently for this year, for personal reasons. We shall see what happens, maybe I will concoct a little spooky something!
Tis the season for pumpkin and these delicious muffins will not disappoint. They have pumpkin and chocolate! Cinnamon & ginger help bring the smells and tastes of the season together to round out this most perfect treat. Yummy!
