Thanks to Vic and Helen for their 50th Anniversary!
Golden Weddings -
how the time has flown - the
photo board tells it all!
A carving set, a
family heirloom
shiny as if new.
The wooden handle
poised, used in turn
by young & old.
Fruit plus Madeira cakes
sliced and shared by
folks all wished
the best as functions
come & go.
If cakes & bread
where the only thing
cut by knives how
happy we would
be! But proposed
motorways may slice
our landscape
and tear our
neighbourhood
in three!
Where will the children
play at school while
trucks pollute the air?
How can our friends
move when money
is so scarce? Consider
us, John Key, the families
who've stayed here long
enough to celebrate their
golden years and make
this community -
truly theirs!
Crockpot Chicken
Crockpots feed families and are great
for those who arrive home tired and can't think what to cook.
Take 3 or 4 carrots and slice them
chunky.
Slice 1 or 2 onions and a stick of
celery and include some crushed garlic.
Put these in the crockpot with a tin of
tomatoes,
2 teaspoons of Panch Puran (Bengali 5
spice mixture of cumin, fennel, fenugreek, brown mustard, and nigella
(kalonji) in equal amounts) Don't panic if you don't have these
spices!
1 teaspoon of tumeric
and half a teaspoon of chilli flakes or
a whole green chilli.
Add a whole chicken or as many legs or
thighs of chicken you can accommodate in your crockpot.
Cook on low for 6 hours or more.
Thicken the juice if required. Serve with vegetables and rice or
potatoes.
