Learn to make your own stock powder!
Who doesn't love a hearty broth?
In this hands-on workshop, we will show you how to make your own vegetable stock powder - one with only as much salt as you want, in parts using vegetables and herbs that might otherwise go to waste.
You'll learn about the ingredients and we go through the process step by step. We will begin the session with information on food dehydrators and vegetables that can be used, before we get hands-on to prepare and dehydrate some together.
Then we will make the powder (using vegetables I dehydrated beforehand). Before you leave with a small sample you'll have a chance to taste the glorious stock.
We will also talk about the many other options how to use this to flavour up any (bland) foods.
Wednesday April 10th, 5.30pm to 7.30pm, Sandringham Community Centre, 18 -20 Kitchener Road, Sandringham.
Participation costs: $25-35 self-assessed sliding

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Ridiculous Fuel Pricing!
I opted to drive down 5kms to Waitomo Epsom, where fuel prices are lower compared to anywhere in Mount Roskill. On a full fuel tank of about 40 liters, you'll save around $8.5 overall, and this is without any discounts at Waitomo. Mobile Epsom is still cheaper, and the savings would have been $12 or more.
This math of pump pricing is beyond me as the source/starting point of the tankers is more or less the same and the suburbs aren't that far away 🤔.
