“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

Freezing Herbs

Fresh herbs add wonderful flavours to cooking but aren't always available all year round. A good way to store herbs while they are at their best, is to freeze them in olive oil or butter. This method works particularly well for harder herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, fennel stalks, and oregano. Use clean dry herbs. Chop or tear to size used in cooking. Put in ice cube containers singly, or mixed, to about two thirds full. Cover with olive oil or melted butter and freeze. When frozen, empty into plastic bags, label and store in the deep freeze. Use for cooking onions, garlic etc, for the base of recipes, for browning meats, adding to stuffing, putting in soups, or whatever takes your fancy! Enjoy.
