How to prepare chestnuts?
Put them flat side down and cut them across (very important) with a sharp knife (if you don't they will explode). Then either
1) Roast them in the oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes or
2) Boil them in water for 20 minutes or
3) Roast them on the log burner (my personal choice) when it is NOT going at full steam for about 10 to 20 minutes (if too hot they will get burned) and turn them once.
Let them cool a bit, then shell and eat them.
They can also be used as stuffing for poultry or in various dishes with venison, or as a puree with apples or for a cake. On the internet there are plenty of recipes.
Pickup by meeting in the R.D.2 Kaiapoi area. But usually some drop off appointment within reasonable distance of Christchurch/Kaiapoi/Rangiora can be arranged. Please contact me for details.
GST invoice available, please indicate when emailing or texting.

Did anyone hear the siren going off in North Beach last night alerting people to evacuate. It went on for over one hour before it was turned off.
It was in the Beach Road area.

I had a call this morning, a recorded voice saying my spark internet will be disconnected. It then said to push 1,2 or more for further information. As i am not with spark I hung up.
What I would suggest is that if you get a call like this HANG UP.
If spark is your provider call them and ask them … View moreI had a call this morning, a recorded voice saying my spark internet will be disconnected. It then said to push 1,2 or more for further information. As i am not with spark I hung up.
What I would suggest is that if you get a call like this HANG UP.
If spark is your provider call them and ask them if this is correct.
If it isn't then report the call with as much detail as you can remember.
Hopefully this post may stop someone getting scammed.
Interesting commentary on the original post - but, just noticed comments were turned off before we got a chance to get to the crux of the matter. Which is: "Why our brains are hard-wired to ignore climate change". The video is just 7 mins long and well worth the watching.

Apparently Council cannot tell truckies what roads they cannot use and cannot put No Heavy truck signs up to stop this. We live on Breezes Road Avondale and there has been a steady influx of trucks past our house over the last few months. Our house rattles and everything in cupboards etc shake , rattle, and roll. Our doors in our house are starting to stick which means they are damaging the house. All i have had from Council is oh we will send someone out to check vibrations. It is because he roads have not been fixed adequately and it seems Council dosnt care. In the Community profile for the Avondale/Dallington area dated Nov 2014 it states The focus is repair of the fresh water and storm water systems and roads. That is four years ago and nothing has been done. We pay our rates but have no promised work done and it seems Council have no clout to stop these trucks. So i ask what is the answer??
Hey neighbours,
Did you know the Kiwis born today will live to see New Zealand's great glaciers shrink into extinction? Have you visited Franz Josef? What did you think? To see the incredible impact climate change is having on our glaciers, click here.
