Do you feel you spend too much on buying lunch at work?
Is time or lack of inspiration (or both) the problem?
One interactive weekend class covering a variety of easy, yummy, nutritious recipes could change that for you!
GF / DF / Vegan / Vegetarian / LCHF ? No problem, there will be heaps of ideas to tailor to your requirements.
A new one-off class is being offered by Papanui High School's buzzing Adult Community Education Programme, where an easy Sunday morning of fun cooking will load you up with whanau-friendly recipes and ideas. Plus, you take home all what you cook during the class as well.
The recipes I will be sharing will reflect a crossover between my Indian roots and my Kiwi lifestyle. Delicious flavour combinations that will pack a punch and make each working meal a happy meal :)
When - Sunday 28 February, 10am to 12:30pm
Where - Papanui High School's spacious, well-equipped kitchen classrooms
Course fee - $76 (excluding cost of ingredients)

Re: replies to Vernon & myself, I like your normally considered remarks and will continue to read, but there are times when even the best of us inadvertently shoot ourselves in the walking things. Though merely having what I hope is a 'commonsense education' I deemed it only fair to be of help when even "scientific education" can slip a little .. as is well known. Maybe a reread of the "Covid Updates" post (from the bottom up) could help perspective a little. Not being a jibe at our leader at all (probably misrepresented incorrectly by advisors) .. again ? .. hmmm. Now just to clear up my initial comment which you seem to take abeyance with, it was not (though possibly could/should?. have been,non ?) a personal attack, merely an old joke that began being used on car salesmen .. (oops, and women), realtors, insurance salespeople, lawyers, etc. Oops again … AND politicians,of course .. no matter their ilk, haha ! Please don't take this as an apology mate, just .. ah .. commonsense, and in case you didn't know the answer :-- "their lips move " .. cheers …. but remember, " I may not agree, but I will defend ……. etc,etc

Airport boss Malcolm Johns said it was not a financial issue, but it was unnecessary as almost all international travellers were arriving via Auckland. The bigger risk in Christchurch was at managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities.
Do you think saliva testing should be offered to Christchurch border staff?

After having just been made redundant and whilst looking for new employment I thought it would be a good idea to keep myself busy by offering my services doing admin from home. If you or someone you know has a small business and your free time is spent doing your books instead of relaxing or spending time with your family, please message me and we can chat about your needs for outsourcing the admin/finance side of your business. My long term goal is to build up a portfolio of clients big enough to work from home full time. I bring with me 26 years of financial administration experience and an excellent skill set.
