I heart my hood

The Team from Neighbours Aotearoa

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.

1 – I Heart the History of My Hood

Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.

2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood

New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.

3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood

With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

To enter go to our website and ‘share your story’

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

Lines on your Chillies a concern?

Geoff from Ajis Chillies

Do you have these lines on your chillies (especially Jalapeno) and thought you had to toss them? Don't. This is known as "Corking" and is not a problem. Basically it is just the inside growing quicker than the outside. Sounds odd, but true. In South America these chillies fetch more … View moreDo you have these lines on your chillies (especially Jalapeno) and thought you had to toss them? Don't. This is known as "Corking" and is not a problem. Basically it is just the inside growing quicker than the outside. Sounds odd, but true. In South America these chillies fetch more at markets because of the belief that they are hotter and tastier, although there is no proof of this. The message here is if you have this happening with your chillies, don't throw them out.....they are fine. Enjoy.
