Bark in the Park from Kids in the City

26 Jan 2012 Leave a Comment

Reblogged from Dear Mr Dog/meneertje hond:

It's been a good few years since we started The Kids in The City Foundation to clean up our city streets and parks! We have been having a bit of a time out for the past few years, a bit of a relax, a stock take, a lie in - but now we are back. And we think this city could do with a right royal, wet dog sort of shake up!

Super Squishers – Delish Spring Smoothies made by 10 teams of year 3 kids
Oh, it’s a grand thing to do. Work with eager young minds who are keen to learn, try, taste and enjoy, which is why I look forward to doing workshops with kids, even if they take place in halls, rather than fancy master chef style kitchens and stretch me, mentally and physically. Yes, there is […]
High Tea, ANZAC Biscuits and Being Sweet….
All and all we needed some sort of motivational tool to make this dull rainy afternoon feel radiantly spring like. So, I decided to celebrate our late spring with a high tea to be served only after rooms had been cleaned, jobs had been done and various things accomplished. It certainly cheered me up immensely and proved to be an excellent "clean room […]
Velvet Smooth Soup to Ward Away the Easter Chill!
I was feeling, oh so slightly under the weather as snow blew along beside the train to Amsterdam. I was heading off to a meeting with the Chair of KEA (Kiwi Expatriates Abroad) in The Netherlands and the portents were not good. The wind chill factor was arctic in nature, the sky was heavy with […]
There and Back again with Added Flavours – a trip away broadens the food horizon!
Suffice it to say I was inspired by the food I tasted there, the people who shared their valuable knowledge and I will do my best to pass it on to as many people as I can. I am about to add a Bokashi compost to my 2 worm composters, so all our leftovers will be used up.
Our Bread and Butter – Buy Best, Waste Less!
We humans love bread, don’t we? What would we do without our daily bread? For many of us, it is the basis for every meal particularly here in The Netherlands. But elsewhere too: toast soldiers with golden eggs for breakfast, bagels with salmon and cream cheese for lunch, soup and garlic bread for dinner. Bread […]
The Best Banana Granola You Will Ever Eat + Waste Not – Want Not!
We know that we are the wasteful generation, a throw away society, a people removed from the field and the farm but did we know it was this bad? 30 to 50 % of food thrown into black plastic bin bags, 30% of produce never makes it to the market place and food […]
A Few More of My Very Favourite Things….. spread the joy (or the tapenade)!
One thing I have learned over the years is that often it is the simplest things that are best. Warm scones from the oven. Mushrooms on toast. Honey on greek yoghurt with homemade cranola warm from the oven. Boiled eggs with toast soldiers. A plate gleaming with gold such the japanese pottery above, on a dark warm wood table, waiting for soup on a cold winter […]
Frugal but Beautiful – Using up those wrinkly veggies…..
It’s the festive season and that means food, some good, a lot not, but whatever sort it is, it all costs money, your money! But you may be interested to know that we in the West are spending less and less of our income on food, which is mighty strange given the many failures of […]
Apricot Balls, Objects of Beauty & Desire and Simple As
There are some things I cannot resist. I guess we all have a our achilles heel and mine just happens to be dark, slightly sour dried apricots. I have to hide them in obscure places, in dark corners, behind less delicious foods. Trouble is I usually know where they are. My late mother loved making […]
Found a pot of carrots at the end of my rainbow
like to tell kids to eat a rainbow. That is the Aubergine part of the rainbow right through to the Zucchini green part. My feeling is that most kids are limited to a vegetable palate of mainly potatoes and peas, and sometimes not even those. I hear so many kids saying " I won't eat that and I won't try that!" Yet there has never been so m […]
