One of the benefits of teaching the PREP class of grade 4 students at Holy Cross in Burnaby is that it is a great self reminder on what's important. Lent is a time of giving things up, but it's also about giving to others (as in Almsgiving). We made a class list of the students and each student was to put on the list something they were giving up and something they were going to do that was nice for someone else. They were kind of shy about it.... so after the first one, I put my own two up. 1) I am giving up Facebook for 40 days. Much harder than one would think. Not because I'm addicted to it, but more because I use it to post updates on my 90 day Planking challenge. But giving it up means not just NOT checking on other's updates, but also not updating my own status on their. There is a work around, I can post to Instagram which cross posts to Facebook. Not really cheating because I'm not accessing FB. 2) I promised to make mini cheesecakes for the Arthur Murra
Favorite recipes that I've made up and that I have tried. Sources range from various website recipe posts, cookbooks, a few of them I've been inspired to create by watching the numerous cooking shows on the TV Food Channels but most of them just come from being creative and off the top of my head.
