Today we decided to cook fettucinni (a first for participant), provider cut meat showing what to do, a thickener was made, onions were cut, water filled for fettuccine and oil added-to heat. Meat ingredients were cooked and mushrooms cut, cream was added and allowed to cook down with occasional stiring, we added some herbs and our thickener. Pasta was cooked (gluten free) and transferred to strainer. Sample tried was given 10/10. We will revisit this over next few weeks. Awesome effort! It was YUM!

Respite-enjoying Albury and all it has to offer. Some participants like short activities followed by down time, some like to be busy both in activities or socially. Focusing on social connections, clean and well presented, treating staff courteous, planning our choice of restaurant, choosing our meal, table etiquette, flowing conversation, thanking staff-social goals. Through the week we focus on cost verses cooking yourself to save for the special days where we can work on other skills. An awesome weekend!

Last week we made crumbed fish, home made chips and homemade salad (mainly from the garden). We calculated 1.80 per person compared to 30.00 per head eating out. Lots of work but showed that in that cost a prepared second meal is also available. 10/10 effort and final taste.

Budgeting learnt. 210 (30 each) for 7 people eating out. Our cost 17.81 so 2.04 each. 192.19 saved by eating in-lesson today.
We purchased Basa on sale (budgeting), then peeled, prepared, baked potatoe, pumpkin, carrots-Kat did the cutting and peas. Fish is a new recipe to learn-choice of steamed or crumbed. We discussed taste re reheating same-steamed was the choice. Learn wrapping, garlic and water in pan to steam. Timer set (new tool)-to begin cooking at 2.30. Dishes and ready to give family a night off. Feelings-happy to give family a night off by cooking. Awesome work finished by down time on computers and homemade soup for a cold day.

A beautiful weekend, roast pork Friday and inhouse movie. Beechworth Saturday for all our favourites and a very patient bookshop awaiting our return for sequels ordered. A lovely lunch at Nicholsons -a nice time to laugh, make memories while we wait for our food to cook. Lots of shops then home to spend money earnt by working (painting) on a computer for school (with a chip in by family) šŸ˜ then home to relax. Gold Class Sunday to watch Odyssey-10/10 and definately one to watch in the big screen. Thanks for a great weekend.

Last week we went to Arnoldā€™s and purchased our food to cook. We made spaghetti from scratch and managed to set aside enough for another meal-huge dollar saving. Step by step with prompts for recall-visual guides assist this by setting up cupboards so that participants know where to look to add ingredients. Hygeine with food preparations, planning, preparation and beautiful meals to take home to give family a night off. Awesome work!

This week we greeted familiar staff at Arnoldā€™s (great specials so lots of stocking up). We plan for meals to be made over the next few weeks, extras for the chickens (to give the vegetable garden a rest with all the rain) and homemade snacks -saving money (budgeting). Following this routine allows consistency, whereby we can decide if a produce is of good value or no deal! This week we prepared roast chicken with an assortment of beautiful vegetables to take home-contributing to family (self worth). Extra special cuddles for Miss Tilly-she is very loved. Vacancies available for anyone wishing to find this life skill support. A special thankyou to the staff at Arnoldā€™s who greet and ask what we are cooking-this always brings a smile to participants faces. To be recognised for who you are and your capabilities with support is truly a credit to all your staff.
