Baked Chicken with Feta and Tomatoes
Serves 24

INGREDIENTS:

2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp dried thyme
2 tbsp cayenne pepper
2 cups flour
40 pieces skinless chicken thighs
3/4 cup butter
6 cups copped onion
16 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1.75L milk

PREPARATION:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2) Combine flour (1 cup), paprika, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.

4) Once all chicken is cooked, add remaining butter to pan along with the onion and garlic and cook until they are soft.

5) Add 1 cup of the reserved flour mixture to the onions and cook until bubble and lightly browned. Slowly whisk in milk and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add the tomatoes and season to taste.

I checked my mail and I was so excited when I received the L'Oreal Superior Preference Infinia Hair Color Voxbox from Influenster.


I received the color in "deep black". Because my natural hair color is black, there isn't a drastic color change, but it did make my hair color bolder. This shade is designed for dark and black shades. The dyes in a conditioning base keep the black more luminous so it never looks dull and always revived. The product was perfect to cover my grays.


How to use (directions):
Step 1 - Colour! Apply your haircolor.
Step 2 - Rinse! Apply conditioner and rinse.
Step 3 - Revive! On the 2nd and 4th week, after shampooing, apply your colour refresher. Leave it in for five minutes, then rinse. Watch your colour revive in an instant! There's no need to use the conditioner, as the color refresher also has conditioning properties.

Superheroes are pretty much ruling the box-office numbers right now. But what is it about this particular movie genre that gets audiences so excited? You guessed it – the fight scenes. Over the last few years we’ve seen some pretty epic superhero fights with incredible visual effects and on-point choreography.

And with the ultimate battle between Batman and Superman hitting movie theatres, we thought we’d take a look at some of the best of the best Superhero movies to see which fights deserve a place on our list of the greatest fight scenes EVER (also we just really wanted to watch some of these movies again…)

Disney’s THE JUNGLE BOOK is in theatres April 15 in 3D, RealD 3D AND IMAX 3D!

This was day 2 of our stay in LA and DAY 1 out of 3 of our Disneyland Adventures during our one week Spring Break vacation in Los Angeles, California. We had already purchased our 3-day passes online ahead of time. As a majority of people would say that 3-days would be enough: 1 full day at California Adventure and 2 full days at Disneyland Park. Because there's so much to see at one park, we didn't need to spend extra for the park-hopper add-on.

If you go to California Adventure Park, here's our tip (especially for the Cars fans): go early in the morning to get the Fast Pass for the Radiator Springs Racers ride because later in the day, there will be a very long line up close to 2 hours wait time. It's the most popular attraction I find. Once you get the Fast Pass, save it and go straight to the ride as the line up is shorter early morning. And then you'll be able to go on it the 2nd time using the Fast Pass.

This was our first experience for the Radiator Springs Racers Ride. The last time we've been to Disneyland, Cars Land wasn't even opened yet. We loved the ride so much we wanted to go on it again.


Other areas of the theme park include Bug's Land, Hollywood Land, Pacific Wharf, Paradise Pier, and Grizzly Peak. Cars Land was definitely our favorite part. We had photo ops with the characters. We were lucky to catch Lightning McQueen right after the photo op with Red and Mater in a short period of time near the same location.

What is blow painting? It is a painting technique where the artist blows colourful paint across the paper using straws rather than using a paintbrush. It creates creative abstract art. Here are some of the artwork from participants and myself in one of the Community Arts workshops at Kiwassa Neighbourhood House.





Participants also did a pointillism painting in the 2nd half of the session. What is pointillism? It's a technique of painting in which tiny dots of color are used and applied in patterns to form an image. We also learned to incorporate pointillism technique with mandala art. "Mandala" is a complex abstract design that is usually in a circular form. The word is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit, meaning "circle". Mandalas can contain both geometric and organic forms.
