Meals for quick food on a budget to feed  a Family of 4.  Shopping tips and products you  need to make the meals Taco Kit: when you cook the mince chicken or beef, put the two satchels in the meat the powered spice, water and the salsa this give a great more authentic flavour. I like the Aldi Taco kit the best is better value you get 15 tacos and the sauce is milder for kids. El Toro Taco kit from Aldi is the best value, you get 15 tacos in the kit and the flavour is mild with is great for kids. It costs $4.00.au Stirfry various kinds : chicken mince with thin white noodles,  bean noodle vermicelli  in Asian section from Coles or Woolies.

Brilliant, Finland is Brilliant Teach by Topic not subject!!!! No more you are going to Maths then science then English.  This is relevant to mathematics.  I remember high school maths. Sin Cos and Tan Triangles, I was like whats the point,  If it was applied to the study of Ancient Egypt and measuring of the size of the pyramids, so now you have Geography, ancient history and maths, Add in something about the curse of the pharaohs, curse believed to be cast on any person who disturbs the mummy of an Ancient Egyptian person, especially a pharaoh. King Tuts grave- and you add in science with the study of bacteria or spores that allegedly killed the grave diggers. How interesting would the class be! I would want to go back to high school. Or you could study the 9/11 twin towers disaster in NY. How could an engineer design a building to withstand the hit of an aeroplane, without the whole thing collapsing. So here we have modern history, maths, science, art and into to engineerin

Stephanie Gilmore drops in a SUP Stand up Paddle boarder Feb 2015 Snapper Rocks Gold Coast Australia Cyclone Swells and fun to be had at my home Snapper Rock Gold Coast QLD. Swell on the surf report was 4-6 ft. Water is warm and no wetsuit required. Only a wet shirt for sun protection. Definitely white for summer as the sun here on the Gold Coast is so strong. Any other colour and you will be too hot. Black for winter.  This is the first time I went to take photos of surfing, with my new toy a Nikon. As I'm short sighted I couldn't tell which girl surfer I had taken photos of. Wow I was surprised when I got home and realized it was Stephanie Gilmore the 6 x world champion womens's surfer.  Let me give you the run down of these pics. It was a big day. I surfed on the high tide where the waves are easy to take off and more forgiving. Then as lunchtime approached and low tide. I thought perfect I'll head to Snapper Rocks. It always amazes me how people can be in s
