614 posts, 23 members
Hi ladies! I hope you are all keeping well :-) What's everyone doing this weekend? I know we are still not allowed to leave the house so what are you doing to keep yourself occupied? I'm going to sort out our vege garden and get the yard tidied up. I also want to make custard squares and maybe a lemon meringue pie lol obviously a nice long walk is on the cards after that :-)
I think i might con the man into going for a walk with the small one, we usually go to the park and feed the ducks which is fun!
Tonight im making McDonalds, which will be ... interesting haha i have frozen the coke for blitzing, and i have an assortment of things for homemade mcflurries so.. i hope it works out haha! Either way itll all be good but yknow

I can give or take most Mayo but kewpie is one of my fave things ever. It's kinda rich and creamy and tastes good on literally everything, but my fave is to have it on hot crunchy food like fried chicken, chips etc. I get mine in New World or Japan Mart, but I get the half calorie one which tastes the same but you can get away with extra hehhe.
I slept in and just finished showering after a 11km walk. I'm gonna do a few chores then make chicken meatballs to go with spaghetti for dinner

Ok so it's nearly 3pm and I still haven't started marking lol. I've just put some frozen cookie dough in the oven to bribe/reward myselfwith so I better get started lol. I also need to get a walk in before it starts getting cold.
I have my weekly kitchen rave tomorrow morning with my friend in the UK. It usually starts 7:30am here so I am actually trying to go to bed earlier on Saturday nights.

My mouth is watering just reading all of your posts lol.
I've found what I think is very close to the 'Big Mac' sauce and I'm obsessed with it. It's called Wattie's Burger Sauce and it is the bombage, like seriously. Hubby said its not 100% but its pretty close. I had a bottle of it at work before lockdown and when I went in last week, I was going to grab it and the cleaners had left the fridge open so I had to throw it out. Was not impressed, so they will be getting an ear bashing from me when I go back to work thats for sure.
This Kewpie mayonnaise sounds nice though, might have to hunt it down once we're able to, unless you can buy it online somewhere?

Just the usual weekend for me of live DJ sets, marking (ugh, it's never ending), waiting for food deliveries....plus the excitement of going out to click and collect from the supermarket. Why are people still lining up to do their own grocery shopping? Really easy to get a click and collect spot here now.
I'm on lockdown day FIFTY today and I got to the beach. Three beaches. I nearly cried with joy, I'm a major beach person and the ocean calms me, centred me and refreshes me. Not beach walking has been one of the hardest things for me lately. So I have done an hour of beach walking, and I just came home for a very fancy lunch of peanut butter toast and now I'm chilling for a bit until it stops raining enough to go for the half hour walk I need to top my daily minutes up to the minimum 90.
considering pizza tonight, from the pizza place a couple blocks away so delivery isn't needed and they get all the profit from me buying from them.
then a couple glasses of wine, the new episode of station 19 and whatever else is hanging around waiting to be watched.
tomorrow it's sleep in, walk and chores.
works been insane for weeks and so my weekends are about as much relaxing as possible. I'm sure you can all imagine that working in online education while the nation is learning remotely is hectic! We added half a million (yes you read that right) *additional* students world wide in the last two months. We're all exhausted, but going to work every day and getting to make such a huge contribution is enough to keep us going

Sounds nice and relaxing Trudi, I need to get out more for walks.
I can only imagine how hectic it is regarding online education. I've got all 3 of mine doing classes. Zoom and meet classrooms with the teachers (one munchkin doing NCEA).
Must admit its a bit stressful as I'm also working fulltime from home as well as helping them with their studies. The issue I have is that I'm having to teach myself how to do this stuff so I can help them as the teachers are not always there to help. They are also getting overloaded with the amount of content added each day. I've just told them to do what they can.

As an ex teacher, educational professional and someone with a lot of experience with kids, can I reassure you of a few things here?
- you don't have to become a teacher, educate the kids on curriculum content or 'home school'. Treat it like homework - guide where you can, refer back to instructions or the teacher if it's beyond what you can help with
- whatever is happening, it's not just your kids. Everyone's having similar battles. Get through what you can get through. Teachers will have plans for filling in gaps once school goes back
- there's not a school in the country where kids are sat quietly 8am until 3pm hard core studying and working. They won't do it at home. In a day they play games, run around at playtime and lunchtime, play sport, chatter to friends, muck around in classes etc. it's normal. They don't need to do '7-8 hours a day like school'. That's not a thing
- cooking, grocery lists, games, reading, a bit of tv, unpacking groceries, dishes, chores..... all that stuff is still learning. Kids won't do maths? Tell them they can choose $10 worth of this weeks groceries and get them to work out what they can buy for that etc etc. It doesn't need to be formal
- if your kids are alive, fed, clothed and warm then you're doing enough already and whatever else you manage is great. You got this. You are doing a good job.

As a teacher, I 100% agree with everything that Trudi says. I wish it wasn't refered to as "home schooling" in the media as it's not and calling it that puts a lot of pressure on patents that doesn't need to be there. It's online learning (there's a big difference). We are still doing the teaching. We also understand that not all the work is going to get done and that's ok. Just remember that kids don't have school at all for six or seven weeks over summer every year and they still turn out ok. Wellbeing is the best important thing right now, for students, parents and teachers. Right, back to my marking I go.
Yep been saying for literally weeks that it's not 'home schooling' it's supervising learning that is being delivered remotely by an industry professional (ie teacher).
I worry for some of my parent friends who seem to feel as if they're expected to magically become trained, qualified, experienced teachers overnight. I keep assuring people that literally no one expects that

I fully agree with that too, trudi. If your kids are happy, fed and doing some work, cool. If theyre learning life lessons instead, thats cool too. Everyone who is helping their kids right now, youre doing an awesome job, however youre doing it.

Was gunna buy a lotto ticticket but not anymore! HahaHahahahah

OOH Kewpie mayonnaise is my all time favourite mayo ever! We buy the 1kg one if we can get it and it goes with everything. Unfortunately the kids have turned into mayo snobs now and only want this one. I also recently found wasabi kewpie mayo and siracha kewpie mayo. SOOO good. Our kids really like the rice balls and I told them that we could make them ourselves, but definitely needed Kewpie. Now that's all they want with everything. It is definitely the Rols Royce of mayo. Obviously in my opinion. Haha. We made homemade Maccas at the beginning of lockdown too Shazatron. They were WAY more filling than the bought ones. I even went as far as making my own buns. They were kind of enormous. Pretty delicious though. Funny because we nearly never actually go to McDonalds.
