Enraptured

We don’t talk enough about our mental health. If you are feeling low, worthless, experiencing anxiety or depression, seek help from your doctor. A family history of diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, bowel cancer, prostate cancer is no reason to worry, just ask your doctor about any suitable screening. Smoking and increased consumption of alcohol can have implications on your health too. There is help available to quit or reduce alcohol consumption.

Men are known to avoid the doctor or taking care of themselves which leads to a reduced life span in comparison to women. Every year Men’s Health week is celebrated in the second week of June around the world to encourage more men to be aware of their health.

Do not neglect your physical and mental health, take care of yourself. Please book your preventative maintenance servicing with your doctor at the earliest and keep your body machinery running well.

Tatura Kebabs

Baqir Rezae has taken over the old chicken shop in Tatura to make and sell kebabs and having eaten one myself, I can confirm they are delicious. Baqir lives in Shepparton and travels from there each day, as he has the shop open seven days a week from 10am until 7pm. He has stated, "We offer meals of excellent quality. The key to our success is simple, to support the Tatura community, providing quality and consistent food every single time. We pride ourselves on serving our customers delicious genuine dishes, such as kebabs, drinks and sweets."

They have a wide variety of kebabs in wraps and rolls; that is beef, lamb and chicken. There are also many choices to add - onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese, carrots, tabouli, falafel and sauces. Prices start from $9 upwards and with snack packs from $16. There are also family packs and kid’s packs with chicken nuggets. And don't forget to add some chips or Turkish bread. Sweets on offer are both Turkish Delight and Baclava at $5 each. And then you can finish your meal off with a coffee (cappuccino, flat white or latte) or hot chocolate.

I particularly liked the fact I could choose plain salt, chicken salt or no salt at all on the chips and could take home some Tabouli salad.

Baqir's wife, Rezae, who was originally from Pakistan, told me they have a three-year-old daughter and that they are looking forward to be able to visit family she hasn't seen for five years or at least, have some of them visit over here. She said they don't want much and just dream of a relaxed life with everyone happy and content. She supports her husband in the profession he loves so much, having never been interested in doing anything else. They both look forward to the shop growing and having extra staff so that Baqir can have a bit of time off to spend with his family. From what I
