CHANA MASALA Baked potatoes night after night can suck the life out of any dinner creation. Step outside your comfort zone and use these spuds to make a dish inspired by the cuisine of India. This two-potato Chana Masala is a great option for anyone new to South-Asian flavours or South-Asians looking to take their household favourite to the next level. "This two-potato version is hearty and rich, plus it's vegan and gluten-free." >>>
CHANA MASALA is a quintessential Indian dish which is equally appropriate at a dinner party or weeknight supper,” says VANITA ASHAT, a cooking school coordinator.

School Life STREETSVILLE
SECONDARY SCHOOL The students at Streetsville Secondary School have had a very exciting start to their second semester. One of the highlights so far has been the senior girls volleyball team. Streetsville hosted Applewood Heights on February 18th for the tier 2 finals. After a nail-biting game from beginning to end, the Streetsville Tigers came out on top with a 1715 victory in the fifth and final set. The team is now headed to Kenora for OFSAA and we wish them the best! Other exciting news for the students at Streetsville is the announcement of the second annual Snowball semi-formal dance in March. The semi-formal last year was a great success, and this year, it will be even bigger and better. The Staff and students are really looking forward to a night of fun, music and dancing. Streetsville SS takes pride in giving back and serving the community. In February, the Interac club hosted a Valentine’s day skate at Vic Johnson arena where all proceeds went
to help acid attack victims. In March, Streetsville is also having its annual Cops for Cancer fund raiser at Vic Johnson arena where a staff and student hockey team will play against a team of Peel’s finest with all proceeds going to cancer research. The School is also hosting a two part evening series for parents called “Internet Safety, What Parents Need to Know” with Key Note Speakers Steve Chapelle, Dr. Karris del Rozario and Peel police. Lastly, in the first week of March, Streetsville SS is hosting a mental wellness week promoting good mental health. Various activities are taking place throughout the week such as yoga, Zumba, colouring therapy and the use of therapy dogs. For more information, you can visit the Streetsville Secondary school Website, Facebook page follow them on Twitter @StreetsvilleSS.
Streetsville Secondary School is offering a two part series on Internet safety for parents.

HOME PROJECT

mbarking on a home improvement project is a fun and rewarding way to spend spare time. With a myriad of ideas available in books and on the Internet, ideas abound for quick makeovers that yield dramatic results and useful solutions. >>>
“ With the right supplies and a few good tools, you can tackle small improvement projects with confidence and ease,” says MARK WOLLE a broker-owner with Royal LePage Wolle Realty in Kitchener, Ontario.
HERE ARE HIS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
TOOLS MOST COMMONLY USED FOR SMALL PROJECTS AROUND THE HOME: CLAW HAMMER. Ensure you have this old standby for general assembly and demolition.
NAIL SETS. You'll need these in a variety of sizes to sink nailheads below the worksurface, providing for a clean finish.
COPING SAW. This saw has a very narrow blade stretched across a U-shaped frame. It's the tool of choice for making curved cuts to wood.
TAPE MEASURE. You'll find it useful to have both a 12-ft and a 25-ft tape measure on hand. >>>

home renovation
CORDLESS DRILL/DRIVER. This portable power tool makes light work of drilling holes and driving screws.
LEVELS. A 4-ft bubble level is best used on large surfaces – the smaller torpedo level works nicely in confined spaces.
COMBINATION SQUARE. This square is used to position hardware, such as hinges on doors, and to check right and 45˚ angles.
CARPENTER'S PENCIL. The pencil's flat design keeps it from rolling off surfaces and it is used for marking and laying out hardware.
UTILITY KNIFE AND PUTTY KNIFE. A utility knife will handle most cutting and trimming jobs. You'll need a putty knife for filling holes and patching.
MITER BOX. This tool is used with a handsaw to cut accurate 45˚ and 90˚ angles. The miter box is most often used for cutting trim and molding to length.
SCREWDRIVERS. Your toolkit should include different sizes in both Phillips and Robertson. Or, you can consider at four-in-one screwdriver that holds four bits - two standard and two Phillips, which should meet most jobs.
SAFETY GEAR: Eye and ear protection; dust mask or respirator; knee pads; work gloves; work boots; and, a good first aid kit. For best results, look for quality in the tools you select and invest in a tool bag or carry-all to keep your essentials well organized and easily accessible.
