This cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any summer holiday occasion! It features a crunchy gingernut biscuit base and a smooth, creamy mascarpone filling that’s both tangy and sweet. Topped with a layer of lemon curd and finished with mint and edible flowers, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

With special New York-based guest presenter and teacher Boijayanti, sharing her meditation skills and insights during her short NZ visit.
For most people the mind has become the master, not the servant it should be – how do we regain control, cultivate a quiet and peaceful mind, a stillness in the body and the breath?
These informal and informative evenings will help with answers, covering the simple but often overlooked essentials of meditation and sharing a toolkit of techniques you can practice and explore. Our guest presenter Boijayanti is a longtime practitioner of meditation and was fortunate to have the guidance of the late Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy (www.srichinmoy.org) – she shares these inspirational teachings with humour and simplicity.
Usher in the New Year with positive new life skills, clarity of purpose, a peaceful mind and heart – you only need the sincerity to make a start.
When: Tuesdays / Thursdays, February 11, 13, 18: 7:30pm – 9pm nightly
Venue: The Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Three Kings, Mt Eden.
Free admission, however registration is required to accommodate numbers attending. Please register by confirming your details to Jogyata on Whatsapp to: 0221887432

We’ll be working overnight and during the weekend to improve these roads and make it safer and easier for people living, working, and travelling around this area.
SH16 is a busy road for Aucklanders, and we have chosen to work over the summer when traffic volumes are lower than normal. More stable summer weather reduces delays so our teams can finish this work quickly and efficiently.

Me: “Your total is $44.19. Cash or card?”
The customer hands me a credit card but the chip inside it has been hole-punched out.
Me: “Uh, I don’t think this will work.”
Customer: “Why not? It hasn’t expired and I have money in my account.”
Me: “Sir… the chip is gone.”

The customer hands me a credit card but the chip inside it has been hole-punched out.
Me: “Uh, I don’t think this will work.”
Customer: “Why not? It hasn’t expired and I have money in my account.”
Me: “Sir… the chip is gone.”
Customer: “I didn’t want the chip.”
Me: “The card won’t work without it.”
Customer: “It just means I can’t enter my PIN, but you can still swipe it.”
Me: “I don’t think it will work, sir.”
Customer: “Just swipe it.”
I swipe it to prove a point.
Me: “It’s not working, sir.”
Customer: “Then you’re doing it wrong. Swipe it again!”
I do so again with the same result.
Customer: “Maybe you should swipe it so that the magnetic strip isn’t the thing being swiped?”
Me: *Swiping it as suggested.* “Sure, why not? About as much chance of it going through without the magnetic strip as there is without the chip – oh look, it didn’t work.”
Customer: “Your machine must be broken!”
