In the grand spirit of philanthropy and recycling, the Larnaca Parents Network (LPN) will be hosting permanent collection and distribution centers for secondhand goods, to directly support underprivileged local families. The revival and reutilization of goods is not only beneficial to our environment, but it also presents us with an ideal opportunity to assist the less fortunate members of our local community.

LPN is coordinating efforts with the Larnaka 
Municipality Welfare Department and local churches. Designated pick-up points have been established as follows:-

  • Progress Cyprus Head Office (Konstantinou Christofidi No. 1 Sreet, Sophora Court 1, Larnaca 6021, Cyprus Tel: 70000667
  • Gaia Wellness Center 1 Andreas Souroukli St, CY6021 Larnaca, Cyprus. Tel: 99888062
  • Body Soul Space Dhekalia road

What you no longer require, may be desperately needed by somebody less fortunate. We would appreciate donations of any unwanted goods such as shoes, toys, clothes and blankets.  Many families will not be able to afford heating this winter, and respectfully request that these items are reasonably cleaned and laundered before handing them in.

We are also introducing a ‘Give-a-Gift’ concept, appealing for affordable gift offerings that will be given to the those in need as a gesture of compassion and goodwill on special occasions such as Christmas and Birthdays.

Thank you for supporting Larnaca Parents Network (LPN)

Leading Author Eve Makis shares her Creative Writing experience

When: Wednesday 5th December 2012
Where: Civil Marriage Office (next to the Town Hall)
Time: 8:00pm – 9:30pm

Most first time authors are told to write what they know and Eve Makis took that advice to heart when she started a bitter-sweet book about a Greek Cypriot family living in Nottingham. That story became Eat, Drink and be Married, her best selling debut novel published in five languages.

A decade later, this mother of two, has three published novels under her belt and is currently developing a screen adaptation of her third book, Land of the Golden Apple, to be filmed in April 2014.

Eve who lives in Larnaca with her family will be joining LPN to talk about her work, how she got published and the daily reality of a being a full time writer. She will read extracts from her books including a first reading of her recently completed (and as yet unpublished!) novel, Letters to a Lost Brother.

Before moving to Cyprus in September this year Eve taught creative writing at Nottingham University and plans to start a creative writing class in Larnaca.

 Theatre Antidote presents...

“War of Colours” (for ages 2 to 9 years old)..Christmas edition– no language used

A production that helps spectators, children and adults, to stop seeing life only in black and white and discover the rest of the colours. A gentleman lives in his own white environment.

Everything is tidy and covered in white. Suddenly a crazy being “invades” his personal space and makes him incredibly angry especially when she starts painting  with different colours everything that is white and clean.

In the end they discover together something extraordinary: when two colours mix together they create a new colour!A play about shape, colour, co-operation, and most importantly understanding that if you…just imagine, anything is possible!

Happy Thanksgiving

Pumpkin fritters


 

A delicious Greek recipe, ideal to use up excess pumpkins!!! Happy Thanksgiving :)


Ingredients

1kg pumpkin, cleaned, peeled
Sea salt and cracked pepper, to taste
1-2 tsp ground cumin
1 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup spring onions, chopped 
1–1½ cups plain flour
Olive oil, for frying

Preparation
Grate the pumpkin, place on a large plate and sprinkle with sea salt. Let it stand for 10–15 minutes.

Place small amounts of pumpkin in your hands and squeeze any excess liquid out of it. Transfer all the squeezed pumpkin to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, add the cumin and mix through. Add the parsley and onions and combine well.

Gradually mix small amounts of the flour through the pumpkin until the mixture thickens, enough to hold the shape of the pumpkin fritters.

Take a generous amount of the pumpkin mixture and roll it in your hands to form round patties. Try not to make them too thick as the fritters will not cook in the middle.

In a frying pan, pour in enough olive oil to cover the base of the whole pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Place the pumpkin fritters in the pan and fry on both sides, until they are golden brown. It is best not to overcrowd the frying pan, so make sure there is a little space between each fritter. Cook in batches if necessary.

Drain the fritters on kitchen paper. Serve hot or at room temperature. 

Delicious!!!

Thanksgiving - November 22nd



Traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings, followed by pumpkin pie (recipe next week), makes for the perfect Thanksgiving feast. 

Perfect roast turkey

How to roast turkey perfectly? A generous smear of butter and a few onions are all that are necessary in this easy recipe.
Ingredients

· 100g/3½oz butter, softened

· 2 tsp sea salt

· 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

· 4.5kg/10lb turkey, with giblets removed and cavity wiped clean

· 3 large onions, halved
Preparation method

1. The bird should be prepared the night before. Mix the butter with the salt and freshly ground black  pepper, then season the cavity of the bird.

2. Rub the butter mix all over the turkey. Fold a large piece of greaseproof paper to double thickness and lay over the breast to protect it during the cooking.

3. Leave it in the fridge overnight.

4. On the day you wish to serve the bird heat the oven to 220C/430F/Gas 7.

5. Take the turkey out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature while the oven is heating up.

6. Put the onions in a large roasting tray. Put the turkey on a trivet or wire rack in the tray.

7. Pour one cup of boiling water into the cavity of the bird and seal with a skewer. Pour two cups of boiling water into the bottom of the tin, then cover the whole thing with two layers of foil, making sure it is well sealed around the edges.

8. Cook for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

9. After 1½ hours, remove the foil and greaseproof paper.

10. Cook for a further 40 minutes and don't open the oven door until the cooking time is up.

11. To test whether the turkey is cooked, insert a skewer or knife blade into the point where the thigh joins the breast - the juice should run clear.

12. If it is pink, cook it for another 20 minutes and test again. Leave the turkey to rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving.

13. Strain the juice from the bottom of the tin into a large jug - the fat will rise to the top, leaving the aromatic turkey and onion beneath.

14. Skim off the fat use the juices to make a gravy or serve as it is.

Raising Cultural Awareness

TONGIHT 

When: Wednesday 7th of November 20112
Where: Gaia Wellness Centre
Time: 8:00pm - 10:00pm

  • Do you want to have a real conversation on the cultural differences that go far beyond casual conversations? 
  • Do you want to reflect the cultural values that drive you? 
  • Do you want to have some fun with surprising workshop exercises?

               “The fish in the water will discover
                 the existence of the water last.
                                 (Chinese Proverb)








Many people today are completely oblivious of their “water“. The ability to identify behaviour is based on different cultural backgrounds and intercultural communication skills, which form some of the key attributes that are needed today for both locals and foreigners.

In this playful workshop we invite you to participate in exercises that will make us rethink the concept of culture and be more aware on it‘s impact on our perception, thinking, values and actions in everyday life.

Speaker Profile 
LPN Mum Veronika Christodoulides holds a Master degree in Adult Continuing Education / Lifelong Learning from the Humboldt University Berlin in her home-country Germany, where she specialised in enhancing intercultural competence. She has been working on the subject with young adults as well as managers from all over the world.


This is a Sponsored  LPN event and free of charge.
