Individual Spinach and Leek Quiche What's Cookin': Makes 8 individual meat pie sized Strolling down Main St. quiche Ingredients · 8 individual meat pie sized frozen tart shells This morning it's my day off today (Friday this week). I drank tea while laying on the couch and watching The Big Chill-- I love that movie! Anyhow, then I was up and ready to go. My mission was to do all my errands and purchase all the ingredients for a nice dinner while on Main Street of Georgetown without going to the grocery store. Now you all know that I'm a fan of the grocery store -- especially since my full-time employer happens to be the largest grocery retailer in Canada. However, I am also a longtime Georgetown girl and therefore concerned with the fate of the small local businesses. Off I went on my mission. First stop, Ollie's to purchase a new pair of bike shoes (the kind that clip in). No problem. Next stop, TD Canada Trust for a bit of cash and a laugh with the girls. Now the big question-- can I get all the dinner ingredients without leaving Main Street? I needed a lemon, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, flour, yeast, onion, something interesting (but non-alcoholic) to drink and 17 ·The IFP· Halton Hills, Thursday, May 17, 2012 Lori Gysel & Gerry Kentner something to have as an appetizer. Well, McMaster's solved all my produce issues and had these awesome pale gingerbeer drinks that we love. Foodstuffs had the grocery items (and the new vegetable peeler that I forgot I needed) and the Mill St. Cheese Shop had these cool flavoured lemonade drinks and of course, some lovely prosciutto, cheese, olives and bread for the appetizer. Mission accomplished! There's nothing quite like putting on your running shoes and sauntering along the Main St. making your purchases-- knowing that you're getting top quality products from local people. So thanks Downtown merchants-- can't wait for the Farmer's Market to start (June 9)! Have fun and keep cooking!

Learn four basic steps to recognize persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them with suicide helping resources in a three-hour training called SafeTALK. The North Halton Distress Centre hosts the workshop on Wednesday, May 23, 7-10 p.m. in the the Georgetown police station community room. Why come to safeTALK? Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help. Often these opportunities are missed, dismissed or avoided-- leaving people more alone and at greater risk. SafeTALK training prepares you to help by using TALK (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to identify and engage people with thoughts of suicide and to connect them with further help and care. SafeTALK is for everyone who wants to help prevent suicide: front line workers, clergy, volunteers, parents, youth, teachers, law enforcement or anyone who wants to be a suicide alert helper.
