Jenny Jenny Morris – aka The Giggling Gourmet – is one of SA’s most-loved food personalities. She is a restaurateur (Yumcious, in Greenpoint), author, radio and TV presenter, celebrity chef, teacher and culinary tour guide who has had an ongoing love affair with food since she was a child, when she started making mouth-watering treats for school fundraisers. It’s a love affair in the true sense of the word, one that employs all the senses. Q: Tell us about Yumcious – it’s origins, your vision, what you are offering. A: Yumcious serves fine casual food. I spend almost evey night of my life dreaming up recipes. I can almost taste the colours, textures and flavours in my dreams, they are so real. I needed an outlet other than my cooking school to turn these recipes into reality. I wanted to serve fine casual food to lots of people, and the food is just that. Q: How did your journey as a foodie start? A: From a young age, I have always had a very adventurous palate. My parents welcomed us in the kitchen and were always introducing us to new ingredients. I always knew my life would revolve around food.

Prawn Crystal Spring Rolls Serves 6 I learned to make these at the home of a tipsy boatman on the banks of the Mekong River. They are utterly delicious – fresh, crunchy and tasty – and are really easy to make, even though they take a little time to put together. Get someone to give you a hand soaking the rice paper. The trick is to soak one at a time, as they are very delicate, and by the time you have filled one, the next one will be ready to roll with a little help from a friend. INGREDIENTS Dipping Sauce • ½ cup rice vinegar • ¼ cup boiling water • ½ cup castor sugar • 1 Tbs fish sauce • 2 small chillies, chopped • 1 Tbs chopped fresh coriander • 1 tsp sesame oil • 1Tbs finely-diced fresh cucumber
Spring Rolls • 24 prawns, deveined, lightly steamed and shelled • 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage • 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly julienned • 1 cup freshest bean sprouts • 1 medium English cucumber, julienned • 24 large fresh mint leaves • 24 fresh basil leaves • 12 coriander sprigs • 24 butter lettuce leaves • 12 dried rice paper rounds
METHOD • Make the dipping sauce first. Place the vinegar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and add the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Bring to the boil and let it bubble away for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fish sauce and chillies. Stir in the chopped coriander, sesame oil and diced cucumber when cool and set aside. • To make the spring rolls, place one rice paper at a time in a bowl of warm water to to soften it slightly. Remove to a flat surface and place a little red cabbage, carrot, a few bean sprouts and some cucumber in the centre of the rice paper and top with two fresh mint and basil leaves and a sprig of coriander. Now top with two prawns and a lettuce leaf. If the leaves are too big, trim them to size. • Fold in the sides of the rice paper and gently roll up nice and tight. Do the same with the remaining rounds of rice paper. Pack onto a tray with enough space between them so they don’t stick together, and cover with a damp clean cloth. • When you are ready to serve, slice the rolls in half diagonally, place on a plate and serve with dipping sauce I sometimes make these with shredded duck breast, rare thinly-sliced beef fillet, shredded chicken breasts, or even leave out the meat and go vegetarian. If you can lay your hands on some Vietnamese mint, please add a leaf to your roll.

Tip: You can make these up to two hours ahead – just cover them with a clean damp cloth to © Taste The World with Jenny Morris 2013 –2015

Health & Wellbeing Pollen not the biggest culprit behind SA’s hayfever woes It’s the height of the hayfever season. Hayfever is a condition that affects approximately 30% of South Africans, but pollen might not be the main culprit behind your nasal allergy misery. For decades, hayfever sufferers have been led to believe that their condition is brought on by the amount of pollen in the air, but there are a host of other triggers too. Pollen could in many cases elicit a severe allergic reaction, but sufferers will be surprised to learn that their nasal allergies might not have anything to do with pollen spores. Hayfever symptoms, however, vary from person to person, but typically include an itchy, runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, postnasal drip and/or fatigue. In general, there is a huge misconception that if someone sneezes a lot, they must have pollen-induced hayfever, when it could be due to many other allergens such as dust mites, pets or cockroaches. The most commonly inhaled allergens are: • different types of pollen (from trees, grass, weeds and flowers) • house dust mite • cat and dog dander • cockroaches • fungal spores Other triggers that could worsen symptoms include: • Strong perfumes and cold air can trigger nasal symptoms by non-allergic mechanisms
• Red wine – alcohol is a vasodilator, which widens your blood vessels and can cause a runny or stuffy nose, but wine in particular can exacerbate symptoms because it contains sulphites. Red wine is highest in sulphites and is fermented with grape skins, which contain a protein allergen. • Veggie drawer – some fruits and vegetables contain proteins similar to those found in pollen, which can confuse your immune system. • Swap contact lenses for glasses on high-pollen days since dust and pollen can stick to contact lenses, trapping allergens against your already itchy and irritated eyes. • Swimming in chlorinated pools may irritate your airways, which could aggravate allergy symptoms. • A humidifier is a reservoir for mould and bacteria, so clean it regularly to get the maximum relief from this device. One can treat nasal allergies with antihistamines, which prevent histamine from attaching to your cells and causing symptoms. A decongestant can also be used to reduce the swelling in the nasal passages, but the latter could cause a rebound effect if used for longer than the recommended three to five days, which could end up making you even more congested, so use only as directed.

Banish the blank: How to manage a mid-exam meltdown As Matrics head to exam halls to write one of the most important examinations they will ever write, some will find themselves in a terrifying situation where they hit that dreaded blank – an inability to recall information despite months of solid preparation and dedicated study. Writing an exam can be a very stressful experience for many learners, even when they were diligent in their revision. Teachers and parents should, as their final act of support before pen is put to paper, empower learners to know what to do should they be confronted with a mental void when they receive their papers. The exam environment can be unfamiliar and daunting. The environment is often a formal one, with rules about where to sit, what you can do, and what you can have with you. It is quite normal to experience exam nerves in an examination venue. However, sometimes students can become so overwhelmed that they cannot remember the material that they have spent many hours reviewing. This can lead them to feel even more panicked and stressed. To avoid runaway nerves, learners should do the following in the minutes before the clock starts: Firstly, when you receive the paper, carefully read through all the instructions and every page of the paper. Then re-read all the instructions. This will give you a sense of what is expected of you. Remind yourself that even if you do forget some details, it is unlikely that you will completely forget everything. Then, while reading through the paper, mark all the questions that you can answer. Start with these questions first. That will give you some confidence and allow your mind some time to process, as well as to start accumulating some marks for the paper. If a learner still feels overwhelmed, they can take the following steps in order to gain their equilibrium and confidence. 1. Don’t panic If you feel panicked, take long, slow and deep breaths. Doing this will calm you physically. Getting the physical panic under control is an important step in calming your mind. 2. Calm down Once you have calmed your body, it is time to calm your mind. Give yourself a mental pep-talk by repeating to yourself “I am calm. I have worked hard. I know my work.” You can also give yourself this pep talk while you are taking deep breaths. 3. Get back to business Once you are feeling a bit calmer, go back to the questions that you believed that you could not answer. Try to jot down anything and everything that you can remember about the material. You can always cross this out to indicate that it should not be marked.
Page 6
AWSUM NEWS OCTOBER 2016
4. Visualise If you cannot remember any of the material, try to use some memory tricks to assist you. For example, try to visualise sitting in class when the material was covered, or try to picture yourself in your study area with your notes in front of you. Often thinking about the context of the material can help you to remember it. 5. Reconstruct your memories If you are able to jot down notes about the material, review these notes and see how the information that you have remembered relates to the question. Try to reformulate your notes into a response to the question that was given to you. 6. Remember the big picture Keep in mind that what you are usually marked on is your ability to answer the question. In the worst case scenario, where you cannot remember a single piece of information from your course material, simply try to answer the question from a common sense perspective. You may find that you do actually know quite a bit about the question and may be awarded some marks for your general knowledge. Doing this may also prompt you to remember the course material. Staying calm is your most important weapon in the exam room, as is keeping a sense of perspective at all times, and endeavouring only to do your best in whichever situation you find yourself. You need to remember that you generally have more than one opportunity to perform in a subject. For example, you may write more than one paper for any one subject, and your year marks also count towards your final mark. If, in the worst case scenario, you do fail the exam papers, and your year marks, you may still have the opportunity to apply to re-write the subject.

PINELANDS NORTH PRIMARY SCHOOL PNPS Fun Run/Walk On Wednesday, 28 September we held our annual Fun Run/Walk. Instead of running around the Elsieskraal Canal this year, children ran laps around the school and completed a set of challengers on our sports field. Thank you to all the teachers and parents who helped make this event a great success despite the weather putting a damper on the event.
PNPS Under African Skies School Play Pinelands North Primary’s biennial school play opened to packed houses in September, when the entire school rolled up their sleeves and got their jive on, for a colourful production called Under African Skies. This modern comedy of errors was written and created to suit the school’s progressive and inclusive style by staff member Suzi Cinderey. Grades 1 to 7 entertained with colourful dances, which were woven together by a mischievous comedy, featuring a group of teenaged misfits.
THE PINELANDS PRIMARY SCHOOL The Pinelands Primary School celebrates its 90th year
The 90th year celebration was very special as the music department developed a new 90th birthday song for Founders’ Day and the whole school was able to sing it during a special assembly. One of the traditions of the Blue School is the announcement of the head prefects during the assembly. The Blue School would like to congratulate our Head Prefects: Tamara Bantom and Naadirah Majal and the Deputy Head Prefects: Caleigh McMillan and Imaad Van Ross and wish them well in their new role as leaders of the school. As part of the celebrations, the learners were treated to a show called the BFG, written by Roald Dahl, which was performed by the National Theatre for Youth Arts group. The students really enjoyed watching this show and could not believe the giant was so scary. In conjunction, the school had a fun walk around Pinelands, which included all learners from Grade R to Grade 7. The learners brought cupcakes to school as part of the celebrations and they were distributed to the various classes in the school as well as to a number of old age homes and needy organisations and schools in the surrounding areas. Thank you to the parents of the Blue School for their generous contributions and kindness.

Pyjama Day 23 September 2016 On 23 September the pupils and staff came to work in their finest sleepwear to celebrate Pyjama Day. There were onesies, furry sleeping gowns and slippers galore. The pupils spent the day sitting cross-legged at their desks, sipping hot chocolate and cupcakes. Some of the Grade 3`s made the most of the day by camping out at the school library with their books and some trying desperately not to nod off after an exciting and exhausting week of our school play.

GSHS had the privilege of their jazz band entertaining delegates during the tea and lunch breaks on the last day of conference, 27 September. The broad repertoire of West African Jazz, South African fare and old Cape favourites had the audiences swaying, and ululating their enjoyment of the smooth sounds. Also on the day, a panel of five Grade 12 learners engaged with the conference theme, “Educating the African child: Opening the gateway to global citizenship”. Mrs Roberta Crumplin, the GSHS Head of English, facilitated the panel discussion. Tariq Khan, Joshua Solomon, Mapaseka Masego, Zanele Mzukwa, and Chloe Prinsloo enthralled the delegates with their grasp of the African context – her history, education systems, economics and economic challenges, and where our continent fits in the world. Delegates were particularly interested on their views of making Africa the focal point for their input, their education and industry when they qualify in their respective fields. There was overwhelming support for the view that Africa, with its vast resources, and scientific and technical expertise, should become the economic trendsetter in the global economy.
The five learners enjoyed celebrity status after their panel discussion, when delegates from across the continent lined up to be photographed with them.
