Keep Your Vehicle Safe in Winter!

During the dark winter month’s, it is important to maintain the safety of your vehicle’s windshield, whether it’s having those pesky rock chips filled, or a full windshield replacement.

We stock glass for all years, makes and models of vehicle’s, and our technician’s are industry certified.

Call or stop in any time, we are always here to assess your vehicle and help with any question’s you may have.

Vanilla Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce A Pretty Dessert For Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day

Preparation time: 1-2 hours

Cooking time: 10-20 minutes

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On! TM

Recipe Page

Servings: 4

Ingredients....For the panna cotta 3 gelatine leaves or unflavored vegan jel by Natural Desserts 1 1/8 cup/250ml/9fl oz cows milk or plant based milk 2 1/4 cups/250ml/9fl oz double cream or plant based cream 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways, seeds scraped out 1/8 cup/25g/1oz sugar

For the sauce 3/4 cups/175g/6oz sugar 3/4 cups/175ml/6fl oz water Splash raspberry, cherry or blackcurrant liqueur 2 3/4 cups/350g/12oz raspberries

And to serve Sprigs of fresh mint and blueberries (optional)

Method To make the panna cotta, soak the gelatine leaves in a little cold water until soft.

Place the milk, cream, vanilla pod, scraped seeds and sugar into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to a simmer. Remove the vanilla pod and discard.

Squeeze the water out of the gelatine leaves, then add to the pan.

Remove from the heat and stir until the gelatine has dissolved.

Divide the mixture between four pretty glass serving bowls and set aside to cool.

Place into the fridge for at least an hour, until set.

To make the sauce place the sugar, water and the splash of liqueur into a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the raspberries. Use a hand blender to blitz the sauce until smooth. Pass it through a strainer to remove the seeds.

To serve, pour the sauce over the panna cotta and garnish with the blueberries and a sprig of mint.

Alternative serving method - pour the panna cotta mix into oiled moulds rather than serving dishes, and set in the fridge as before. Blitz half the raspberries into the sauce and strain through the strainer, then stir in the remaining raspberries. When the panna cotta are set, dip the moulds in hot water for a few seconds and turn the panna cotta out on to a plate, spoon over the sauce and decorate with blueberries and mint.

Canada Games torch tours Chilliwack

By Adam Louis Like the Olympics before it, the Canada games gathers athletes from all walks of life to a sports spectacular years in the making.

The torch for the Canada Winter Games 2019 passed through Chilliwack on a celebration stop in late November on its way to Red Deer, Alberta for the bi-annual amateur athelte extravaganza.

“It’s a great way to unify the country,” said Melanie Pare, communications coordinator for the games. “This is our first time atking it nationally, thanks to the genrous support from MNP. Unifying the country is a very positive and strong theme [in the games] and it’s nice to see

it manifest itself throughout the country.”

Pare said spectactors can expect to see more than 4,000 amateur atheletes and coaches from across Canada compete in traditional sports like hockey and less traditional events like judo, squash and ringette.

Before making their way down the relay trail, the Canada Games representatives stopped at the Chilliwack Liesure Landing Centre for a celebration stop, giving Chilliwack residents the chance to learn more about the game and see the legendary torch itself before it left for its next leg of the path to Red Deer.

The Roly McLenahan Torch will see 50 communities before reaching its final destination from its beginnings on Parliament Hill in Ottowa. This is the first time in the 51 years of the Canada Games that the torch has made its way across the country.

The games in Red Deer run from February 15 to March 3 and is set to be one of the biggest events central Alberta has seen in more than 30 years. For more information about the games, a complete schedule and much more, visit them online at www.canadagames.ca.
