Even though the What’s On magazines have been very successful in Maple Ridge/ Pitt Meadows and Mission, we really had no idea how it would be received in a new community where most people had never heard of it before. But we have received nothing but positive feedback from so many of you. We keep hearing over and over how much the City needed something like this.

Summer Party Fun! Sweet Chilli Coconut Skewers

Serves 4 - Preparation time: 1 hour - Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients 165ml can coconut milk 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 teaspoon fish sauce 800g / 1.5lbs beef rump steak, trimmed & cut into 2cm cubes

Coconut chilli sauce 1 tablespoon roughly chopped roasted unsalted peanuts 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, toasted 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves 1 bird’s eye chilli, deseeded, finely chopped (optional) 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce

Method: Combine coconut milk, sugar, sweet chilli sauce, cinnamon, cardamom, garlic and fish sauce in a non-metallic bowl. Add beef. Toss to make sure the beef is coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, longer if time permits.

To make the coconut chilli sauce combine the peanuts, coconut, coriander, chilli, sweet chilli sauce and 3 teaspoons cold water in a bowl. Heat a greased barbecue plate or griddle on medium-high heat. Thread beef onto skewers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through. Drizzle with coconut chilli sauce. Serve with steamed rice, salad and lime wedges.

Healthy Asian-style Chicken Wings Makes about 8-16 chicken wings depending on size.

Preparation time: 10 minutes plus 30 minutes marinating time - Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 kg/2 lbs chicken wings 2.5 cm/1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced 4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped 8 tablespoons soy sauce - 3 tablespoons sake or dry sherry 2 tablespoons sugar - 225g/8oz plain all purpose flour

Method: First make the marinade. Mix the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar and sake or cooking sherry in a bowl. Marinate the chicken wings in this sauce for at least 30 minutes. Make sure all wings are coated and turn a couple of times during the marinating process.

Preheat oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6. Cover a large tray with baking parchment. Place the flour into a shallow bowl then drain the wings of the marinade. Dip each wing carefully into the flour, shake off any excess then place the wings on the prepared tray.

Bake skin side up for 15 minutes. Then turn the wings over so that the skin side is down and bake for another 15 minutes. Finally turn skin side up again and bake for a final 15 minutes to make sure they are crispy. Serve with salad on a bed of lettuce leaves.

Port itlam

Coqu rmers’ Market Fa As part of the goals of the Recreation Division’s business plan to strengthen Port Coquitlam’s downtown centre through arts, cultural and heritage programming, a local Farmers’ Market that includes artists and artisans has been implemented and delivered in partnership with the Haney Farmers Market Society of Maple Ridge.

The Society was created in 2004 to encourage a healthy community. It operates a local farmers’ market in Maple Ridge to stimulate and support local economic initiatives providing an opportunity for community groups and individuals to inform and work toward ecological and community health. Six principles guide the Society: locally grown or produced natural products, education, sense of community, opportunities, inclusiveness/ diversity and ambiance. The Society is managed by volunteers and a Market Manager.

Using the expertise and solid experience of the Haney Farmers Market Society, the Farmers Market at Port Coquitlam will promote awareness and appreciation for farm fresh produce, local eating which supports the economy and increase the capacity of small businesses (farmers and artisans) and nonprofit organizations in the community.

A very successful thirteen week pilot market supported by local farmers and prepared food vendors was held in 2009 and has now grown to seventeen weeks with over 35 vendors. It is held every Thursday from June to September, from 3 PM to 7 PM in Leigh Square in the Community Arts Village by City Hall.

Visit www.portcoquitlamfarmersmarket.org for more information and see our list of local vendors.

Meet DeeDee!

3 years old, Chihuahua mix, Yes to Dogs/Cats/Kids

Woodstock

DeeDee is a very sweet little girl! She came to LEASH when her previous owner passed away and as a result her and her 2 pack mates were split up. With all of these recent changes, she is still finding her confidence, but is making gains each day! She has the cutest underbite and even dances when she's excited! She is a very smart girl and listens well. She is also almost 100% housetrained.

Cases like Woodstock are not rare. Please consider donating in order to help dogs like Woodstock. You can check out Woody's GoFundMe campaign at www.gofundme.com/woodstock If the campaign for Woodstock has ended, please consider a general donation for other dogs in need.

Donate to our rescue at www.leashsavinglives.com

Little Woodstock was abandoned in a kill shelter in a bird cage by his owners, and it wasn't hard to find out why: Woody needs major surgery on both of his rear legs in order to live a pain-free life.
