Laying Block

Another Monday night: another experience. Last night, Paul led the group through the basics of mixing mortar and laying block. Everyone had a turn at the blocks, and learned how important it is that they are set level and true. In the end, that "wall" looked solid!  Good work team!

A lesson in food

Yesterday, the DSBNi 2010 team had a great experience as Vietnamese cook, Hung, of Mai Vi restaurant in St. Catharines led a cultural cooking lesson for the group.  The session was hosted at Kernahan Park Secondary's teaching kitchen.  The team learned about vietnamese coffee and how fish sauce is made (surprise!).  Hung demonstrated a traditional dish and afterward, everyone had a chance to try their hand at it.  A lot of delicious spring rolls were a tasty part of the result.
