Chat to a Youth Worker The Phoenix Youth Centre is currently closed due to COVID 19, but the Youth Services team are working and will continue to provide Maribyrnong young people with individual support during this time.

Head over to their website for further details. https://bit.ly/2Ux4BwK Method Topping Preheat oven to 170c and lightly spray a 12-count cupcake tin with baking spray. Evenly divide butter into the bottom of each cupcake well. Sprinkle each well with 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar. Rim the bottom of each pan by laying 4 pineapple chunks in a flower pattern over the butter and brown sugar. Press a Maraschino cherry into the centre of each "flower". Set aside. Cupcakes Prepare your cupcakes by beating together butter and sugar in a medium- sized bowl until creamy and well- combined. Add eggs, beating one at a time until combined. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding flour and buttermilk, starting and ending with flour and mixing until just combined after each addition (I prefer to do this part by hand with a spatula to be sure not to over-mix). Evenly divide the cupcake batter into your prepared pan. The batter will be thick, so use a spoon to spread it evenly into each cupcake well. Fill each cupcake well all the way to the top. Bake on 170c for 22-25 minutes. Remove, allow to cool for 5 minutes, and then place a wire cooling rack over the cupcake tin, covering each cupcake. Carefully, using potholders as the tin will be very hot, keep the cooling rack pressed against the tin and invert. Lift the muffin tin, the cupcakes should release easily.

Sorry, it has taken this long to write but I have been working behind the scenes keeping updated through the Centre, talking with those students whose contact I have, talking with Helen who takes the “Zoom” sessions - by the way I have been hearing from the students what a great job Helen has done with these sessions, and have been giving a great deal of thought to handling yoga in the future. I have been missing you and our experiences together. But I am hopeful we can share the yoga experience face to face some time in Term 3. In the meantime I am making audio sessions.

These sessions are available free until 6 July at https://bit.ly/30OIkhL I am also hoping to produce sheets of diagrams and short practical and philosophic comments but before I feel confident to do that, I would like some feedback - good and bad points.

Am now having adopted 2 furry friends, busy keeping them happy and doing jigsaw puzzles when not on the phone or doing solo walks. I'm also following programs from the community centre. I do look forward to closer contact with real people.
