Dress up dinner with spring chutney One of the first home- grown vegetables to emerge from the ground in the spring is rhubarb. Thought of as a fruit, it's often paired with sweet fruits in pies and other desserts. Here's a way to bring it to the main course as a complement to pork. This rhubarb chutney from Foodland Ontario would be a welcome guest to Easter dinners that include roast pork or ham. Rhubarb Chutney Preparation time - 20 minutes Ingredients: • 3 cups (750 mL) chopped Ontario rhubarb • 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar • 1/4 cup (50 mL) water • 1 Ontario apple, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup/250 mL) • 1/2 cup (125 mL) raisins • 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced gingerroot • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground cloves Instructions: In medium saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, water, apple, raisins and gin- gerroot. Cook, covered, on medium heat, stirring occa- sionally, for about 10 minutes or until thickened and fruit has softened. Stir in salt, cinnamon and cloves. Pour into sterilized jars and keep refrigerated for up to one month. More recipes at www.ontario.ca/foodland/recipies. How COVID-19 impacts Canadian seniors' taxes and finances By Lisa Gittens It's hard to fathom that one year ago the COVID-19 pandemic was just hitting the world, and now it's hard to find a facet of life that hasn't been affected by it. While people of all ages have been impacted, sadly, the pandemic has disproportionately impacted seniors and retirees, bringing about a new set of anxieties and challenges. This includes the impact on seniors' finances. Here are just some of the financial chang- es that may have affected Canadian seniors throughout the pandemic - and how they may impact your taxes this year. Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaran- teed Income Supplement (GIS) Eligible Canadian seniors should have received a one-time, $300 tax-free payment for the Old Age Security (OAS) pension, plus Y O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E www.foreveryoungnews.comY O U RY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E www.www.foreveforeveryoungryoungryoungnewsnewsY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E www.foreveryoungnews.comY O U RY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E www.www.foreveforeveryoungryoungryoungnewsnewsY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E www.foreveryoungnews.comY O U RY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E www.www.foreveforeveryoungryoungryoungnewsnewsY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E www.foreveryoungnews.comY O U RY O U R F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S F I F T Y - F I V E P L U S N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E N E W S S O U R C E www.www.foreveforeveryoungryoungryoungnewsnews Childhood fantasies of a giant bunny hiding Easter eggs and treats around the house or yard conjure many versions of the mythical character. One image of the Easter bunny that millions around the world recognize is that of the Lindt Gold Bunny. Clad in gold foil with a ribbon around its neck, complete with a little bell, the bunny celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. It was first created in Germany in 1952 and has become the centrepiece of Easter celebrations everywhere. The Gold Bunny has a rich history that details the tale of its beginning. The story goes that one Easter, the young daughter of a Lindt Maître Chocolatier spotted a bunny in the long grass as the family was having a traditional Easter brunch. Excitedly she asked if she could go outside to play with it. Her father consented but as she ran to the door, the bunny promptly vanished into the bushes with a single flash of its tail. For days, she was heartbroken. Her father thought long and hard how he could cheer her up before coming up with the perfect idea. He decided to craft a bunny so she could always find her little friend: the Lindt Gold Bunny was born. Every year after that, his daughter looked forward to hunting for her little Gold Bunny in the gar- den with family. Today, around 150 mil- lion Lindt Gold Bunnies are produced every year in more than 50 countries around the world. If you were to line them up nose to tail, they would span the distance from Lindt headquarters in Kilchberg, Switzerland to San Diego, California - that's 9,800 kilometres. From start to finish, it takes about an hour to bring a chocolate bunny to life. After coating a mould with fine chocolate, the bunnies are left to cool at optimum temperature to attain the perfect sheen and a crisp snap. Then, each bunny is wrapped in signature gold foil and polished by the gloved hands of a Lindt Maître Chocolatier. As a final touch, each Lindt Gold Bunny has a red ribbon and bell hand-placed around its neck. No matter how or if you celebrate Easter on Sunday, April 17, the day that for Christians marks Christ's resurrection, has become synony- mous with chocolate treats.
