m economist suntribune dtverslons saturday oct 19 2002 i i in i 1 i is sewing costumes great khan has plenty for all palates teaches creativity from page 25 phillips owner of the grafters nook in newmarket mrs phillips also suggests dressing up as a popular favourite a pumpkin using a simple technique take an orange garbage bag with a black face on it used for storing leaves cut out holes for arms and legs fill the bag with scrunched up leaves and wear a green or brown hat to look like the stem of the pumpkin boxes are always an easy prop for costumes one idea is dressing up your child like a christmas or birthday gift using ribbon and wrapping paper pat ketchell manager for lewiscraft at upper canada mall saw a 10-year- old boy in the mall one year who had designed an innovative halloween cos tume using a box and blue paint he was a blue box it was really neat i thought it was so unique for today mrs ketchell says the box went over his head and had holes for his arms and legs he had tin cans cereal boxes and other recyclable items hanging out of the blue box he had smaller items such as tooth paste boxes hanging off his hat another good idea mrs ketchell says is to sew or pin green or purple baly loons over a childs clothing and have a child go as a bunch of grapes today so many people buy cos tumes so when you see something made its like wow thats really neat she says mrs ketchells daughter lisa went as a popcorn box one year its the selfsatisfaction of doing something she painted a box white and painted a red stripe on it with the word pop corn across the front when her son adam wanted to be a tube of toothpaste mrs ketchell took a white sheet cut it and sewed it to fit him she made the word crest out of felt and put it across the sheet to make the cap she used a pleated lampshade and put an elastic under his chin i think part of the fun of halloween is creating your own creation and com ing up with the idea rather than just walking out of a store mrs ketchell says when i get the costumes done they the children are so happy with them its the selfsatisfaction of doing something and you are teaching your kids to be creative by sheryl greenspan special if ever there was a restaurant that offered something for everyone then great khan mongolian grill is it whether your tastes are exotic or more traditional whether you are a vegetarian or a picky eater even if you dont like oriental food you can find something and plenty of it great khan mongolian grill bills itself as an adventure in northern chinese dining offer ing an allyoucaneat dining experience combining a tradi tional chinese buffet a mongolian hot pot and the star of the show the mongolian grill all under one roof all three con cepts are included in the price so come hungry and go nuts my dining companion and i started our adventure at the more familiar chinese buffet area here we were greeted by an assortment of the familiar and the notsofamiliar the food on the buffet ranged from excellent to mediocre but with a selection of 20 or more items everyone can find something to enjoy after a bowl of near perfect hot and sour soup and a shared plate of assorted delights from the buffet we headed over to the mongolian grill here in the notes on a napkin great khan mongolian grill location 7131 kennedy rd in markham village strip mall phone 9059478288 website wwwmongoliangrillgkcom wine selection beer wine cocktails reservations recommended for week ends centre of the restaurant was an extremely large round grill expertly staffed by three chefs sporting long chopsticks for tossing and turning the food the mongolian grill concept can best be described as an enormous raw food bar to begin you are presented with an empty bowl to fill with your choice of ingredients in the meat category you will find beef lamb chicken and pork the meat is shaved very thin and presented in small rolls on ice next are four seafood selec tions that often change but on our visit included shrimp sliced whitefish conch and squid all in bitesized pieces vegetarians will delight in the 19 assorted vegetables and noo dles once your bowl is filled you move to one of eight sauce sta tions the flavours range from sweet to spicy although the sign at the sauce station suggested choos ing only one we decided to live on the edge recklessly throwing several sauces on to our bowls the final stop before cooking was the condiments station where you choose from up to 14 final touch items your bowl is then handed to a chef who quickly grills its con tents and returns them to you in a fresh bowl or if you wish you can try cooking the same selection of foods at your table in the mongolian hot pot the hot pot is basically a divided pot of boil ing broth one side savoury and one side spicy room for dessert try to save some if only for the shaved ice literally a bowl of shaved ice with your choice of 10 different toppings it tastes better than it sounds or looks i f
