It's not only the three homes that Simon Bridges owns, or the base pay of just shy of $300,000, that mean his personal finances are a little different from that of ordinary Kiwis. from http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/101854679/Private-super-schemes-are-MPs-bridges-to-wealth from Chelsea Kingston's Blog http://chelseak85.blogspot.com/2018/03/private-super-schemes-are-mps-bridges.html

Recipe: Jordan Rondel's blackberry cake with apricot compote

While berries and stone fruit are at their peak, I can't resist using them in every which way. The berries in this cake, as well as the apricots are completely interchangeable, so if you prefer raspberries or blueberries, apricots or peaches, try those instead.  from http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/recipes/101358294/Recipe-Jordan-Rondels-blackberry-cake-with-apricot-compote from Chelsea Kingston's Blog http://chelseak85.blogspot.com/2018/03/recipe-jordan-rondels-blackberry-cake.html

Nothing compares with Sam Mannering's fresh pasta

Nothing compares with fresh pasta. I'm insisting that you give this a go. Sundays demand this sort of activity. If I had children, I'd forever be distracting them with the pasta machine. I say hold back on any dried equivalent until you have the time to make fresh pasta yourself. It's a revelation, and I don't say that lightly.  from http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/recipes/101614923/Nothing-compares-with-Sam-Mannerings-fresh-pasta from Chelsea Kingston's Blog http://chelseak85.blogspot.com/2018/03/nothing-compares-with-sam-mannerings.html

Bach culture helps Kiwis adopt Airbnb mindset

Overseas trips have become a lot more economic for Wellington woman Thalia Kehoe Rowden and her family since they started letting their house on Airbnb. The three-bedroom house in Hataitai can accommodate up to seven paying guests, and rents for about $238 a night. Kehoe Rowden said, over the three years that she and her husband had owned it, they had let it for three months of each year - and a full year while they were volunteering in Thailand. "It's a great way to make use of the house when you're away. Our house would be sitting there empty, it just seemed to totally make sense," Kehoe Rowden said. from http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/101846131/Bach-culture-helps-Kiwis-adopt-Airbnb-mindset from Chelsea Kingston's Blog http://chelseak85.blogspot.com/2018/03/bach-culture-helps-kiwis-adopt-airbnb.html
