class="content__text" Life is getting so expensive these days, and everyday costs are creeping up - whether it’s bills, gas or kai - it ain’t easy out here. We can’t go out every night to our favourite food spots but we can make amazing kai at home. Here’s a cheap recipe Aunty Trish shared with us last year to help feed your flat or whānau. Fry bread isn’t very traditional but it is definitely a well known Māori kai. We looked for the cheapest ingredients we could find and all together the cost for making fry bread came to a whopping $8.37 - with all these ingredients you can make a few batches. There are many different ways to eat this fluffy, crispy, pillowy goodness. Smother it with some butter and drizzle with golden syrup for a sweet treat, fill it with some creamed Pāua for a pocket of deliciousness or have it as a side dish with your Oven Hāngī. Get creative with it. This is part of our reo Māori series, Ohinga, created by @mahitahiagency , with funding from @te_mangai_paho and the @nz_on_air Public Interest Journalism Fund.

class="content__text" MDMA is known for its brutal comedowns. But when it’s used in research, participants don’t report any comedowns at all. So what if it’s not the drug that gives comedowns, but instead the way people take it? In 2021, Re: News asked three drug takers what they’ve learnt about comedowns (including how to take the “down” out of comedown). Here’s what they had to say. Read the full story at the link in bio.

class="content__text" 😭😭😭 more flooding again. Parts of Auckland are flooded this evening while the Coromandel, Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay are under heavy rain warnings. There’s torrential rain in Auckland and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Auckland. This video shows flooding in Swanson, near Henderson in West Auckland. Earlier this evening, emergency alerts were sent out to Auckland residents in Rodney, Helensville, Upper Harbour, Te Atatu, Henderson Valley, Bethells Beach, Piha, Karekare and Muriwai. The alert warned locals about landslides and flash flooding which could be brought on by “high intensity localised downpours”. And at 6.45pm, Fire and Emergency NZ saved people who were trapped in their cars in Dairy Flat. A slip has closed State Highway 1 from Waipu to Brynderwyn, and there’s mandatory evacuation orders in place for Esk Valley. This comes after Cyclone Gabrielle which has devastated the East Coast of the North Island. As of Thursday, 11 people - including a child - have died and more than 50 people remain uncontactable. A state of national emergency was extended by the Government on Monday as communities continue to feel the impact of the cyclone. This also comes after parts of Auckland were flooded at the end of January - at the time, people were forced to evacuate their homes and wade through deep floodwaters to get to safety. As a precaution, people in affected areas should: - Avoid any unnecessary travel and shelter in place. - Gather essential items to take with you if you need to evacuate. Prepare to take your pets. - If you see rising water, act asap - floods and landslips can happen quickly. I- f you see water rising or sense the land moving, don’t wait for official warnings. Head to safer ground and stay away from floodwater and landslips. - If you’re in danger, call 111. - If you can, keep an eye on the rain radar at www.metservice.com

class="content__text" CORRECTION: In the subtitles of the video, the name of the kapa haka group was misspelled as Whāngārā Mai Tawhiri and Whāngāngā Mai Tawhiti in the Insta caption when it should have been Whāngārā Mai Tawhiti. We are really sorry about this mistake! “We are alive and in time we will rise again.” Tā Derek Lardelli (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Konohi, Rongowhakaata, Ngai te Aweawe) is one of Aotearoa’s most-respected artists and the kaitātaki tāne of his rōpū who are competing at Te Matatini this year. He spoke to Re: News about why his group decided to come to Te Matatini after Cyclone Gabrielle.
