Shortbread

Me and my mum made shortbread this is a recipe:

Ingredients

Serves: 12

• 500g butter, softened
• 200g caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 500g plain flour

*This is not a really good recipe but if you are lost in the wild it will do!

Preparation method

1.Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 12 mins

2.Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4.

3.Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla; add flour and mix well.

Put through biscuit press and form biscuits onto baking trays. Alternatively, roll out to 1cm thickness and cut out desired shaped with biscuit cutters. Bake for 12mins. 

 This is not my recipe and I did not use it so I advise you not to use it if you are not on desperate need!

 *I added that part!

Better recipe

Shortbread:

120 g butter must have been softened

50 g caster sugar

Vanilla essence

120g plain flour

50 g fine semolina

Extra sugar about 1 tablespoon.

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 20 mins

1.Preheat oven to 150 C 

2..Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. 

3. Stir in vanilla.

4. Sift the flour and semolina, add it to the creamed stuff and mix well.

Make sure it doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl and then take the lump and with a rolling pin, roll it until it's just under 1 cm thick. You can cut out shapes and put them on the baking tray.This recipe makes about 25 hearts I think. Then you put it in the centre of the oven.

When you have baked it and it has cooled down, you can pour the sugar all over it.

Yum yum and it's all gone.

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

Harry Potter has had a strange enough first year but his second one is stranger and there is bigger mystery to solve..

The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer.
 

Just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature (a house elf)named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And it does.

Who - or what - is turning the young wizards and witches to stone and what is this strange, blank book that absorbs ink,whose is it? Is it good? Or bad?

The person that wrote the blurb wrote : Rowling packs this tale with plenty of adventure and action, keeping the pace fast and furious. There's plenty of humor, too - both subtle and bold - as well as a few moral lessons. With overlapping themes that range from the simple to the sophisticated, Rowling's Potter tales should appeal to readers of all ages - the young as well as the young at heart.

The Higher Power of Lucky

Character names and what they are like:

Lucky(main character):Has good ideas, is normal,funny,and chooses good friends.
HMS Beagle (Lucky's dog):Clever and good.
Lincoln (Lucky's friend):Good at knots.

Plot:

Lucky thinks her guardian is going back to France so runs away and learns a few things.

Bountiful Cow and a Show

The day before my mums birthday (21st)we (the whole family)went to a restaurant called Bountiful Cow. Me and my sister had steak. At the restaurant there was a animal skull and my mum said that it is probably real. There was also a map of a cow and it hase lines pointing to parts of the cow with names like: Rib-eye, Rump and Fillet Steak.


We went to a realy good musical play and at a part that would hurt they acted it in slow motion. Where we sat was really high up and we had to climb up the steps which seemed like never ending but I predicted when it would end.

Oh I also had frozen yoghurt at Tutti Frutti. My favourites are peach, coffee, chocolate, lemon, and I like Oreos and chocolate mint on top. Tutti Frutti have new sofas downstairs and me and my sister did lots of reading while waiting for Mum. And then we went to meet Dad and we went to Bountiful Cow which I already told you about and the show which is called Petticoats and Dreamboats.

My Tripod Just Broke

My tripod just broke but dad will try fix it.

I am a bit sad because it just be came mine and it is as if it is punishing me for being its owner.

My Tripod

I have my own tripod!...


But it is not fully mine,my family can use it but they have to ask me.


This is how it became mine:


1.My dad got it online
2.The post man came and gave it to us
3.I opened it
4.Mum asked me if I wanted to have it for my birthday(which is on the 15th of Sep)and said she would ask dad
5. Dad said yes and...
6. ...It became mine!


So that is how it became mine.I love using my camera to take photos on it.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

The story takes place in an imaginary place called Alagaésia and other places like Hadarac Desert, Beor Mountains and Surda.

The main character is a poor orphan boy who lives with his uncle and has to go hunting for food. His name is Eragon and he is helpful, friendly and loving.

On a 3 to 8 day hunting trip Eragon finds a smooth, hollow, and oval stone.

But when the stone produces a baby dragon Eragon does not know what he is in for, starting with the silver mark that makes one a Dragon Rider.


                                 This is what is different from Riders and normal humans :


                                                         Dragon Riders


1.They can live for hundreds of years.
2.They have dragons(Eragons dragons name is Saphire)obviously.
3.They have magic.


                                                 Humans


1.They live shorter.
2.Some do not even believe in dragons.
3.Some do not even believe in magic.


                                                 Character names and what they are like:


1.Brom:Oldwise,clever and thought full.
2.Saphire(the dragon):Clever,funny and a good hunter.
3.Arya(a very famous elf):Very good at magic and sword fighting and is also wise.
4.Murtagh:good at sword fighting and very cautious.




I like this book I hope you will like it and the rest of the series.

A story about when a little imaginary boy got lost

Me and my mum walked through the entrance of a museum. At the time I did not know its name was I knew was it had dinosaurs - my favourite. We first went to see a dinosaur. It looked so realistic as I was squashed against my mum in the crowd. Then suddenly a flow of people rushed fast and we were wrenched apart like a slice of bread being torn in two. immediately with no one to guide me I felt lost (which of course I was) and completely alone. I remember imagining the dinosaur had come alive and I screamed.

People did not look at me, probably cos I imagined screaming. But still the fear was real and I cried, whimpering, "Ma Ma, Mummy, Ma Ma," over and over. Then I saw my mother and a fluttering of joy filled my heart as I ran towards her. My mum saw me coming and lifted me in a tight hug murmuring over and over again, "Oh my poor baby I thought  I had lost you".

That day we went home earlier than we would have and my mum vowed never to go to a busy place again. "I never want to lose my sweet chick pea."

My first song

White as the clouds are.
Pale as the moon is.
Bright as the sun is.
I long for you.
And that longing lasts forever.
With that longing in my heart I set out to find you.
And I found you in the.
White clouds.
Pale moon.
Bright sun.
So I found you and you loved me as I love yooooooooooooooooooo
