Recipe for a sweet treat

Hi guys,

Recently I was cooking with my friends and we were making macaroons. Unfortunately, they did not really turn out the way we wanted, so one of my friends said that if we add flour we can make a cake. So, here is the recipe for this amazing sweet treat.

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

A pinch of table salt

100g of plain flour

100g of almonds

6 raspberries

200g of caster or granulated sugar

As many pistachios as you like

A teaspoon of red food colouring (optional)

Method

In a bowl pour the egg whites and the salt after the are mixed with a hand held mixer. Than gradually start adding 100g of  sugar. After the sugar is combined with the mixture leave aside.

Place the almonds, 100g of sugar and the raspberries in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are finely chopped. Then add them to the sugar mixture and mix them all together.

After it is all combined add the flour and the pistachios and mix together.

Place the mixture in a tray, sprinkle ground pistachio and bake at 150 degrees C for 20 minutes, or until there is a nice crispy outer layer.

Serve with pistachio ice cream.

Enjoy.

I hope you will make this and see for yourself how good it is.

Thanks for reading.

Continuation of my book

‘I found it impossible! All the letters mixed with numbers!’ I loved maths and so did Poppy, but Sophie was more of an English person. ‘Sophie the “letters” and “numbers” is called “algebra”’. And I found it OK. Not to easy, but OK.’ Poppy walked in with hundreds of present bags, as she always does at the last day of the year. Me and Sophie always forget the presents at home. As I opened my double door lockers that we had personalized in pink and blue, Poppy dumped her bag on the floor and put the presents on one side of the locker. On the other side were her cook stuff and coat. In my locker I had partly the same and so did Sophie just without the presents we had organized our thing, then went in our form room for registration. We usually have a very fun day at the end of the term. All our teachers brought sweets and we did many fun things. In the cooking class we had a mini master chef; it was great fun! The lunches were great too. We could order takeaway of any kind. Poppy, Sophie and I always order McDonald's. At the end of the day most people had clubs. Sophie, Poppy and I all go to four clubs together. Two are in school and two are out of school. On Friday's we go to the multiple media club. But Sophie and Poppy could not come today. Sophie has a dentist appointment and Poppy had to take her cat and dog to the vets for a check up.

Tim finished his coffee and started loading the car with the luggage, after the girls had finished their toast they went up stairs with Davina to check that they had not forgotten anything. Then they went back down stairs and switched of all the lights then got in the car, the girls fell asleep. By 3.10am they had got on the motorway much earlier than they had planned. Suddenly they came to standstill traffic due to a car fire, only two out four lanes were open. They were in standstill traffic for about fifteen minutes before get past the incident. They were at the airport car park in six minutes after they had past the crash. Check-In was open until 4.30am and it was now 4.00am.

Fashion vs Ski Part 2

When they got to Victoria’s house Davina told the girls that dinner would be ready soon and that she would call them when it was prepared. In the mean time the girls went up to Victoria’s sitting room were she switched on the Sonas music player and Olly Murs started playing. Poppy sat down on the sofa and Vitoria went to her mini bar, where she made two lovely berry smoothes. The girls sat and watched TV before they were called to dinner. For Dinner they had Sweet and Sour Chicken with noodles, then for pudding they had Cheese Cake. The girls went back to Victoria’s sitting room where they finished packing for their ski trip. Then Davina came up to tell them that she had set their alarm clock to 2.30 am and that they had to leave home at 3.30 am to get to the airport in time. She told the girls that they have to go to bed in 30 min. Davina left the girls to get ready for bed and came back 30 min later to tell them ‘good night’, in the mean time the they had washed and got ready for bed. It was 2am the girls had gotten up early so that they would get to the airport on time, they took it in turn to go and brush their teeth and wash then they got dressed and made sure they had everything, Davina had their passports and European Health Insurance Cards.

Old Romanian Houses

This museum was set up like a village. It had about 10 traditional Romanian Houses from the 18th all the way through to the early 20th century. Each house was similar but not the same. Most of them had only two rooms one room they would live in and the other one was for events such as wedding, birthdays,funerals, and baptising. One of the lady's at the museum told me that at weddings the lady's would sit on the floor and the men on benches. They would eat soup and drink a warm strong alcoholic drink that contains orange pee. She also told me that they would party from 7pm until the next day at 9am. Wedding were very popular in that time normally there would be at least one every week. The other room it the house was the living room, where all the family would live together. In this room they normally had a stove,a table, some chairs and one or two single beds. The only things they had to cook with where clay pots. They also ate and drank from clay plates and mugs. During the day women used to weave,nit, clean or cook. Men went to work on the farms and make goods for the house such as pots and pans. The average house looked like this. It was made of wood with no nails they where very cleverly placed together. It also had very small windows and the rooms were very small. Due to the small window the rooms were very dark. The men and women used to wear the traditional Romanian costumes which looked like this. Most of their clothing were made in house by women. Now if you want to buy this traditional outfits they cost about £200 each. It the countryside some people still live in the same houses and lead a life they used to 100 years ago. Thank you for reading and I hope you learnt something new.

Childhood memories

  I remember that when I was younger I use to go to my cousin’s house. She lives on a dead end road, which has like a little green ireland in the middle of the road. Me and my cousins used to go  and meet with her friends there. Sometimes, we used to go to the shop at the end of the road and treat oerselves with a a pack of Skittles or a bag of crisps that we would share. Some days we would go cycling around the ireland. We spent time by playing games,talking, or just a walking around the ireland talking about how our days went. The great thing was was that we were like a tribe and when somebody new came, they would have to be commuted to come as often as they could. Most of the time we would come in the evening when we have finished all our homework. Kids that did not live on or right next to the ireland came normally every other day. We have the most fun then. We used to clime trees on the Ireland. I remember one year one of my cousins climbed a walnut tree and we throwed up a rope that we had attached a basket to. He would fill the basket up and then send it back down where we would be waiting for it. We would take the walnuts from the bag and sent it back up. I could stay until tomorrow telling you little stories about my time at the Ireland.
