The economy... of a school

Okay, so there's this thing called market day at my school, where all the fourth graders make something and sell it to other fourth graders, third graders, and fifth graders. I, happening to be in fourth grade, am under pressure to create something to sell. I am going to make origami for twenty-five cents each, and just hope I pull it off with my book report where I can't find the book. So anyway, half the fourth grade is selling on May fourth, and the other half on May sixth. (That's me!) I know I want $10.00 at least, so that's like 46 origami if I pay tithing. It'd leave me with $10.35 so since I need like $70.00 ultimately I'd have to earn about $54.00 since I have $5.48. Still, $54.17 to earn? I'd better get started!

You Have NOT Seen Ice and Snow...

...Until you've been here this winter. Three-foot icicles? Seen 'em. (albeit for two seconds from a car window) we have, also, three feet of pure snowdrift near the end of the driveway not leading to the road. you want to see H2O as in frozen form? come here this winter. Examples:See what I mean? We are living in the south pole!

Honey Cookie Delight

Just today, I invented a recipe (yes, all by myself!) and tested it out. It was good, so I decided (OK, so my dad brought it up) to share my invention. I changed the proportions a little, so it might not be exact, but same thing. Now enough waiting. The one, the only, Honey Cookie Delight!

You will need: 1/4 cup of milk, 2 T. of honey, 1/4 stick of butter, 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, 2 tsp. of cinnamon, a 1/4 tsp. of salt, a whisk, two mixing bowls, and a big spoon.

First, take dry ingredients (flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt) and mix with a whisk in a bowl. Next, add the quarter stick of butter and mash that into the bowl with the dry ingredients. At this point, crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat them with the whisk. Now measure the milk and pour it into the bowl with the eggs, then do the same with the honey. The whisk is used constantly, because again you need it to beat the milk, eggs and honey together. Pour the mixture of liquids into the powder-and-butter bowl and stir with spoon. when mixture is judged to be thick enough, take out cookie racks, grease them, and spoon the batter with normal silverware onto them. Be careful not to put on too much close together, or the batter will merge while cooking. Put in oven and bake at 360 degrees for 10 minutes. When they are done, they might look something like this: Makes three dozen if cookies do not come out too big. Enjoy!
