Bad news!

   Yes readers, there is some bad news. And unfortunatly, I must share it. So I won't prolong it any longer. Here it is:


            I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BLOG DURING THE SUMMER!!!

   
     I know, I'm upset about it too. Because I'm going to a ballet intensive this summer, and I'll be staying in a dorm, I may not have acess to a computer. Which means aside from the friends I make up there, I will be cut off from the world. The regular world anyway. I'll be in the ballet world. Which actually isn't bad.
    But don't worry! When I get back from my intensive, I'll be sure to pick up and proceed as usual. So...

     Salut!

Bento

      Hello readers! Today after ballet class, I decided to make a bento for lunch. And I remembered to take a picture of it for you! Here it is:



           This is more of a colorful bento. Here is how to make in case you'd like to try:

1.  Slice an orange in half and place in your bento box. (This box can be any container, just as long as everything fits compactly)

2. Fill a paper cupcake holder with carrots and then place beside orange.

3. Take two chocolate doughnuts and place them each in a paper cupcake holder.

4. Place a mini-baguette in your bento.

      And that's it! Simple right? I'll probably do some more bentos and with practice, soon you'll be able to create your own bentos!

     Salut!

Book suggestion...and oriental food!

   Hello readers! I know, I know, I haven't blogged in the past few days, but I've been busy. Monday I was going to upload a cute pic, but I haven't gotten the chance. So today I'm going to talk to you about a book suggestion. And a surprise topic, oriental food! Well, not really food, but oriental sweets.
   So for our book suggestion, we have Kingdom Keepers II. (That's two, or 2, for people who can't read Roman numerals. Don't worry. It takes me 2 minutes to figure out which king they're talking about when I read a history book.) Yes, there is a second book in the series. And a third. And a fourth! And Ridley Pearson is writing a fifth. And thinking about a sixth. And the seventh is lingering in the distance. So check out the series!
   And now about oriental sweets. Mainly Japanese. Actually mostly Japanese. Actually, ALL Japanese! I like Japanese things. (Like bento!) So our first Japanese sweet is mochi. (MO-CHEE.) It's like this little thick ball thing, which is covered in a gelatin like thing, which is covered in a powder. It is really good! At first you may think it's bitter, (compared to our American sweets. Which I guess we have made in China alot, but you know what I mean. It's our recipe.) Where was I, oh yeah! You may think it's bitter, but you get used to it and you don't have to eat alot of it. And it comes in lots of different flavors!
   And our second Japanese sweet is called Hi-Chew. It's kind of like gum, except you don't chew it as long, and it's naturally flavored. It comes in alot of flavors too! Like strawberry, grape, green apple, and mango to name a few.
    Now don't go thinking I'm dissing other countries' sweets. My friend has alot of German in her so she goes to Germany and brings chocolate back for me and my friends at ballet. It is some of the best chocolate I think. And of course France had creme brulee, Italy has gelato, and I need to stop naming food because I'm going to make myself hungry and I have ballet.

    Salut!

I figured it out!

Woo hoo! I figured out the comments! So you can now comment on my posts! And so now I am going to let you comment and ask questions! (If you want.) And I will check back every so often to answer them.
I would say Salut! But I'm not in case I get a question and answer it.

I honestly have no clue...

       Well readers, I was hoping that the comments would be up and I could answer your questions you left, but as you can see that's not possible. :(. And I was going to post a picture of my bento, but I didn't take a picture and I got hungry today, so needless to say, that won't be happening either.
       Oh! I almost forgot. My ballet show was yesterday! It went really well. And at the end, even though I just sat in the back, (me and two others), everyone clapped super loud for us! I found that funny!

I can't think of anything else to say about it! But I'll post tommorrow! (hopefully!)

    Salut!

Book Suggestion

I have to be quick today readers!

   And speaking of reading, I have a book suggestion for you! Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark. It is extremely good! It is basically about five teens who wake up in Disney World at night and fight overtakers. Epic right??? If you're interested you can just look it up online, and the author is Ridley Pearson.

On a related note, I have books due at the library tommorrow. :|

    Salut!
      Courtney ^_^

I don't own the Kingdom Keepers or Disney World or any of that.

Ballet!

Hello blog readers!
  
   Today, I'm going to talk about ballet. Since yesterday was Monday, the beginning of the week, I'm going to tell you how ballet class went.
   Let's just say class was amazing! We used Christmas music. CHRISTMAS! Probably for Christmas in July. Though it's not Christmas, and it's not July.
:(. I love Christmas in July. It's one of my favorite holidays. Maybe cause everyone underestimates it.
   And we had rehersal. Our last one! We're having a show and I'm very excited about it! And I'm making a bento for the show too! (Since we have a break between stage rehersal and the actual show). But don't worry! I'll take a picture of it and post it afterwards.

Well that's it! Tommorow I have a busy day since I have art class AND ballet, so I may just give you all a book suggestion so you can read to make up for lack of postage on the blog.
    
      Salut!
