Sailing The Pacific

Watching the clouds movement helped navigators to know when land was close. Clouds move slow when they are across land. The color of the clouds helped too. Sometimes the underside of a cloud would reflect a hint of green if it was above land or a cloud’s color might brighten as it moved over a sunlit lagoon.

Ingredients:

75 g butter,

1\2 cup white sugar,

1 large egg,

1\2 cup chocolate chips,

1\2 tsp baking soda,

11\4 cups plain flour.

4. Roll the mixture into 12 equalled-sized balls. Place these on the tray,  leaving  room  for  spreading,  and gently flatten to about 1cm thick (The mixture firms up a little on standing-if it is too soft to form into balls initially, you can spoon it out of the tray.)

5. Bake just below the middle of the oven for 10-12 minutes on until golden -brown-a fan oven is likely to cook the biscuits more quickly warm, Lift  them onto a cooling rack, then the shape and cook the rest of the mixture the same way .

My Holiday Experience

In the holidays my family were excited to go to Massey to see my favourite aunty Monika and cousins.  It was my auntie’s pay day and we wanted to go to Genghis Khan Restaurant at Massey.

Next, everyone hopped into their cars and drove to the Restaurant.  My favourite food was sushi and the meat was really yummy too.  We went and  got some meat and gave to the chefs and they cooked it really well.  I also had salad  and some chips with some other food as well.  At the end we had their delicious pancakes and ice cream.  There were 4 different flavours.

Finally, everyone felt so tired from eating and it was time to go home because we couldn’t eat anymore.  We slept on our way back home and said thank you to our favourite aunty for shouting us.
